Testimonials for Dr Ric Charlesworth AO

Ric was well prepared!  Engaging and insightful. Our audience was captured.
South Australian Cricket Association

Your presentation on the work that needs to be done to develop supervisors into leaders was excellent.  The “team” message was well made and all the more practical and realistic as a result of your ability to draw on your own experience in the sporting world.
Minerals Council of Australia

There are few certainties in life and success in our chosen field is not one of them.  Richard Charlesworth knows how to turn the ‘art of the possible’ into the ‘art of the probable’ and dramatically increase the chances of getting to the top.
British Airways

The day was definitely one of the most memorable launches that we have had and your part was certainly instrumental to the success of the event.  The insight you provided into your playing and coaching career and the links that you made from these experiences to our competition were particularly valuable.
Australian Cricket Board

Excellent. Outstanding, many lessons for managers trying to improve their teams performance.

Your speech here a year ago offered us some insight into the dedication and discipline required to achieve goals. In Sydney, and in all that led up to it, that’s a talk you well and truly walked.
University of Melbourne

I recall your words to Westpac’s senior management team, and I quoted you often in impressing upon bank staff what was required in running a winning effort
Stanford Graduate School of Business, Stanford California

You certainly are in inspiration. It was inspiring to have you with us and hear what you say. You could feel the difference the following week throughout the Company – the move to greater unity and getting on with the job.

..such an interesting motivational speaker. Those present appreciated your anecdotes and understood the comparisons you drew between the business and sporting worlds. I am sure that we can all learn from your meanings behind the ‘Tragedy’ mnemonic.
WA President
BHP Iron Ore

Thank you for an outstanding presentation.  To address us for nearly 1 ½ hours and to be able to hear a pin drop during the entire presentation, not only illustrates a remarkable presentation style but content of enormous interest which translate well to retail manager settings and achieving their business goals…I appreciate the time and effort you put in to deliver another Gold Medal performance.

Ric’s presentation was relaxed, interesting and appealed to most of the people at our dinner function.
Dept of Consumer & Employment Protection

Ric hit the mark perfectly for a senior executive group. His presentation which focused on high performance teams was informative andinstructive with a the right balance of humor. His approach to achieving high performance on the sporting field translates so well to team environments in the corporate world. He is one of a relatively few in the sporting arena we believe effectively bridges this divide.
IMA
