Richard is a workshop leader and coach with Personal Best. He is passionate about personal productivity and has been using his flair for public speaking for over 10 years. He enjoys helping his clients make their lives more productive and less stressful, creating time and space for them to do their best work.

Richard joined Personal Best from the UK civil service where he quickly achieved promotion from the Fast Stream graduate programme. He gained a wide variety of experience in posts including private secretary to two cabinet ministers, strategy manager on high-speed rail and working in transport security.

While there he learned about a personal productivity approach that helped him achieve great results more quickly and easily. He was so enthused by the effects that he decided to make productivity training his career.

Richard is a keen traveller and reluctant DIYer (his home has 'potential'). He speaks French but enjoys talking in any language.

Richard says: "I love seeing clients walk away from a session with fire in their eyes, feeling in control and with renewed enthusiasm for making progress on the things that matter. Even better is when they report back on the improvements in productivity and peace of mind they have experienced as a result. I get to help make people's lives better in very tangible ways, and for me that's a great job."
