Robbie Figg

 

about Robbie

Beginning work life as a kids sports facilitator, he stayed at Jungle Sports for just over 10 years. Whilst there, he developed nationally successful programs and won several awards for facilitation in his time as their national manager. 

Moving from kids to big kids, he took on the State Manager role at Corporate Challenge Events where he led team-building facilitated events that were renowned in the industry for their own positive culture. Helping grow that business through relationship building and client retention, he decided it was perfect timing to bring his experience to Happiness Co as it expands its reach into workplaces around the world. 

He has a successful podcast, works in sports commentary for ABC radio and hosts events around Australia with crowds of 10,000+, through his MC’ing side of life. Away from Happiness HQ, Robbie plays footy for his beloved Wembley Football Club, enjoys hanging with friends and family and devotes time to leading a volunteer team at Radio Lollipop. There is no doubt your team will benefit from programs facilitated by Robbie.

Glenn Flood

Glenn Flood

 

about Glenn

Glenn’s depth of experience, industry credibility and media insight make him a true alchemist in the realm of food. His leadership, innovation and dedication were forged in the heat of the kitchen environment. He is passionate about helping you and your business thrive. Glenn began his cooking career in Sydney where the frenetic energy, fresh produce and intensity immediately drew him in.

During his apprenticeship he was introduced to ‘competitive’ cooking in which he excelled, being awarded Apprentice of the Year 1998. Glenn’s thirst for knowledge took him to five-star hotels, the ski fields of Canada and eventually the Michelin starred ‘Harvey’s Restaurant’ in England, where he honed his techniques under French chef Daniel Galmiche. He absorbed a wealth of insight from Daniels’ colleagues – the likes of Heston Blumenthal, Gordon Ramsay and Michel Roux Jnr. Arriving back in Australia, the food culture of Melbourne immediately embraced him – proximity to produce, passionate suppliers, an entrepreneurial mindset – all of it felt right.

He joined Tobie Puttock and Jamie Oliver during the launch of Fifteen Melbourne as Training and Development Chef. Surrounded by TV cameras, high profile chefs and a cohort of young apprentices was exactly the challenge he needed to thrive as a culinary trainer and mentor. He assisted the recruitment of judges Gary Mehigan, George Calombaris and Matt Preston for MasterChef Australia, which completely changed the landscape of food in this country.

Glenn is all about creating the right mindset and strategy to help you and your team thrive. His motivating attitude, passion for food and zest for life will continue to be an inspiration to the clients he works with every day.

Abundant Life Solutions

Rosemary McCallam

 

about Rosemary
Close your eyes and picture this…

Your employees look forward to coming to work because they feel drawn to a positive culture, their contributions are valued, a team mentality exists, and they understand and are driven by the noble cause their company aspires to. Further, they become uplifted and motivated by their colleagues and senior management, they feel loyal to the company and the people within it, they know their place and understand advancement and opportunities to grow are abundant. Additionally, workplace stress and fatigue are foreign concepts, politics and petty squabbles are not tolerated, and various arms of the corporation connect and collaborate so the big picture is attained and the noble cause achieved.

Imagine the consequent productivity gains and other benefits to all stakeholders. Imagine the excellence, diligence and camaraderie of this team. Imagine the pride and satisfaction these employees enjoy.

Open your eyes…

This workplace could be your workplace.

I’m Dr Rosemary McCallum. Using the Foundational Emotional Intelligence that dwells deep within us all, I work with middle management and above in companies and SMEs of 20+ employees to –

  • Establish high-functioning teams,
  • Create a culture of excellence,
  • Deny oxygen to trouble-makers,
  • Open feedback loops for greater transparency,
  • Ensure people come first,
  • Improve productivity,
  • Give all employees the freedom and confidence to be their best.

Best of all, your workplace gets a gust of fresh air enabling relationships to thrive along with a burst of fun.

Things a little stale in your work environment? Productivity low? Too much tension? There’s a formula to address this so call me and let’s reignite the enthusiasm in your team.
