Signature Keynote Presentation

‘Making it Happen’

Do you ever wonder why some organisations make it and others don’t? Why one football team consistently triumphs and yet another with similar resource can go years without winning a trophy?  How some people you know always seem to achieve their goals and ambitions…while others plod onwards daily.

Richard will challenge the audience to map out their framework for success, will demonstrate that achieving objectives comes from a structured process of improvement, will explain the importance of a ‘Driving Force’ the need for ‘Desire, Belief and Comitment’.

He will Inspire the audience to ‘Want it more than Ever’ and will demonstrate how the Performance Matrix will become the fulcrum around which a High-Performance Culture is built.

Creating the Magic of Momentum

Did you ever watch a Tug of War event and stop to think why the team with all the Big Blokes on the rope didn’t win? Life isn’t just about who is the biggest, the strongest, the richest…these attributes will not guarantee success in any field….achieving your objectives is a blend of Alignment and Engagement and the tactical deployment of your strategic resources.

Using his experience from business, sport and climbing Richard will share with his audience how to align resource behind strategic intent, how to harness the power of Laser Focus and how Starting with Why creates an environment which unlocks the talent and capability of the workforce.

Communication3

It was George Bernard Shaw who once said, “the problem with Communications…is the Illusion that it has taken place” and yet how many people really invest in developing their communication skills? It is arguably the single most important attribute a leader can have and probably the single most under-invested area of personal development.

Using a technique called Communication3 and reinforcing the need for a heightened sense of situational and contextual awareness, Richard will demonstrate that listening is the cornerstone of communication, how to shape and win the hearts and minds of your audience by using a three stage process, educate, inspire, reinforce and he will explain the importance of ‘what’s in it for me’ touchpoints during the communication process.

Building a High Performance Culture

What attributes define a high performance culture and why is that, even though all organisations and teams strive to create one, only a very elite few manage to get there.  How can you sharpen the focus of your organisational activities to deliver sustainable performance improvement and fasttrack the journey to Excellence.

Using case studies from elite performance organisations, Red Arrows, Team Sky, The All Blacks, Richard will inspire you to think differently about the environment you build, how to use Team 1 as a powerful force, to establish the legacy you want to leave, build trust and commitment through behaviours, culture and purpose. To establish your key Critical Success Factors and ensure that they drive process, focus and competencies.

Success is what happens when…….

Isn’t it funny how successful people are always tagged as being ‘Lucky’. When in reality, they have a set of attributes that few others have and that help them to sustain a level of achievement that appears to others as simply lucky. Gary Player the famous south African golfer once said ‘the more I practice….the luckier I get!!”.

In this session, Richard will demonstrate how using the techniques the All Blacks have developed  in marrying Capability + Behaviour to produce an enduring sporting legacy can be aligned with key attributes from the world of business, Preparation and Opportunity, to deliver a framework for amazing achievement and sustained success.

Creating a Leadership Brand

How much time do you spend thinking and shaping how others see you as a leader? The people in your organization or in your team will make their decisions on whether to follow, be engaged or be inspired by your leadership based almost entirely on what they see and perceive your leadership brand to be…and yet few leaders invest time and energy on trying to shape the perception.

In this session, Richard will demonstrate that Transactional and Transformational leadership styles both work, he will hold a mirror to your face so you can see yourselves as others see you and will inspire you to add value not work. This session will leave you equipped to develop a leadership style and create an environment where your team will flourish and deliver amazing results.
