Richard has delivered talks to community groups and schools to literally thousands of young people. Examples of the endorsements and positive feedback include:
“Thank you so much for last week. The children were totally inspired by you both. Anything else you think you can offer us as resounding YES PLEASE!”
Deborah Pargeter, Head, Lower School
“The feedback that we have received from the pupils during and since the programme has been completely positive and it certainly seems to have inspired many of them to follow their dreams. I would without hesitation recommend this intervention to help build children and young people’s self esteem and encourage them to focus on their hopes and dreams for the future.”
John Spurling, Deputy Head Teacher, Middle School
“Students related to the concept that your future doesn't have to follow what you've done in the past. There was also the message that we should give something back to society. We can already see the difference in the behaviour and attitudes of some of our previously disengaged students so many thanks for that. Very inspiring!”
Anne Wareham, Head of year, Upper School
