About
At the age of fourteen I had the privilege to work along side and travel with my father, the late Robert Chivers, who ran a successful business management consultancy. My father would help companies grow their business using strategic planning, communication and marketing strategies, combined with practical team building activities that paralleled the theory. He believed that you could never absorb knowledge if you couldn’t feel it. This was my first real lesson in business and is a lesson I still follow today.
My father would hire adventure companies to come in and run team building activities, as I watched on unbeknown to the learning experience I was exposed to. It only took me six months to start to suggest my own challenge activities that would be more suitable to the clients I was observing. By the time I was fifteen I started my first company aptly named, Motiv8. I had gone and got myself certified in a range of adventure activities and at eighteen I started my Bachelor of Health Science in Human Movement, specializing in behaviorial psychology of teams. This is what I believed was the ingredients required to push clients out of their comfort zone, while understanding the theory of what would influence a person to take more risk. Without taking on risk there was no opportunity to grow. This was the second lesson I learnt from my father.
For the next five years I traveled around Australia with my father facilitating a vast array of company challenges while learning the do’s and don’t’s of business practice whilst coming up with practical solutions and theories to my father's business teachings. It's amazing what you can learn by observation.
At the age of twenty I had the opportunity to go into business with Chris Milne, founder of adventure company, The Edge Adventure Sports. I went on to grow Motiv8 and its corporate team building activities, at the same time as developing my skills as an instructor and business partner. Chris’s mentor-ship, creativity, passion and a ten year relationship was the foundations of my understanding of what it meant to run a business.
Chris and The Edge have gone on to grow into a multi-faceted business that has Australia’s largest Adventure Center, and a successful rope access company, ironically named Inov8 Access. During these ten years I strengthen my business academia and completed a Diploma in Business Management and went on to gain certification in a range of health and fitness specialty areas that included professional personal training, corrective exercise and remedial massage and a number of other skill sets that lent themselves to my growing profession of managing people’s risks.
By the time I was thirty, I was ready to explore a new challenge. The world of business risk management. Through my ten years with the Edge I had the opportunity of working with Kimberley Turner, CEO of Aerosafe Risk Management and Global Risk Alliance. Kimberley's skills and experience in risk management naturally lent itself to the exciting challenges we were now taking on with Motiv8. Subsequently, the business relationship matured and Motiv8 was acquired by Global Risk Alliance and a new chapter in my life was about to begin.
I went on to complete my Graduate Certificate in Risk Management and was certified by the Risk Management Institute of Australia (RMIA) as a Certified Practicing Risk Manager (CPRM). For 4 years I lived and breathed risk management working with CEO’s and executives from around the world. Helping people not only manage their risk but achieve their objectives. I soon developed my own philosophies, business strategies and theories towards risk management and its practice in the industries I am passionate about.
Business. Adventure. Events. TV & Film. Health & Fitness.
Life is too short not to take risk. You just need to know how to manage it.
