Richard has a compelling story. His authenticity shines through and he successfully weaves some powerful insights into a dynamic and highly engaging presentation. Peak Teams
We were enthralled with your descriptions of Africa, and felt that we were on the journey with you. The twist that your story takes, and how this impacts on all of us, the decisions we make, consequences – and facing up to these – is a message that is applicable on both a personal and professional level. Platinum Event Solutions
Richard Field was the keynote speaker during the rollout of our Road Services national safety campaign in 2017. He spoke at 7 events to over 3,000 attendees in total. Richard was fantastic to work with. He worked closely with us in the lead up to the events and tailored his content beautifully to link with our key messages. His authenticity, humour and ability to weave a story kept the attendees spellbound. There were times when you could hear a pin drop in an audience of 650 people (mostly road construction workers!). The most impressive aspect of Richard’s talk was his ability to build relevance and connect the message of personal responsibility and safety. It really hit home and his talk was integral to the success of our campaign. We loved having Richard as part of our team! Downer
