Last week, the Brooke’s Blooms Maintenance Leadership team joined forces with the Brisbane Lions AFLW team for a morning that was as inspiring as it was intense. This unique collaboration combined high-performance physical training with thought-provoking discussions on teamwork, culture, and the drive to succeed.
The day began bright and early at the arena, where the maintenance leaders laced up their sneakers alongside the AFLW athletes. Guided by the team’s expert coaches, the group dove into a rigorous training session.From agility drills to strength-building exercises, it was a chance for theBrooke’s Blooms leaders to experience the discipline and determination that fuels professional athletes.
After the physical session, it was time to shift gears. The teams moved into the boardroom, where the focus turned to the mental game. This wasn’t just about strategy—it was a deep dive into what makes high-performing teams thrive.
The discussion centred on key themes:
Teamwork: The importance of trust, communication, and collaboration.
Enjoyment: Finding joy in the journey and celebrating small wins.
Culture: Building an environment where every member feels valued and motivated.
Hard Work: The shared understanding that success comes from relentless effort.
The Brooke’s Blooms leaders shared insights from their work maintaining some of Brisbane’s most prestigious properties, while the AFLW team provided real-world examples of overcoming challenges on and off the field.
The session wasn’t just a chance to break a sweat or exchange stories—it was a powerful reminder that the principles of success transcend industries. Whether it’s designing and maintaining stunning landscapes or competing in high-stakes sports, the foundations remain the same:teamwork, culture, passion, and perseverance.
This incredible morning left everyone inspired and energized to take on their next challenge—be it on the field or in the garden. At Brooke’s Blooms, we believe in continually growing as a team and drawing inspiration from unexpected places.
