Keynote Description

The Science of Personal Impact

The ability to engage and influence others is critical to success, but how can we adapt our style to effectively communicate with anyone we meet in business?

Richard’s unique research proves that simple changes to non-verbal behavior can immediately convince 42% more people and increase leadership ratings by 44% without changing anything we say. We just need to know which behaviors to change.

Using simple, science-based techniques, anyone can elevate their presence and increase how confident, knowledgeable, and influential they are in every situation.

Sharing insights from his peer-reviewed scientific study, Richard demonstrates how mastering communication increases our credibility, authority, and influence. Full of interactive, practical activities, this transformative keynote equips audiences with advanced body language and vocal techniques that will help them inspire, lead, and motivate others with greater impact than ever before.

This keynote is perfect for leaders and teams who:

  • Struggle to gain the respect and reactions they want when they’re speaking
  • Don’t feel heard or are finding that their voice and ideas get crowded out, ignored, or rejected
  • Want to improve their impact but worry that they aren’t a “natural” speaker
  • Can engage some people some of the time, but lack the tools to flex their style to influence a wider audience in different business settings

The audience will leave able to:

  • Convince 42% more people and increase their leadership ratings by 44% with insights from Richard’s peer-reviewed scientific research
  • Infuse everything they say with gravitas, authority, and impact using scientifically proven communication strategies
  • Increase their virtual impact with the same techniques used by broadcast journalists and TV presenters
  • Easily embody executive presence and gain greater respect in daily meetings
  • Create a dynamic style that can flex to the needs of every audience and message, enhancing their presence and impact so that they can connect, lead, and inspire people in any situation
