Passion to Performance - Being the best we can be
A practical and inspiring talk on how to turn the passion that we have for our roles, businesses or organisations into a performance that will deliver the outcomes that we originally intended.
The talk outlines strategies for accessing a positive resourceful state on demand, how to communicate effectively and how to learn from our experiences to drive our performance
See Richard live in Sydney speaking about how reconnecting with our vision can help us access a positive resourceful state and provide us with perspective, clarity and motivation on demand
Developing and Attracting Business
A powerful and motivating talk providing practical advice for people looking to become more effective at developing business. Whether you are working in your own business or employed in a sales and business development role the talk will provide your audience with practical content and the inspiration to use it.
Maximising your investment as an Exhibitor
Exhibiting at exhibitions and conferences is a powerful business development opportunity.
It allows you to engage significant numbers of your audience in one location over two to three days. Unfortunately so often exhibitors waste the opportunity they have invested significant time, money and effort in. When the audience you have paid to engage with is walking past your stand, why on earth would you be sitting down reading your emails, talking to your colleagues and displaying a body language that says “I don’t really want to be here, my boss sent me!”.
In this engaging and practical session, Richard outlines how to maximise your ROI on your next exhibition including the importance of planning, effective verbal and non verbal communication, developing an effective elevator statement and how to enhance the visitor experience.
How to Attract More Sponsors
A power packed journey through the key stages of the sponsorship seeking process, providing case studies and practical advice to help you secure more sponsors.
