After 7 years spent as a largely unfulfilled desk jockey in a couple of Engineering firms in the UK, I became disillusioned with the daily grind, spent more and more time at the pub, getting into fights, chatting up women, but mostly struggling to come to terms with working for the next 40 years without finding a real purpose to what I was doing.
Luckily at that time I had sport, firstly basketball and then later Australian Rules Football, to channel some energy towards. After meeting some good Aussie blokes who told stories of golden beaches, beers the size of your arm and betting shops actually inside the pub…. I decided to move to Melbourne in 2011 to chase the dream of being a professional footy player.
I’ve always had a passion for coaching and leadership, having been the captain of the England AFL team for 4 years (yep, you read that right… England has an AFL team!) I also coached men’s and women’s University Basketball back home in Newcastle, UK, and have captained my local footy club in Melbourne for the past 7 years, as well as mentoring the club’s next generation of young, aspiring athletes as part of our Emerging Leaders program.
After supporting a few mates through serious mental health issues, and the tragic loss of a teammate to suicide, I discovered a strong passion for supporting lads who feel unfulfilled, frustrated, or unhappy in life, and giving them a chance to develop the skills not taught to us anywhere growing up, which allow them, and subsequently the people closest to them, to have happier, healthier and more rewarding lives!
In recent years I’ve volunteered with MIND to support sufferers of serious mental illness in a 1 on 1 buddy program, and also became certified as a Mental Health First Aider.
After I discovered the Quality Mind program online, it helped take my life from ‘meh, just doing ok’ to unmatched levels of excitement, energy, and positivity every day! QM helped me change the way I speak to myself, which lifted a huge burden of negativity from my life. The new found freedom and room for positivity has given me greater focus and drive to create the life I want.
If you know that it’s time to make a change in your life, or perhaps you’re clear on your goals but feel like you’re just not getting there quickly enough, Quality Mind will get you there, and I’d love to mentor you along the journey.

F Kay2024-05-20I'm thoroughly enjoying the Quality Mind course. I've seen significant improvements in my mindset and productivity. Highly recommended for anyone seeking to enhance their mental well-being and personal growth.
Hayden Burt2024-05-07Love my time with Quality Mind Global. It's helped improve my life immensely!
RK2024-05-07Richard is inspirational, he brings complex subjects and keeps it simple, easy to understand, practical and actionable. My recent concluded programme has helped me to learn many concepts and improve few areas that needed attention. I would recommend anyone to be part of the programme so you can activate your dreams.
Kylie Starr2024-01-07My journey with Quality Mind has been amazing! In May 2023, I found myself in the lowest of lows. I’d had 5 years of continual stress, separated from my husband, have a child on the autism spectrum who seemed to develop ODD, post separation, Clearly angry at me for the marriage break-up. I went into a new relationship, which my kids had to adjust to, after the trauma of their dad leaving the family home. At my ripe age, I know I had underlying emotional issues that have never been addressed/dealt with (losing my beautiful mother when I was 11 years old and making some damaging choices as I was growing up). So now in a new relationship (which also came with loads of stress & anxiety) with someone I know very well, I didn’t feel I was as happy I should be and wasn’t getting satisfaction out of things that would normally make me happy. All that aside, quality mind is not about dealing with the past, it’s all about dealing with the future & the now! Quality mind has taught me so much about how your own internal dialogue can be so damaging! I’d been so high strung and flat-lined for so long, I didn’t know any different. I never thought I’d be able to meditate. Quality mind gives you the tools & teaches you through guided meditations. Rich Maloney & his QM crew are all amazing. You will go on a journey with your mentors & people from around the world, who are struggling the same way you are. If you’re in a rut and struggling, I strongly recommend you go through the 26 week program. You will learn so much! You will also learn to ‘unlearn’ the bad habits of your mind/thoughts, you will begin to notice when those negative thoughts start creeping in. The more self awareness you develop, the quicker you can dismiss the thoughts and move on. I’m still working on lifting my vibration, you’ll learn how powerful your personal vibration is!! This was a big learning for me, because I’d been so flat for so long. You will need to dig deep, but stick with the program, use the tools, engage with the group on the journey with you, celebrate your wins & seek encouragement from them when needed. Rich Maloney & QM, I will be forever grateful for everything you’ve done for me & everything I have learnt. I wish I was on another 6 month ride with you all, I just loved it!!! 🤩🫶🏼🤩🫶🏼🤩🫶🏼🤩🫶🏼🤩🫶🏼
Rheea Prudente2023-12-20My QM journey came at a time in my life when I needed the guidance and support for a new way of living, of seeing things. QM helped me take control of my thoughts and emotions, and helped me create a new reality. I feel empowered, and powerful. I appreciate the lessons given by Rich and Edwin, and I love the insights and stories of the people in my crew. I look back at the past six months that we've been meeting weekly, and I can marvel at the progress I have made becoming a better version of myself. I am grateful for QM.
Nicole Goncalves2023-12-19Over the last 26 weeks, I have been on a roller coaster of emotions, but finishing now knowing I have the control to live a happy and fulfilled life, and it’s all controlled by how I’m thinking, feeling and acting from those thoughts. What doesn’t work can be changed because I can change it 🌟 thanks Rich & Quality Minds team xx
Edwin S. Soriano2023-05-24Quality Mind has transformed the way I grow my business, the way me and my team make an impact in the world. Most important is how I continue to transform my life and relationships! After a recent QM meeting, I told my dad (we used to have such a strained relationship): “Dad, there is nothing you can do or say that could diminish my love for you! I love you unconditionally!” Thank you QM for being such a blessing to my life, to my loved ones, my team, my clients! We’re changing the world … Inside Out!
Louise Sagmayao2023-03-09There’s an immediate shift of mindset in the meeting. If we can only keep that pumped up state throughout the whole week up til the next meeting!
Dave Mildren2023-03-07Geoff Fairhurst is an outstanding mentor who initiated and guided us on our journey through “thought shopping” and how to effectively change the neuro pathways using affirmations. I was in a hole, full of procrastination and depression. He has changed my habits and given me a new lease on life. 60 is the new 40😎
