"Richard is an exceptional motivational speaker, especially on the subject of networking and building business relationships. He is an expert because he has actually spent the past 40 years building a network of business relationships that boggles the mind. He is able to articulate the principles of accomplishing these universal goals in an effective and entertaining way that rivets attention. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

…there was a moment during your presentation….too subtle to detect….when you transitioned from Professional Speaker to intimate story teller.  Your audience, young and old, leaned in, listened intently to every word.  That was a remarkable testament to the relevance of your words of advice.  I dare say that you change the trajectory of more than one life in that room….
