Richard's Keynote Topics

Learning to Love Change

In order to love change, and therefore be able to lead it, we need to feel that we can control it and not be victims of it. It’s about decoding individual triggers, altering your thinking and steering the course of transformation with intentional action and understanding.

Simple Thinking

In order to achieve simple thinking; a greater clarity and efficiency, we must ensure impactful communication, enhanced climates for problem-solving and decision making, a reduction in stress and a culture of action orientation and adaptability.

A Sense of Direction

What do people and organisations that have enjoyed sustained success have in common? A sense of purpose. In this session, Richard explores how communication, skills development, leadership, and empowerment must be developed and nurtured to encourage a genuine sense of purpose.

Mental Toughness

Using his unique insights into human development, Richard has translated his work and experience from schools to high performing corporate environments where the ability to risk, learn and develop are vital. Richard argues that it is often the most naturally gifted individuals who struggle with resilience, and that having the confidence to fail and overcome adversity is critical if we are to get the best out of ourselves and our people.
