Paul Nixon - Leadership Development Vodafone
I was absolutely thrilled to host Richard as he spoke at a Vodafone event about happiness at work. He is experienced and knowledgeable in the field and so offers credible insights and advice. Our public conversation, in front of 200 leaders, was very well received and thoroughly enjoyable. Richard is a naturally grounded speaker who communicates well and connects with his audience. I really hope we’re able to chat again in the future and strongly recommend him as one who can offer excellent insight into leading high-performing teams.

Dan Blackman - McClaren
Having attended one of Richard’s events, I found his knowledge and topics resonated deeply with the needs of my own and many other businesses today. My peers shared the same sentiment, noting how well-prepared and professionally presented the session was.
Bringing Richard into our business thereafter wasn't just a choice; it was a must. He hosted a fantastic team development session for our department, providing intelligence, uplifting conversation, and coaching that inspired many. His dedication before, during, and after the event was exceptional. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone looking to inspire, promote, or develop their teams, functions, or individuals.
Fran Murrells - Worklife Central
Richard ran a brilliant session for WorkLife Central members on 'How To Boost Your Team’s Happiness In Just Five Minutes A Day'. His evidence based, practical advice and storytelling, open style really resonated, resulting in lots of positive feedback and actions taken away.
Courtney Seery - Serve and Protect Credit Union
Richard did an excellent job of reinforcing how our mindset shapes not only how we perceive work, but also the experience we have within it. Although this isn’t necessarily a new concept, the examples used were incredibly powerful and really resonated. The sessions delivered were thought-provoking and left us feeling inspired to take ownership of how we view our work, as well as to be active drivers of change.
I was also pleasantly surprised by the level of engagement across the group. Every member of staff got involved, and the exercises and workshops gave people the opportunity to explore challenges more deeply by identifying root causes and working towards practical solutions. The entire day felt highly interactive, collaborative and constructive.
Overall, I was extremely impressed with the delivery of the session and everything it encompassed. I would highly recommend Richard to any organisation looking for an engaging facilitator who can challenge thinking and inspire action!
Gareth Cutts - NOCN
Richard ran a half day workshop for our IT team in our office in Sheffield.
The aim of the day was to empower our team to work together to improve the wellbeing of all. Richard’s session achieved our goal and so much more. All team members left with a clear understanding of their own needs at work and their team’s needs. Each team also came up with ideas to improve their own team’s wellbeing that we implemented immediately. Amazingly they are already having an impact.
Richard was an exceptional trainer. Highly recommended.
