A compelling, insightful, and thought-provoking session! We were thrilled to have Richard join us and share his invaluable experiences and thoughts on teams happiness, innovation, and performance. Hearing from someone who blends deep theoretical knowledge with real-world insights was truly inspiring. His practical tips on how to drive progress both individually and as a team were incredibly beneficial.

Richard’s keynotes can be customised to meet the needs of any audience. They can be delivered in person or online and can be customised to fit the content and length you need. The only thing he requests is to reserve some time after the presentation as there is always a lot of questions and a lot of engagement.
