Ross Chapman » Director, Development and Implementation
John Pennington After holding several sales positions, Ross found his niche as a teacher of Physical Education in Sydney which, in turn, led him to coaching sports across Australia and Europe. Highlights included coaching the Amsterdam cricket club and rugby in England and Scotland before returning to Australia to introduce the gym club concept in the 1970s.
The educational thread continued, with a speciality for developing boarding schools. He played a role in the development of Kings School in Sydney and Southport School on the Gold Coast before becoming head of Boarding at Brisbane Grammar School.
More recently Ross has acted as consultant to an international firm specialising in the assessment and improvement of workplace practices, while coaching several of Australia’s leading cricketing and rugby identities.
Education, pastoral care and the motivation of young people were Ross’ priorities. While training to become a psychologist he also completed a Masters in Education. Ross found this path led him to a love of counselling with a predilection for motivation, which he developed into the training, coaching and mentoring of executives.
Business and pleasure are interwoven for Ross. Studying, learning and sport are Ross’s passions, as well as his career.
Ross makes time to travel widely and has a great appreciation of understanding people, places and cultures through films.
