Richard is a Lead Facilitator with Take Point Training.

With over 34 years of experience in military leadership, Richard served in the British Army with a career that culminated as the UK’s Deputy Military Representative to NATO. 

With operational leadership experience in hostile, high-intensity and challenging environments across the globe, Richard was ideally qualified to lead the British Army’s virtual and constructive command and staff training organisation. His responsibilities also included the training and readiness of the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps, the UK's only corps-level capability.

What leadership means to Richard: 
"Leadership and being entrusted to lead is one of life's greatest responsibilities and privileges. It's about team before self. It's about team endeavour and winning, losing and learning together. It's about unlocking potential, nurturing talent and passing on the baton. It's many things but above all, it's about being your true self and making a positive difference."
