OUR PEOPLE

Richard Maloney is the founder and CEO of both Engage & Grow Global and Quality Mind Global. With over 20 years of experience in the sports industry, and having worked with hundreds of elite athletes, Rich has proven time and time again that the body is led by the mind. Now, he has a unique and tangible system designed to minimize or eliminate injuries from athletes through systematic mental training, allowing you to unlock your ultimate sports capability and your true potential, in both sport and in life.

It all started for Rich, when at the age of 18, he was recruited to play for his beloved, St Kilda Football Club (AFL). This was the epitome of success for a footballer, playing at the most elite level in Australia. It seemed like a dream come true, and yet, what he gained there was a very stark and unnerving realization that he wasn't mentally equipped to handle the immense pressure that came with being an elite sportsman. Rich was already battling demons in his personal life, and the stress proved all too much. He chose to walk away from his lifelong dream, but this failure stayed with him, and it ultimately drove him to build his ‘Quality Mind' business. Read more.

Now 44 years old, Richard has been associated with six elite Australian sports organisations, including the Western Bulldogs Football Club (AFL) as their Leadership and Culture Coach. He has helped 32 local sporting teams win premierships, and he has brought over 50 teams to finals. Richard is also the founder, creator and owner of two incredibly successful businesses;

Engage & Grow Global, which is making a huge global impact on employee happiness in the workplace. With over 300 Employee Engagement licensees now running Richards' systems in 35 countries, they bring the colour back in to people's lives and workplaces.

And Quality Mind Global, which has over 200 clients in 15 countries, as well as Quality Mind Mentor Licensees in 7 countries.

With the development of Quality Mind, what started as a way of simply removing injuries in elite athletes by unlocking their minds, has now opened the door for every person to release the magic of mental transformation into their lives. Richard's homegrown system, the Maloney Method, has been integrated into a unique, proven, step by step system that has helped hundreds of people remove the obstacles holding them back from living the life of their dreams. Now, with the recent introduction of the game changing Quality Mind app, he is literally changing lives every day.

Richard has been a headline speaker at many industry conferences and events, and he has spoken in 15 countries. He is the author of ‘The Minds of Winning Teams', ‘Engage & Grow' and ‘Injury Free'.

Richard lives in Melbourne, Australia, with his wife Kristen and their three young daughters.
