If you're looking for a speaker to deliver a generic wellbeing talk, delivering tips/ideas which you could easily find in a google/Chat GPT search, then I'm probably not the speaker for you. But if you're looking for a down-to-earth, energetic speaker, to share original and usable tools to help your people navigate the challenges of burnout, mental health and belonging, then let's book a call on Teams/Zoom. Drawing on the latest global research, my own lived experience and the voices of the many people I interview on my podcast, I serve diverse organisations, including: National Highways, NFU Mutual, The Crown Estate, University of Liverpool, Specsavers etc As part of my speaking work, I tailor every talk I deliver to the specific needs of the organisation and I'm always pleased to help event organisers, like making the free promotional video for your event, to help you create awareness internally about the forthcoming talk, or the post-talk-summary video, to serve as a reminder of the content for those who attended. A selection of just a few testimonials include: 1) Mo Brownridge - Senior Communications Manager at Pernod Ricard Global Travel Retail Andrew was proactive in ensuring his presentation was tailored both to our organisation and our audience. His engaging style of delivery brought the best out of our colleagues (even first thing in the morning), and we received many comments that they could have listened to him talk longer, so we’ve already booked him for another talk later this year! 2) Amy Lange - Communications Associate at Pepper Advantage UK Andrew delivered a hugely engaging and thought-provoking session. We received hugely positive feedback from both the men and women who attended the call, who found Andrew's talk incredibly insightful and took a lot of practical steps and resources away to benefit from moving forwards. 3) Claire Goodwin - Learning & Development Advisor BUUK Infrastructure His online delivery was flawless, with delegates commenting how instantly engaged they were, even when webinars weren’t usually their preferred learning style. If you are looking for a keynote speaker who will get your people having quality conversations about topics they might not ordinarily discuss, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Andrew. 4) Safia Francis-Kukaswadia (she/her) - Inclusion & Culture Specialist, EMEA & Asia Pacific – DLA Piper A massive thank you from both of us and all the team at DLA. Andrew, we genuinely think you might be one of the best speakers we've had at the firm. The sessions have had excellent feedback, and we really appreciate how flexible and great you were to work with. My available keynote talks (virtual and in-person) include: - Burnout-Proof: collective and individual habits which actually work - Men under pressure: why our challenges are complex not toxic and how to solve them - Crack the cliques: workplace belonging in just 3 steps - The two imposters: why 85% of people battle a syndrome which 'fake it until you make it' can't solve - Dilemmas to decisions: acting wisely when you need to think fast - Having a word: navigate the 3 'minefield' conversation types in one piece - Mastering time: 4 pillars to protect what matters most I'm also accredited by and a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) a member of The Professional Speaker’s Association (PSA) and all my talks are CPD accredited. Outside of work, I'm also a Father of 5, including 3 boys under 13, which means I'm is a highly skilled negotiator, maid, tutor, cook, cleaner, war zone reporter, health and safety officer, triage nurse, chauffeur, bribery guru and professional blackmailer.
I love serving diverse organisations, from Yorkshire Ambulance Service to Specsavers, to Birmingham City University, Sandwell College and Gloucestershire County Council etc. I love being on my feet with groups of people, knowing that the strategies I'm sharing, are being used long after the talk has finished ... and of course, I absolutely love speaking about topics which I'm extremely passionate about!
I love the creative side of being a performer.
This includes developing rich content, ensuring that the strategies I share for dealing with burnout, developing resilience, mastering your time, overcoming imposter syndrome etc, are: a) easy to understand and use, b) powerful in developing people's skillset, c) truly original and avoiding same-old/same-old!
It also includes constant self-development as a speaker, so I continue to master my topics whilst also delivering my work in an engaging, relatable and inspirational manner.
Whilst I'm new to Bark, I've been a professional trainer for 12 years and speaker for 5. The feedback I receive from the organisations I serve (there are named testimonials available on my website and linkedin profile) speaks for itself.
Aside from the comments about my energy and passion, a common theme within the feedback, is that people appreciate the strategies I share and the usefulness of them on a day-to-day basis, strategies which they could not have predicted and which were new to them. I'm passionate about avoiding regurgitating the same old advice people have heard a 100 times before and instead, for all my niche areas, providing genuinely, fresh insight on familiar topics (motivation, time, resilience, burnout etc)
Yes, 70% of my work is online, usually via Teams, Zoom and GotoWebinar. I'm equally comfortable in-person or online.
My entire service is available online (inc 1-2-1 coaching, group coaching and keynote speaking) and I continue to keep up to date with government guidance for managing and preventing COVID.

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.

Bex was incredibly helpful, I came to her with social anxiety and needing a strategy for my next step, even at my most vulnerable I felt safe and understood. She is incredibly insightful and I would recommend her to anyone.
