Robert Powell — Coach & Sponsor
Robert Powell brings a rare combination of entrepreneurial acumen, lived experience, and deep compassion to his work in men’s mental health and addiction recovery.
With a career spanning IT, hospitality, and education, Robert built and led multiple businesses — including Integrated Payment Solutions (IPS), a multi-award-winning software company serving the education sector. Alongside his business achievements, he developed a strong commitment to mentorship, training apprentices, and helping others build meaningful careers.
But it’s Robert’s personal journey that defines his current mission. Having gone through the 12 Steps himself, he now sponsors high-performing men who are further along in their sobriety journey — individuals who face the complex challenge of balancing professional success with inner peace. His approach is direct yet deeply empathetic, helping men confront their patterns, restore integrity, and lead from a place of clarity and responsibility.
As a director at MindSpace247, Robert contributes to a holistic mental health initiative that integrates practical psychology, coaching, and lifestyle design. His focus is on helping others transition from maintenance to mastery — building lives that work on the inside as well as the outside.
When he’s not mentoring or consulting, Robert channels his energy into service — cooking for the homeless with Crisis, fundraising for the National Blind Children’s Society, and advocating for a more human, values-driven approach to leadership and recovery.
