Most Keynotes Inspire.
Mine Transform.
I reveal the invisible patterns that control how people think, make decisions, and choose health – then give them a 29-day follow-through system that creates real behavioral transformation, not temporary motivation.
Humans are wired for survival, not change. We resist change even when we want it. And we resist being told what to do… even when we’re the ones telling ourselves what to do!
I show people why they haven’t been able to change, and what must happen internally for a new behavior to stick.
Whether I’m speaking about decision-making or health, the real transformation begins when people stop trying to apply someone else’s advice and start seeing their habits, triggers, and choices through the lens of their own life.
That’s the difference between short-term motivation and behavioral change that lasts a lifetime.
About Me
I’m a speaker, author, and creator of the 29-Day Follow-Through System — a practical, science-based approach that helps people think more clearly, make better decisions, and build better health.
My work blends behavioral science, psychology, and decades of entrepreneurial experience, including creating the bestselling MindTrap® game. Over the years, I’ve seen how smart, capable people fall into predictable patterns that quietly distort their choices and drain their energy, not because they lack intelligence, but because they’ve never been shown what’s really driving their decisions.
My keynotes and daily micro-learning programs reveal those hidden patterns and show people how to break them. Whether the challenge is decision-making, health, or personal clarity, I give teams the tools to replace guesswork with understanding, and replace old habits with choices that actually work.
My goal is simple: to help people see themselves differently… and change what they can do as a result.
Two Keynotes. One Mission.
To help people think more clearly, decide more confidently,
and live with more energy and resilience.
The Silent Killer of Success
How Flawed Decisions Are Draining Your Time, Money, and Opportunities
A powerful keynote that exposes the invisible thinking traps that affect every level of an organization, from front-line employees to senior leadership. Participants discover how assumptions, bias, and false confidence quietly derail progress, and how to make better decisions with clarity and precision.
Health is a Choice...
If You Know How
Why Diets Fail, Energy Drops, and Real Health Starts in the Mind
A liberating keynote that reframes health as a performance advantage – not a willpower challenge. Audiences learn why traditional health advice fails and how small, intelligent choices restore energy, clarity, mood, and resilience.
Why These Keynotes
Work So Well
These talks resonate because they reveal truths people have felt but could never explain… about their thinking, their energy, and their daily habits.
They are simple without being simplistic, insightful without being academic, and practical without being prescriptive.
Organizations choose Richard because his approach is:
- science-based but easy to understand
- relevant to every level of an organization
- non-judgmental and free of assumptions
- transformational, not motivational
- reinforced with daily follow-through so the insight lasts
This is change that doesn’t fade after 48 hours.
Insight That Lasts.
Change That Sticks.
Every keynote includes the option of a 29-day follow-through program; a short daily lesson that reinforces the key concepts until they become part of everyday thinking and behavior.
Two Follow-Through Programs:
- 29 Days to Better Decisions
- 29 Days to Better Health
Each program takes 10 minutes per day, requires no apps or logins, and works on any device.
It’s the bridge between a great keynote and permanent change.
