Empowering Heart-Centred Leadership Through Resilience, Connection, and Emotional Intelligence
Robbi Mack, also known as the ‘Queen of HeartBeatz’, is a passionate advocate for the transformative power of human connection. With a deep understanding of emotional intelligence, Robbi empowers individuals and organisations to unlock their fullest potential by integrating the mind with the heart. She is a powerful speaker, drawing on her unique blend of personal experience, performance expertise, and wisdom to inspire others to raise their resilience, enhance their emotional intelligence, and build heart-cantered leadership.
Having spent the early years of her career as a professional entertainer, singer, comedian, and television host on Channel Nine, Robbi’s life was once defined by the glitter of the spotlight. However, after the birth of her son, she faced a deeply personal challenge, plunging into years of postnatal depression that uncovered unresolved pain from her own adoption and early experiences of abandonment. During this time, Robbi also navigated the emotional turbulence of a family member’s struggle with alcoholism and homelessness. These personal hardships became the catalyst for her journey to emotional healing and resilience.
Robbi’s path to recovery was long, but it led her to discover the incredible healing power of connection, humour, and empathy. Through these tools, she found stability and a renewed sense of purpose. Her journey from “depressed to dynamic” has shaped her life’s mission: to help others overcome adversity and become the best versions of themselves.
In 2004, Robbi’s life took a remarkable turn when she joined a global community of Clown Doctors, inspired by the legendary Dr. Patch Adams. As 'Doctor Have-a-chat' at Sydney's Children's Hospitals for over a decade, she witnessed firsthand the extraordinary power of human connection to heal, especially in the face of trauma. Robbi’s work with children in distress solidified her belief in the transformative potential of empathy, humour, and intentional connection.
Today, Robbi brings this wealth of experience to the corporate world, helping individuals and organisations build resilience, improve communication, and foster high-performing, heart-cantered teams. Her signature approach, HeartBeatz, offers a framework for leaders and teams to engage with emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and empathy, ultimately promoting cultures that thrive on collaboration, mutual respect, and trust. She believes that at the core of every business is the heart of its people, and when that heart is empowered, success follows naturally.
As a speaker, Robbi is a five-foot firecracker who infuses her presentations with the same energy, insight, and flair she once brought to the stage. Her storytelling combines powerful business strategies with world-class performance, delivering impactful messages that resonate long after the event ends. Robbi’s unique ability to inspire and entertain has made her a highly sought-after speaker, and her deep passion for human connection shines through in every engagement.
