I cannot express how engaging , informative and enjoyable the Story Telling training was with Richard. He really taps into your personality and ability and guides you to deliver your “story” with the enthusiasm, structure, and delivery it deserves. His supportive and positive attitude really helps you to progress very quickly. Highly recommend this course. Paula Short
I attended The Art of High Impact Storytelling with Richard, having previously attended an iCan Speak Bootcamp. My motivation for attending is I wanted to become a better presenter and public/motivational speaker. I have not only benefitted from that but also developed and more intuitive understanding of who I am and what I need to do. This is down to Richard. His story is compelling and inspiring, but it is also much more than his story, it is the story behind the story. Richard delivers an outstanding, highly motivational story and then is able to teach and motivate how to deliver your own story in such way I have not experienced in my career. I judge clients/customers on how many times they buy from you, I have bought Richard twice and I will buy again. Thanks, Peter Blacklock
I first attended one of Richard's 'ican speak' courses back in Feb 2016 following a strong recommendation from a colleague whose presenting skills I'd seen develop substantially over a short period of time. Unlike presentation skills courses I'd attended previously (provided internally by former employers), I found the format and content, along with Richards abundant enthusiasm, encouragement and support, to be a breath of fresh air. I left with a renewed confidence in my own abilities and have been happy to recommend the course to a number of contacts since. I was therefore delighted to have the opportunity to spend another day with Richard recently (June 2017) refining these skills further; with a particular focus on the art and power of storytelling when presenting. The concepts discussed and practiced during the day, in a safe environment and with Richards usual support and insight, brought a whole new dynamic on how to get your message across in the most effective way. I thoroughly enjoyed the event and left with a host of new ideas, tools, and techniques that I intend to put into practice. Highly recommended for anyone wishing to improve their presenting and communication skills. Ian Jackson Handlesbanken
