Round two. ✈️
Melbourne, Sydney, Dallas, Boston, let’s go.

Yesterday’s flight turned back mid-air. Silver lining? Bridget Jones and wine at 30,000 feet above absolutely nothing.

Today I came better prepared. Not leaving without a st_ali in hand. Priorities. ☕

(Boston, I’m actually coming this time.)

Vale Rob Brown 💔

There are people who show up early, before you have proof, before you have traction, and they believe in you anyway. Rob Brown was that person for EQ Leaders.

Rob understood, deeply and instinctively, what we were building with our horses. The idea that animals could help people lead themselves and others more honestly, more humanly… he got it before most people did. His belief in us during those startup days meant more than he probably ever knew.

And of course he got it. Because Rob lived what we teach. He knew that real change in people, in organisations, in communities doesn’t come from theory. It comes from being seen, being challenged, and being given a genuine chance.

Rob gave second chances as naturally as he breathed. He inspired us to do the same, to open our doors to people with lived experience, because he showed us what becomes possible when someone believes in you.

The world has lost a true original. But his legacy lives on in every person who got their second chance because of him, and in every organisation brave enough to do things differently.

To Linda Brown, Cameron, Logan and the Fruit2Work Aus family, Simon Fenech Amanda Alizzi Stuart Borg sending you all our love. 🙏🐴

Vale, Rob.

Next month, EQ Leaders' own Emma Costin will be keynoting, facilitating, and joining the panel at 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘀 & 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘂𝗺 in Temple, New Hampshire, USA.

Emma will be sharing what we're seeing with global executive leadership teams: how immersive learning brings behaviour into the moment, makes patterns visible quickly, and creates conditions for change that actually sticks back in the workplace.

The speakers include some of the most well-respected people in their fields. Quite frankly, an honour to stand alongside them.

If you're in this space, it's worth being in the room.
And if you're attending, go find Emma. She'd love to connect. 🐴

Huge thanks to Tracy Cong fpwerribee for getting our team gear sorted just in time.

Comfort sorted. Layers ready.

Thanks for keeping us looking and feeling great! 🐎

A full circle moment for EQ Leaders.

At the launch of the Wyndham City Business Mentoring Program, we stood alongside mentors who have been part of our journey since the very early days, as well as others we were meeting for the first time.

Different industries, different experiences, shared intent.

Many in the room have navigated uncertainty, growth, hard decisions and the lessons that come with building something from the ground up.

Now, that experience is being offered in service of local business owners who do not have to work it all out alone.

If a conversation can help someone avoid a costly misstep, strengthen their confidence, or move through a challenging season with greater clarity, it is time well spent.

We are proud to contribute to a program focused on strengthening Wyndham’s business community from within.

If you are a Wyndham business owner considering the program, we encourage you to explore it.

Thank you to Kennie Robertson, David Gatt , Fides-Mae Santos, Amy Lawrie and Ophélie Mouton for bringing this initiative to life alongside Wyndham City Council initiatives.

We loved welcoming Committee for Wyndham to meet the EQ Leaders herd for this recent interview with our Founding CEO, Emma Costin.

It’s an honour to contribute to the Wyndham business community and to see leadership development recognised at this level.

And yes… Donny and Astro made sure they were front and centre🐴. At EQ Leaders, the horses are never just in the background.
