Richard considers both speaking opportunities and specific institutional consultancy, including staff development, sensitive to time and place. He has extensive experience both in the UK and overseas in these arenas, as noted in smaller print below. Next are examples of what people have said about Richard’s recent engagements.
" Great sense of what science tells us about human nature and our collective predicament, combined with realistic vision for changes in our priorities on several key fronts. I would go anywhere to hear him."
"Big picture material laid out with calm precision, with Toffler's 1970 Future Shock now upon us. In a moving wake-up call for radically new forms of leadership, Richard expressed what many people fear: a progressive decline of reliable human bonds and social trust that accountancy-based managerialism cannot fix. If not addressed preventatively, drawing upon holistic values and truths to permeate and revitalise educational, health and social policy, serious social unrest becomes ever more likely.”
" Finely articulated analysis of social and psychological trends and their implications for policy at many levels. Well worth the 5 hours round trip to hear this."
"Although with hindsight we gave you insufficient space to introduce your thoughts on youth in society, the feedback is very enthusiastic. The evaluation survey overwhelmingly showed that your message of building relationships was the most stimulating aspect of the day, with a definite demand for more. Your detour into this relatively isolated rural area was greatly welcomed and will have real long term implications."
"The Children's Commissioner has received very positive unsolicited feedback concerning the study day with child care and development professionals. Your style, including creative prompts was excellent and certainly engaged and stimulated those present".
" The interdisciplinary presentation and measured response to questions showed a remarkable grip on key issues that relate to our situation. Many people's hearts were touched and inspired".
"Your wise, engaging and humane contribution to our adult education programme was terrific. It was very special to have you, and feedback has been extremely positive".
