Description

An award winning International Motivational Speaker, Times No1 Bestselling author. Whether it Leadership, Teamwork, Mindset, Empowerment or Inspiration, with over 3500 keynotes delivered, you're in safe hands. Click links to view



If you're looking for a motivational speaker who can truly inspire your audience, look no further. With over 21 years of experience and a focus on resilience, mindset, and leadership, I bring a unique perspective to the table that will leave your audience feeling empowered and motivated.


What really sets me apart is my high-profile back story, which has been well-documented in over 30 books and countless TV documentaries. You can even see me speak about it on Netflix right now. It's a story that's delivered with sensitivity and humour, and it's guaranteed to be a presentation your audience will never forget.

I'm also a Times No1 Bestselling author, with my first book remaining at No1 for six weeks and selling close to half a million copies.

My presentation is something a little different, but if you're looking for inspiration, empowerment, and something that your audience will remember for years to come, I would love to discuss this with you.

With over 3500 keynote presentations under my belt, I've worked with clients such as NHS, HS2, Porsche, Garmin, Barclays, Randstad, Imax and Oracle, just to name a few.


Testimonials.
 
Richard came to speak at an event held by the International Underwriting Association for International Men’s Day. We’d heard great reviews, however Richard’s keynote speech was way beyond our expectations! He had the audience engaged from the very first minute. By the end, most of us were speechless, and frankly astonished at what incredible positive energy Richard has. Valuable learnings for everyone; I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Richard as a motivational speaker. Thanks again Richard! Jo Sykes, HR Director Travellers Europe.

We had the pleasure of hearing Richard speak at our annual Leadership Conference yesterday, and I couldn’t recommend highly enough! Whilst listening to pretty challenging subject matters, Richard brought humour and fun and really connected with us all in the audience. If you are wanting to find a motivational speaker who can challenge mindsets and encourage people to reframe their thought processes, Richard would be a great place to start. Thank you for an inspiring session! Heather Stewart, Head of Talent and professional Development, Skipton Building Society.
 
Richard came to meet with and share his insights with the Specsavers leadership team. His personal journey is an amazing vehicle to communicate his iCan principles. It makes you reflect on your own beliefs and events that have shaped you and how as an individual and a leader you impact others. Richard talks about inspirational leaders that have shaped his life and at the end you realise that you to can be that inspirational leader. Thank you Richard very thought provoking. Mike Rowe, Head of Partner Attraction, Specsavers.
 
Richard is an excellent speaker who keeps you engaged from the word go, even with a shocking start in life, there is no pity involved when he talks and although his story is at the extreme end he is able to relate to his audience and show how he used his low points as a catalyst to spur him forwards and not to wallow, the areas he touches upon how his experiences can help us in both our work and personal lives, he gives you the tools and it’s up to you how or if you use them. I would highly recommend Richard to any Company wanting to boost morale and look at problems as “Opportunities”. Alex Balston, Senior Business Analyst, Sales Operation, Oracle Corportion UK,
 
 
 
Richard was recommended to us at IAG GBS to provide virtual presentation training for our senior executives when we launched our refreshed purpose, vision, and strategy for the business. He took the time to listen and understand our needs, adapted his training to fit, and included examples from his incredible life experience during the course, so we also benefitted from his skills as a public speaker.

Richard was professional, and enthusiastic, and kept up our energy levels throughout the one-day training. He was unafraid to provide constructive criticism to help us all improve our skills. 
The result was that all the executives improved their presenting skills over the course of the day, delivered brilliantly at the launch event and we are all still practicing what we learned! 

Richard is incredibly inspiring, motivating, and authentic and I can thoroughly recommend him for both public speaking and training. Nicky Challenor, Head Of Head Of Communications, International Airlines Group

Wow, what can I say? I knew Richard was going to be excellent, but he completely exceeded all expectations. He was absolutely phenomenal. His journey of resilience, confidence(iCan), and motivation was incredibly powerful and genuinely inspiring, and it resonated deeply with everyone in the room. People were talking about Richard for the rest of the day, and the impact of his story has continued well beyond the session. I would wholeheartedly recommend Richard to anyone looking for a speaker who truly connects with people and leaves a lasting impression, he was simply outstanding.

Richard was one of the guest speakers at our conference. He was truly inspiring and talked candidly about his life and experiences and how he turned his life around is an inspiration to everyone. He was genuine and relatable and demonstrated how with a can do attitude anyone can change their life. The one thing that resonated with me was the ‘I can’ statement, if Richard can anyone can. Thank you Richard.

Richard came out to present to my team recently and was exceptional. The communication leading to the event was perfect. He made himself available whenever required and was flexible to our needs throughout. I was nervous on the day as the team can be difficult to work with at times. But they loved it. They were engaged and have had nothing but positive things to say. The best feedback is seeing someone from team bring a tub of chocolates at a recent briefing and started to throw them around the room!! Thank you so much. Well worth the investment.
