Testimonials for Richard Field

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!

I had the pleasure of meeting Richard earlier this year and from the outset he was engaging, honest and real. It was a great choice to have Richard present his keynote presentation at our staff incentive program in March, which was extremely well received by all attendees. He has a very genuine and humble approach to what is an incredible story of courage, self-awareness and self-responsibility.  He delivered his message with clarity and passion and the worth-while key messages that came from the presentation absolutely resonated with the audience. I look forward to having Richard host a workshop for the upcoming Leadership Forum. He is an inspiring human with an incredible resilience and a wonderful ability to communicate key messages around the power of conscious leadership.

Richard Field shared his powerful keynote “Embracing the Lion" with our leadership team. Richard's great ability to share stories had our team engrossed - we felt we were on safari for real. The key lessons around using personal responsibility as a tool to overcome adversity was powerful and very relevant. He was able to translate his experience to that faced by a corporate leader today and his in-depth knowledge of the safari and his correlation to our business world made the session personally and professionally enriching for everyone.
