Keynotes
Are you looking for an inspirational speaker to bring a bit of happiness to your event, conference or company?
I teach audiences how they can be happier at work and how they can influence their team’s happiness too.

“We had the privilege of Richard being our keynote dinner speaker, and his talk left an indelible mark on everyone present. His ability to seamlessly blend humour, wisdom, and profound insights captivated the audience. Richard's inspirational stories resonated with us all, sparking a collective sense of motivation and purpose. His genuine passion for empowering his team was evident, making the evening a truly transformative experience. We highly recommend Richard as a speaker who not only delivers impactful messages but also leaves a lasting positive impact on those fortunate enough to hear him.”
This is my principal keynote. Using the story of my journey learning about workplace happiness, I show audiences how they can make their teams happier. I explain the basic theory of happiness in the workplace and give the practical steps they can take to improve the wellbeing of their team.
Audiences will learn how to improve employee retention and how, with just a few minor changes, can make their workplaces nicer places to be.
This keynote works well with a Q&A session afterwards
Keynote 1:
How to boost your team’s happiness in just five minutes a day.
Keynote 2:
Improve your team performance without spending a pound
Team performance can be improved without changing the personnel.
In this keynote the audience learns how they can help their existing team perform at its highest level.
The audience learns about the factors that determine team performance and the practical steps they can take to significantly improve their existing team without getting new people.
Keynote 3:
The Happiness KPI
Did you know the same factors that make people happy at work are also the same factors that define their performance? If you only focus on making your team happy, you will naturally improve collaboration, innovation and productivity.
In this keynote the audience learns why every business should have a happiness KPI.

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.

My 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 we request is to reserve some time after the presentation as there is always a lot of questions and a lot of engagement.
