Bertha Robinson didn’t set out to become a business coach. She set out to make a difference. For nearly two decades, she climbed the corporate ladder, building a reputation for making even the most complex topics feel simple. But somewhere along the way, she realized something was missing. She had success, but she longed for significance.
That quiet longing sparked a bold leap into entrepreneurship. Leaving the comfort of a 19-year corporate career, Bertha founded Star One Professional Services, a firm dedicated to helping leaders move from setting goals to actually achieving them. It wasn’t a seamless transition. There were setbacks and plenty of doubt. But with every client breakthrough, she knew this was where she was meant to be.
Today, Bertha is a trusted executive coach and business consultant who guides driven professionals through sticking points and into their next level. She has a gift for helping others see what’s possible—especially when they can’t yet see it for themselves.
Grounded in over 25 years of business analysis and leadership experience, Bertha’s approach blends practical tools with people-first insight. She’s certified in:
- TriMetrix HD, DISC, and 12 Driving Forces
- Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
- Business and organizational leadership development
Her broader impact includes:
- Past President, NJ Association of Women Business Owners
- Founding Board Member, NJ State Women’s Chamber of Commerce
- Executive Committee Member, United Way Women United
- Honoree, Woman of Distinction and Circle of Excellence awards
Beyond the titles and accolades, what truly defines Bertha is her belief that leadership starts with empathy. That’s what she brings to every client who walks through her door.
At home in Somerset, NJ, Bertha’s life is full. She’s a wife, a mother of four, a runner, a crafter, and a fierce defender of family game nights. Her personal philosophy is simple but powerful: “Be kind and do good.” In everything she does—professionally and personally—that’s exactly what she aims to do.
