Creating Tomorrow's Schools Today
Education is the single most important factor which determines the future for our children, our economy, our society and ultimately our planet.
Richard bridges together his experiences as a former award-winning teacher and globally renowned principal with the insights and strategy gained working as a government policy advisor and board member.
He helps clarify the vision, thinking and processes which must be focused on in order to ensure that we, as teachers, administrators, parents and policymakers alike, can develop a system that prepares our young people for a world-class future.
Richard speaks with precision about exactly what skills, behaviours and attributes our children will need to not only survive but thrive in their futures. His education speeches are noted worldwide for their humour, insight, provocations and practical application.
They mirror his first best-selling book: Creating Tomorrow’s Schools Today.
Change: Leading and Sustaining a Culture of Organisational Change
In this session, Richard explores why change and uncertainty are becoming so challenging for organisations. He examines how risk aversion, a need for safety, security and control can stifle and hamper both individuals and organisations.
Richard argues that we must understand why so many of us develop an aversion to change as we grow and how we must learn to change our mindsets and motivations as a result.
He explains that by focusing on developing our people to accept and embrace change this, in turn, will help organisations create a sustainable culture of development where responsibilities and accountabilities are shared, ideas and momentum can spring from anywhere and where traditional hierarchies morph to facilitate self-leadership and real collaboration.
He explores the power of creativity, curiosity and confidence to understand how to embrace change in uncertain times and why we must shift the paradigm to understand that change is not a program or a strategy but is an ever-present in the organic nature of the 21st Century.

Connecting Caregivers with Healthcare Employers
The dedicated healthcare employment platform transforming the way people search for healthcare candidates.
Finding the right match has never been easier!
Caring Support serves as a central resource for caregivers and healthcare organizations to easily connect and communicate, accelerating and simplifying the hiring process while saving time and money.
The Story Behind the
Caring Support Platform
The Caring Support Platform is the brainchild of a handful of individuals who believed that they could help the healthcare system by providing a platform that matches caregivers (including PSWs, RNs, RPNs, and volunteers) to healthcare organizations.
The idea began as a simple job matching site to help take the stress out of finding a new job. During the COVID-19 outbreak, the need for caregivers by healthcare organizations became very public and clear that something needed to be done. This hit some of the Caring Support team members close to home and they realized that this was the perfect time to create a helping hand
For months, the team put in long hours, all while having other full-time jobs, building the platform in order to roll out the first phase in time for the world to use to help combat COVID-19.
The team focused research and development into a platform that would ensure healthcare organizations can quickly and easily search for healthcare workers using niche fields tailored to location and industry as well as cope with COVID-19. An important aspect that the team wanted to ensure was that the burden of searching for a new job was not placed on the healthcare worker, but instead by letting their profile on the Caring Support platform do all the heavy lifting.
Connecting, streamlining, caring.
