Brief description: Glain Roberts-McCabe is the founder and President of The Roundtable, a company where leaders cultivate their leadership, together. The Roundtable is best known helping ambitious leaders and teams navigate change, disruption and growth through their peer coaching and mentoring systems. Glain has led across a variety of functions and, before launching The Roundtable in 2007, spent close to a decade as a General Manager in two mid-sized consulting businesses. Along the way, she's won a few awards, stepped on a few toes, and mastered the art of the apology. A self-professed leadership junkie, Glain has written articles for publications like the Globe and Mail, HR Edge, and Canadian Manager magazine and spoken to audiences across Canada, the US, and Europe. In 2014, The Roundtable was awarded a Gold Award by the Canadian Awards for Training Excellence for their peer coaching and mentoring program, and in 2016 they were named Best External Consulting Advisory at the Canadian HR Awards. In 2018, Glain was named one of Canada's top women entrepreneurs at the RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Awards.
