Rowdy McLean

Results matter! Every business and every individual wants to achieve more, do more, be more or have more. We all want to play a bigger game but often lack the resources, inspiration or motivation to change results and outcomes.

Ron McLean has been known as Rowdy most of his life, not because he is loud and brash but because he has a quiet steely determination to succeed. He challenges the average and interrupts the status quo. He is the master of making things happen and getting things done.

Playing a bigger game is Rowdy McLean’s life story, overcoming adversity and challenges to achieve remarkable results. Rowdy is an average guy, who grew up in an average family in an average town. He first started playing a bigger game as a professional sportsman. Then at the age of 24, he started a business in competition to one of Australia’s largest conglomerates, with no money in the bank and a can do attitude. He retired ten years later.

As a CEO he has turned around ailing companies. As an entrepreneur he has built success from the ground up. As a socialpreneur he has developed initiatives that make a real difference. His seminars are attended by thousands of people each year. He works with those organisations, leaders and teams that want to be at the top of their game.

A master storyteller Rowdy shares his expertise and experiences in a manner that engages people in playing the game of success. Rowdy helps organisations and people change the game and change the results. He lights a fuse that will keep burning long after the event, a fuse that inspires people to continually look for ways to raise the bar.

As an international speaker, author and consultant he travels the globe inspiring individuals, teams and organisations to achieve more, be more, do more and have more! Ultimately Rowdy opens the door on what’s possible and assists individuals, teams and organisations take the leap from where they are to where they want to be.

TeamsGetting into the game

Getting Into The Game A no-nonsense guide to building

bullet proof teams.

In management we have heard a lot about IQ and EQ – so why is it whenever managers are asked for their number one desire in a new employee, or when leaders are asked what it will take to take their company to the next level – the answer is always… the right attitude? Rowdy McLean believes that developing, attracting and maintaining the right ‘AQ’ within yourself, your team and your organisation is the only key to success.

• Understanding what makes a team tick• Attitudes are infectious – be the cure!• How to get people focused on their results rather than their circumstances• How to take your team from ‘can’t’ to ‘can’• A little can do goes a long way• How to encourage your team to see opportunities and not obstacles• How to continually raise the bar, regardless of your current results

“Rowdy was very personable from the outset. He was readily able to grasp the nuances of our industry to understand the issues we were facing and deliver

an honest and insightful message that achieved great results at a critical time. ”

Sharon Ruddleston, Manager OnQ Human Resources

SalesChange the game

Change The Game Developing a unique selling attitude.

The commonly understood method of selling is to focus on the USP’s – Unique Selling points – but how many people have had a phone call or meeting with a sales person with plenty of USP’s and a really bad attitude? The greatest strength of any sales person is their ability to connect with potential customers. Added to this, the resilience to stay on course when others may give up or burn out. The difference between those that make it and those that don’t is always attitude.

• Develop the attitude that the next sale is in the next phone call or meeting• Build the resilience to hear a no (or ten) and keep going• HOW TO ALWAYS SAY YES – THEN FIGURE IT OUT!• How to get over the capability hump • How to turn every no into an opportunity to learn more about your customer• Understanding that no is a question, not an answer• How to bring your authentic self to every transaction • How to stop a negative attitude in its tracks – and avoid those that try to restart it!

“Rowdy did a fantastic job in motivating and inspiring the team to achieve more at our National Sales

Conference. He challenged their thinking and took them on a journey that left them believing they will

achieve great things throughout the year. The group continually referred back to the learning from

Rowdy’s presentation throughout the conference”

Rob Dickerson, Marketing Director, Invida Pharmaceutical

LeadershipTop of the game

Top of the Game A Shift from EQ to AQ.

The largest influencer of employee behaviour is the attitude of their leader. Is your team inspired to take risks, knowing you will back them up rather than blame them? Does your team see you take set backs in your stride, rather than move straight to defeat? The largest differentiating factor between leaders that last and those whose teams build voodoo dolls of them in secret – is attitude. Rowdy Mclean believes that what you do is far more important than what you say – and the unfortunate fact is, so does your team. Are you a leader that shows up just to prevent your team from getting it wrong, or are you a leader whose presence inspires others to keep moving.

• Learn how to walk the talk and how it impacts others• Learn the three laws of execution – inspiration, motivation, agitation• How to use your agitation to inspire• How to understand the effect of your attitude on people and performance• How to leverage – rather than drown – in the differences in the organization• HOW TO GET THE WRONG PEOPLE OFF THE BUS – Quickly and with minimum impact

“Rowdy touched on many things that really hit the spot and the style of the presentation was highly

engaging with interactive elements that were fun as well as informative… for anyone owning a business, working as a Manager or leading a

team this session is essential.”

Anthea Somerville, Relationship Executive, Qantas Airways

Business Winning the game

Winning The Game How to take on the big guns and win.

We’ve all heard of the story of David and Goliath – but what do you really need to take on the big guns and actually WIN? Rowdy McLean discovered early on in his career that the largest opportunities live in the places where people say ‘it can’t be done’. 75% of the worlds greatest entrepreneur’s didn’t finish high school, the one thing they do have in common is their AQ – attitude. Or, put in different terms they were all crazy enough to believe they could do it!

• The three laws of reality – get real about how things really are, get real about how you want them to be, and then get real about making it real.• How to become inspired rather than overwhelmed by your competition• How to compete with a company that has all the money in the world – and win!• How to move from USP’s to USA’s – A Unique Selling Attitude• Understand the law of perception – how to look bigger than you are• How to leverage opportunities to create win/win situations

“He is engaging, true to life and relevant for all businesses today. If you want to be relevant in the future, then I believe Rowdy can help you

and your team”
