TOPICS: KEYNOTE TALKS AND WORKSHOPS
Richard is one of the most dynamic motivational speakers in Australia. His keynote talks and workshops are raw, real and bursting with energy. He shakes things up, inspires action and leaves audiences buzzing. Here’s a quick look at what he delivers:
You were by far the highlight of the entire 3 days. Our leaders rated you 9.3/10. One participant said, “The Brand Guy changed my life”.
CMO, Aquent
We have never had such great feedback from one of our #digitalks: 90% rated your talk as “excellent”.
CMO, Aquent
Richard's keynotes and workshops are a wake-up call for people at work.
He believes each one of us has potential that extends far beyond our actual day-to-day performance. Instead of living and working 10/10 lives, we often settle for 7/10 because it’s a reasonable position to take, it gets the job done, it doesn’t require taking any unnecessary risks and it’s just a safe place to be.
His approach is aligned with the ideas and practices of the Human Potential Movement (Abraham Maslow, Viktor Frankl, Alan Watts, et al) and Positive Psychology (Martin Seligman).
Richard believes that driving successful outcomes in people requires new thinking, greater self-belief, a positive attitude and a genuine desire to want to step out of your comfort zone and start being the person you really are.
That’s why Richard continues to be a go-to choice among motivational speakers Sydney-based businesses who rely on him to energise and elevate their teams.
Richard gives his audience an experience that they will literally never forget.
It’s like riding a bicycle: You can talk to a group of people about how to ride a bicycle for 60 minutes or even a full day, and they still won’t be able to ride a bicycle because you talked about it. But as soon as you give them the actual experience of riding a bicycle and they start riding, it’s something they’ll never forget. This is how Richard's talks and workshops work.
Put him in front of your staff and he will unlock something amazing in them..

Richard offers clients the opportunity to customise his content to better meet their needs.
Your team might be delivering average outcomes and not fully backing themselves when it comes to pushing for remarkable work. Your leaders might be closed off to the people they’re supposed to lead. People in your organisation might be resisting change. Your brand might be lacklustre and in need of some love and inspiration. You may have a culture where people feel they can’t express their ideas or views. Employee engagement might be on the fall. Or you may want a keynote that supports the theme of your next all-staff event.
These are the types of challenges that leading business motivational speakers are brought in to help address. As one of the most experienced motivational speakers Australia has to offer, Richard tackles them head-on.
Whatever specific issues or challenges you're facing, Richard can adapt his content to meet your specific event, business or team needs and requirements. Whether you're organising a leadership conference or planning an offsite, this Australian motivational speaker knows how to make it count.
His audience is invited to contribute to the conversation by participating in group exercises, commenting and sharing.
Richard’s delivery is backed up with videos, music, visuals and a large whiteboard to map the journey and capture audience feedback.
It’s this dynamic, interactive style that sets him apart from many motivational speakers in Sydney and around the country.
His content never remains the same. It's always reflecting current ideas, attitudes and issues, and these things do change from one day to the next.
Richard's workshop was high-energy, high-value and hilarious! He thinks like a pro and talks like he is walking on air. His energy is infectious.
