Contact Richard

Every engagement begins with a conversation

Most opportunities, projects and advisory relationships start with a discussion about a challenge, opportunity, idea or decision that matters.

Most of the opportunities, projects and advisory relationships throughout Richard's career have started in much the same way. A conversation.

Not a proposal. Not a presentation. Not a lengthy consulting process. Just a discussion about a challenge, an opportunity, an idea or a decision that matters.

Sometimes the conversation leads nowhere. Sometimes it leads to a board appointment. Sometimes it develops into a long-term advisory relationship. Sometimes it becomes the start of an entirely new venture.

The first step is always the same.

Conversation principles

The first conversation is not a sales pitch.

The useful question is often not “What service do you need?” but “What needs to happen?”

Some conversations lead nowhere. The right ones lead to clarity.

A good conversation can be the beginning of an important outcome.

A conversation rather than a pitch
