Don’t <\/i><\/b>sweat the small stuff<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Today we chat to State Manager for NSW – Steve “Stevie P” Peverett.<\/p>\n
Steve is the epitome of starting at the bottom and working up through the ranks. With an extensive background in the finance sector that quickly took a U-turn after the GFC in 2008, South African-born Steve quickly put down roots in Australia after a chance meeting on a Croatian sailboat with now wife Tash.<\/p>\n
\u201cLiving in Australia was never really part of the plan, but after Tash left the UK where we were living at the time when her visa expired, I decided to take a chance with a tourist visa for 3 months and never left\u201d.<\/p>\n
After landing in Sydney with a keenness for a fresh career start, Steve took a role at a local golf shop and soon worked his way up to be Director of Golf.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got to a point where I had no further growth opportunities where I was, so it was only natural I started to look at the next step for my career. A role at Moore Park Golf came up in 2014 and I saw it as a huge opportunity\u201d.<\/p>\n
Right off the bat, Steve appreciated the different management frameworks he was afforded once joining Moore Park Golf, managed by Clublinks, with the potential reach of new players on a public course far greater than what he had experienced previously.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe golfing profile was evolving, and we were seeing a much younger and more diverse demographic coming through which was really exciting as it meant new opportunities to try different things and really pivot the profile of the sport\u201d.<\/p>\n
When asked why he chose to join MPG \/ Clublinks specifically, it was the reputation that both brands held and the opportunity to grow with an evolving organisation right from the get-go.<\/p>\n
\u201cI went from managing a golf shop which would be lucky to see 50 people in a day, to a fast-paced environment which sometimes has up to 1,000 people through the door in a single day. I went from the bottom and worked my way up to now being State Manager for NSW. Having the ability to grow as the company has grown has been pretty cool.”<\/p>\n
\n“Being given the license to let creativity roam free is a true feature of the Clublinks way, and it\u2019s a key reason I enjoy coming to work every day\u201d.<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Steve has cited the people are what makes Clublinks different \u2013 that the organisation really understands the true value of good people and nails it.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur teams are all great people and we recruit really well and train well. We continuously assess ourselves against our values, and I believe this has been a key driver of growth over the past few years”.<\/p>\n
In his life away from having a golf course as the worst office in the world, Steve and his wife Tash are parents to three-year old or \u201cthree-nager\u201d Mabel who is a true Daddy\u2019s girl and makes coming home every day from work all that more special.<\/p>\n
When asked what his biggest achievements have been since joining Clublinks in 2014 are, Steve cited transitioning new partner UNSW and their Fitness & Aquatic Centre in 10 days as a huge feat he and his team accomplished.<\/p>\n
\u201cWatching how a young team just dug in and punched above their weight without any complaint \u2013 everyone pulled together and have really knocked it out of the park, which has been incredible”.<\/p>\n
On reflection of his career achievements and journey to date, what advice would Steve give the 21-year old self?<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t sweat the small stuff! I was so hell bent on getting a University degree, thinking it was the most important thing in the world and the only channel to having a fulfilling career. On the back of that \u2013 number two is to travel more and experience new things.<\/p>\n
(Travel) has meant learning emotional empathy and understanding things from different perspectives, which has really aided me in my career successes to date.\u201d<\/p>\n
