As an elite athlete, Richard has a unique view of the world. Using his Acting skills, Richard is an affable narrator, dipping in and out of characters swiftly and with precision, using gesture, voice and stance to depict the host of people that form his story. This economic style is so effective; we can picture each person so vividly. Richard switches his own experiences back on the audience, inviting them to find meaning in their own lives and internalise the message. This is what makes Richard such a good inspirational speaker and what sets him apart from the crowd.
Richard has spoken internationally at European Conferences, Business Events, Sports Events and Award Evenings.
Richard is available to come into schools, to speak with students and put students through their paces in a professional coaching session.
