Testimonials

“As a consultant, Richard initiated a transformation on how the team delivered impact. Our primary challenge was that we produced excellent research and evidence but were faced with the obstacle of conveying its value to non-technical readers.

“Richard possesses a unique blend of personability and an innate ability to swiftly grasp the crucial points needed for impactful communication. He led team upskilling, and pinpointed bottlenecks in our internal processes.

“Richard helped overcome communication challenges, fostered collaboration, and enhanced the overall effectiveness of our team and ecosystem.”

“I was delighted to receive bespoke, one-to-one training sessions on both public speaking and podcasting techniques from Richard. From start to finish, his approach was exceptional. His calm demeanour immediately put me at ease, creating an atmosphere conducive to self-expression and learning.

Richard is very approachable and easy to talk to. He encouraged questions, fostered open dialogue, and provided constructive feedback in a way that felt supportive and empowering. Despite having many years of communication experience under my belt, Richard adeptly challenged me to stretch myself and think about things from a different angle, which I found enlightening and incredibly helpful for my development. I shall certainly put my new learning into practice.

What truly stood out was his thoughtful and considered manner. Instead of merely offering generic speaking techniques, he worked to enhance my preferred speaking style, gently coaxing ideas and insights from me. It was evident that he valued my perspective and experiences, which fostered a collaborative and supportive environment that was personalised and impactful.

Richard’s expertise and professional insight, combined with a relaxed and encouraging approach, makes him an invaluable resource for anyone looking to improve their communication skills. I wholeheartedly recommend his sessions to anyone seeking to enhance their ability to communicate confidently and with impact.
