Welcome to Will to Succeed, where business development and training take center stage through our specialized workshops. I'm William Hopoate, and alongside my partner Will Wolfgramm, we bring over a decade of combined experience in facilitating transformative sessions. With Will's expertise in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and my recent retirement from professional rugby league, we've converged our insights to offer workshops focusing on leadership, workplace culture, and organizational structure. Having been part of various rugby league teams and clubs, I've identified common principles of success that transcend the sporting realm. Join us in this dynamic journey of enhancing your business prowess, fostering a thriving workplace culture, and refining organizational structures for sustained success.
William Hopoate
As a former professional rugby league player with over a decade of experience, I am honored to offer valuable insights, lessons, and principles that can be seamlessly integrated into the business and managerial realm. Throughout my career, I navigated the highs and lows of professional sports, gaining a wealth of knowledge in discipline, habit development, and fostering a culture of success within a team.
In 2010, I made my NRL debut with the Manly Sea Eagles, ultimately winning the NRL Premiership in 2011. My journey also took me to the Parramatta Eels, Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, and St Helens in the Super League, where I clinched the 2022 Super League Premiership and the 2023 World Club Challenge against the Penrith Panthers. Alongside these triumphs, I faced challenges such as injuries, heart-wrenching losses, intensive training sessions, and even a wooden spoon.
Drawing from my experiences and years of dedicated mentoring to youth, I am positioned to inspire professionals, managers, and business leaders. By sharing impactful tools and motivating stories, I aim to instill confidence, a robust work ethic, and resilience in individuals within your organization. My understanding of the transformative power of personal stories has led me to seek collaboration with your business, bringing forth insights into resilience, hard work, and overcoming challenges.
I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to work with you, contributing to the inspiration and empowerment of your team. Let us join forces in creating a culture of success and growth within your business community.
Will Wolfgramm
Delighted to unveil the impactful journey that has shaped my commitment to youth empowerment, I extend my passion to business leaders and owners. Hailing from the scenic Northern Beaches, my journey as an ordinary kid with a fervor for positive change laid the groundwork for a meaningful initiative.
Commencing at 18, my mentorship journey involved guiding young men aged 12-18, including the notable mentee William Hopoate. This experience deepened my commitment to supporting all youth, steering them towards self-realization and personal growth.
In 2017, a significant setback arose when a ruptured patella tendon led to six weeks of bedridden recovery and subsequent months of rehabilitation. It was amidst this personal adversity that the blueprint for our current program began to crystallize. Remarkably, upon my return to work, I made the audacious decision to resign from my full-time position, channeling my efforts into aiding as many young individuals as possible.
Though departing from a cherished job posed undeniable sacrifices and risks, the rewards have far outweighed the challenges. Driven by the belief that investing in the well-being and growth of our youth is a noble pursuit, I am eager to collaborate with esteemed leaders in business. The aim is to introduce this transformative program to your workplace, creating an environment where young minds can thrive and uncover their fullest potential. Let's unite in fostering a culture of empowerment and growth within your business community.
