Business management, strategic advisers and highly respected commentators all agree that e-business and its impact on traditional businesses has only just begun.
In the next few years companies will embrace many new ways of doing business and apply supply chain management massively beyond the traditional boundaries, creating new business communities and new business possibilities founded on the e-business platform.
The platform builders are a diverse group of people; solution architects, developers, producers, technical architects and functional consultants. To succeed, all will need to build the same common threads: use immense creative talents, have high sensitivity to user desires and usability, and most importantly, have an awareness to build technical solutions aligned to the "real" business needs.
We are a transformation business specialising in recruitment and performance business coaching with our head office in Melbourne. The business was founded in 1998 by Gavin Norris. Respecting and harnessing the power of human energy in our own company as well as in our clients’ company is our major focus. We don’t just recruit or just coach, we go beyond the norm by looking outside the square and by looking for what our clients really need. We take a long term view to better prepare them in the sustainable development of their business. In that way, we are creating a powerful partnership and having open, honest communication channels and sharing company visions. We support our clients to realise their potential. We contribute and synergise with them to develop creative, practical and extraordinary solutions. We offer our clients’ access to powerful business networks plus new and proven ways to growing and building sustainable businesses. We operate from the principle that “people are your primary asset”. We are committed to the ongoing development of the individual and companies and have commenced a powerful professional network in the format of our Mastery 500 Club (which invites and develops star performers). We are also committed to being ‘an employer of choice’.
Our Mission is to ‘Delight’ and partner with our clients to achieve extraordinary breakthrough results.

The Commitment and Vision of rbgpeople is to make a difference in the recruitment practices for clients and professionals in the IT / Internet / e-business market place. This difference being expressed in terms of value (cost of placement & staff retention), quality of advice and level of service offered to clients and candidates respectively.
rbgpeople works to the ACS code of ethics.
The guiding business principles of rbgpeople are a result of our extensive and diverse professional experiences:
The reason we don’t harness our talents and full potential (or that of our staff) is because we don’t harness our/their emotional intelligence competence. The difference lies in not what you know, but how you manage yourself and others in different situations.
With Emotional Intelligence being recognized as the factor that gives people the edge in achieving success in the work place and all areas of their life, we have put together a series of coaching programs that help people and Companies develop their emotional intelligence.
These powerful programs are structured for achieving star performance at any level, building valuable and successful careers, achieving life-work balance, as well as where necessary, successful re-deployment and outplacement.
In today’s work environment people need to learn adaptability and flexibility to be able to deal with and welcome constant change. They need to be able to generate themselves in new teams, new circumstances and diverse environments, create opportunities and build strong relationships with colleagues and clients. Learning how to handle stress and stressful situations in a positive way avoids burnout and loss of effectiveness.
Empathy and social skills are important in recognizing and anticipating needs and with results in leadership, collaboration and inspiring and building teams. People need effective communication tools and learn empowering thought processes that have them succeed in their goals despite setbacks and obstacles. Identifying and teaching these skills through coaching is where emotional intelligence has its power in producing extraordinary results. These results impact the individual as well as his or her team with a powerful on flow within the Company.
Emotional Intelligence is improved over a period of time and requires practicing and mastering new habits – with the retooling of ingrained habits of thought, feeling and behaviour to bring about deep change sufficient for lasting improvement in performance.
Our one on one coaching programs are individually tailored and cover a six week period during which people are able to put into effect new practices, tools and habits for extraordinary results.
It is the experiential element of our programs which bring about these long term changes and results.
At the beginning of a PBC 1 program, we do an analysis of peoples emotional intelligence as a starting point. They are given a development report with a detailed inventory of their EQ which profiles their strengths and limitations and identifies which areas need most improvement. We also have them work through an EQ self-mapping workbook, which begins to raise their level of self-awareness in a wide range of competencies.
During the coaching sessions we identify key issues in their workplace and key blockages affecting their performance levels and work on those competencies with tools and practices that create extraordinary results and breakthroughs in their workplace and their lives.
Our coaching programs create a platform from which people can direct their lives more powerfully. From this platform they are able to control and direct outcomes and achieve star performance and successful careers.
The emotional intelligence competencies framework includes:
Our programs help people improve skills to:
Unlike training programs that teach a methodology with little long term change, our coaching programs work on identifying individual needs and circumstances and creating effective changes of behaviour with long term and permanent change being the outcome.
Our commitment to our program participants is extraordinary. We build trust from the onset, and our highly skilled coaches use the tools and practices of excellent emotional intelligence in the one on one coaching sessions. We are committed to making a difference to our program participants lives and to having them achieve extraordinary results and successes. By developing their true potential and talents they will be able to become star performers and have successful, fulfilling careers.
PBC 1 is the first program of a series of four that have been designed to coach participants in achieving high levels of emotional intelligence.
For further information please contact us and we would be happy to discuss your own or your Company’s requirements and look at tailoring what’s most appropriate to your current needs.

Are IQ and skills related to be successful?
Do they ensure an optimal workplace culture and increasing profits?
Not nearly as much as you might think.
In fact new research has found that 80% of personal and professional success is attributable to a group of abilities and competencies collectively known as Emotional Intelligence.
EQ is an array of emotional, personal and social skills and abilities that influence one’s ability to cope with workplace demands and pressures and determines success in life.
EQ has five key areas: self-awareness, emotional management, self-motivation, empathy and social skills.
EQ is the outcome of a combination of inborn temperament, childhood experiences and later learning. It is not uniform.
Even those with high emotional intelligence overall may be strong in some specific abilities and relatively weaker in others.
Fortunately, Emotional Intelligence can be improved and developed through learning and practice.
The main factor which constrains every relationship, whether it is in individual, couple, group or workplace contexts, is unresolved issues and conflicts within the psyche of the individual. These are usually beneath conscious awareness and can be powerful enough to create dysfunctional and often toxic behaviours and relationships.
In the workplace they can be responsible for creating an unpleasant work context, for limiting working relationships, and making poor business decisions.
Each of these factors adversely affects profitability.
An organization will function optimally; will be creative and profitable to the extent that staff, at all levels, are emotionally intelligent.
This means they have a high level of self-awareness and ability to communicate and express easily their thoughts and ideas.
It means, also, that they are skilled in negotiating all kinds of relationships and that they will benefit in the following areas:
We are pleased to offer our specialist consultant Dr Cynthia Davis who is a leading Australian expert in delivering emotional intelligence training, workshops, coaching and consulting to management.

Why not read what our clients have to say about us:
"This was my first experience dealing with rbgpeople. Overall, I was impressed by Ms Reinoga's technical knowledge and constant contact over the entire employment process. Ms Reinoga displayed professionalism and honestly, other agents did not match that during this period. I valued Ms Reinoga ability to speak candidly and offer her personal opinion/advice whilst I was deciding on the appropriate employment opportunity. Other recruitment agencies did not offer the same valuable service. Indeed, many were reluctant to speak "off-the-record" on career choices. Such advice adds value to the service provided by recruitment agents and demonstrates an interest in the candidate. This is an aspect of my dealings with rbgpeople that I appreciated."
James Jobson, PeopleSoft Consultant
"Thanks for interview this afternoon - very different to other recruiters I have worked with in the past."
A.P, Business Relationship Manager
"I approached rbgpeople in regards to managing my Career change. After spending six years with one organisation, the concept of re-entering the job market was quite daunting!
Both Gavin Norris and Elizabeth Reinoga were a wonderful support throughout this time. They took time to understand my skill set as well as my ambitions in order to determine the best job fit. From assisting with my resume to working on interview skills the team at rbgpeople made the experience a pleasure.
I was impressed by the team's extensive knowledge of the online space, the Melbourne market, people development and recruiting. As I started applying for positions, the team always kept me up-to-date with the process...I never felt that I was doing it on my own.
I am now working in a position that is challenging, rewarding and meets the objectives I had when I decided to change jobs.
I strongly recommend rbgpeople to anyone looking for a new career opportunity.
Toni Ludlow, E Business Development Manager
"I would just like to say thanks to your organisation for assisting me find the right job with the right company. What I was impressed with the most is the professional and personal way your company deals with applicants. I am very happy in my new role and with my new company. It was a perfect match. I would recommend rbgpeople to anyone - a first class organisation".
James Sagert, IT Systems Officer Abigroup Contractors Southern Region
"Over a three month period I was exposed to over 14 recruitment agencies in my search for a new position in the IT industry. I was continually frustrated by the lack of professionalism and level of expertise. Although some agencies came close to my expectations none could display the professionalism of rbgpeople.
Elizabeth Reinoga displayed a high level of professionalism and was attentive to my needs. She understood my vision and didn't attempt to divert my focus from my primary objective, which was to find a new challenge in the IT industry. Other agencies tried to coerce me into setting my sights lower due to, in their view, my lack of industry expertise.
From my initial contact via phone to the day that I started in my new position Elizabeth and rbgpeople have been nothing but professional in all of their dealings with me. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending both Elizabeth and rbgpeople to any prospective job seeker or employer."
Philip Ellis - Client Account Manager
"Thank you so much for ringing me on Friday afternoon to let me know the situation. Meant a lot."
Joshua Kiff (Candidate)
"I am really impressed with your professional manner in which you operate and have enjoyed the "coffee" element of these conversations."
Peter Selar - Project Manager
"rbgpeople was instrumental in helping me achieve a smooth transition in my career. Changing jobs is always stressful but their professionalism and helpfulness ensured the whole process was a pleasant and successful experience".
Justin Hodgson, Senior Brand Manager - "Whereis.com.au"
"The service provided by rbgpeople was personalised, the consultant took time to get to know me and understand the features I was looking for in a job before matching me with the potential employee. They also provided ongoing support throughout the interview process and regular updates on the progression of the interviews. For me it was a very positive outcome, I am now working with a company that is providing me with the challenge and opportunity I was seeking".
Tegan Dullard
"rbgpeople took an attentive and consultative approach to fully appreciate my skills and job requirements. As a result they were able to place me in a position, which perfectly suited my needs and supported my career objectives. I found rbgpeople an amicable and professional organisation to deal with, and value the ongoing relationship that has been formed."
Neil Adolphson (Project Manager)
"It has been 5 months now since I joined my new company. Gavin had given me an accurate picture of what I would have to expect. However, rewards have exceeded the expectations. Apart from the financial benefits, I have also received very valuable training, and had great opportunities to travel overseas, without being away from home too much either. The company culture is excellent. I am very pleased to have found this opportunity with the help of rbgpeople".
Norbert Wichmann, PeopleSoft Consulting, Melbourne/Australia
"Thank you once again for your time yesterday. I'll echo what I said yesterday, "It was the best experience I have had with an agency to date"
Simon Crean
"In August this year as I looked for a transition in my career, I was fortunate to come in contact with Gavin Norris from rbgpeople, who helped place me in a fulfilling and challenging role with Pacific Access. Gavin's experience in a broad array fields, personal approach, and rich understanding in the dynamics of career development was commendable, both during the interview process, and into my placement. I would recommend rbgpeople to both organisations looking for professional employees, and people looking to advance themselves in a professional career."
John Dileo
"After meeting with you to discuss my career options I felt really confident that you understood the type of position that I was looking for. Your approach was excellent - you took the time to sit down and go through my resume with me in a positive and constructive way, you outlined the job placement process and told me exactly what I could expect from you, and then you delivered. You made frequent contact with me and kept me informed about what was going on. The experience left me feeling really positive and I would recommend your services to anyone."
Amber Robinson
"I have known Gavin Norris for many years and have sourced high quality IT resources through him on many occasions. He has continued to provide high quality services to me through rbgpeople. The differentiator for me is that Gavin always ensures that the candidates he proposes are well qualified to meet my requirements and consequently I do not have to weed through piles of irrelevant CV's in the hope that I find one that is appropriate."
