Richard is known as ‘Mr Productivity’ by many of his clients. He is the owner of Attitude Solutions, a specialist training business focused on enabling people to measurably improve the way they manage their critical results and competing priorities within high volume, high velocity workloads.

Richard talks about his journey from Chartered Insurer to Mr. Productivity and how focusing on:

Training. Motivation. Overseas.

took him to Kenya and a change from the normal trajectory of a Chartered Insurer.  He and his wive decided to return to the UK and this led to another change in direction for Richard.  This time he need an extra 5 words to set his path:

Defining Purpose. Deciding Strategy. Defending Priorities. Delivering Results.

His advice throughout and the emphasis on realising who you are and the critical element of sales resonates with me.
