Yet, these skills did not come naturally. Richard was a shy child, an introvert and is autistic. All of this has given him a unique lens on communication. He has dedicated his life to discovering the core principles of successful communication.

Aged 18, Richard went to live in the foothills of the Himalayas with Tibetan monks, who spoke no English. They had to communicate non-verbally to understand each other. He then studied as a professional actor, became a communication coach and keynote speaker. Richard also won the coveted Cicero Grand Prize Award for Best Speechwriter.

Richard’s unique scientific research on non-verbal communication was published in the peer-reviewed journal Psychology. His study proved that you can increase your leadership ratings by 44% by changing a few elements in your communication style.

He is the author of two books, ‘You Were Born To Speak’ and ‘Lift Your Impact’.
