Audience Recommendations

 
Richard spoke to our Waukee APEX students about how Anything is Possible, and the messages that he conveyed were timely and purposeful. I appreciated how he used personal stories to drive home the points that hard work, dedication, perseverance, and attitude can and will help you achieve your goals - both personally and professionally. He is an exceptional speaker that left us all feeling optimistic and uplifted.
— Anna Jordal, Waukee APEX Education and Business Event Manager
 
Richard recently participated in a panel discussion for the New York IABC on Engaging Customers Through Social Media and we were lucky to have him. He brought a unique perspective from his work at Affinitive and his personal experiences on social media. He is a knowledgeable and engaging speaker, was able to complement the other panelists and carry the discussion. I recommend Richard for any sort of speaking engagement.

Richard’s motivational presentations can impact a wide variety of audiences. His style is professional, yet personal. He worked closely with us to make sure he delivered the message we needed. I have known Richard for many years and recommend his services- whether it be to kick off an event, insert motivation into an existing effort, or close out a project with a bang.
