TESTIMONIALS
Richard’s programs have equipped our senior leaders with a suite of essential mindfulness practices and tools that help to build and sustain high performance.
These highly immersive programs have contributed significantly in shifting the dial and enabling our leaders to live a more balanced, integrated life.
Richard is a master in creating and maintaining meaningful connections with our team. He is a valued partner who continues to actively contribute to the wellbeing of our leaders.
In an otherwise hectic schedule, our leaders made it a priority to attend over the 12 weeks, which is a terrific endorsement for the significance of this experience.
We couldn’t be more pleased with the investment we have made in this critical whole of life program, and it has now become a key component of our leadership development offer at Bunnings.

Dr Richard Chambers stands out as an exceptional presenter. He is an incredibly personable and knowledgeable speaker, and for this we have invited him to speak time and time again.
He excels as a keynote speaker and is equally captivating as a workshop moderator.
With his exceptional skills, he has the talent to stimulate critical thinking in the audience and instil a sense of calm in the room.

Jenny Katrivesis
Director, ChilliIQ
As a safety team we have added mindfulness and mental health to our monthly agenda for discussion and have looked at ways to keep it integrated and current with the team. Our sales team are constantly being trained on new ideas, products, etc and things can often lose traction quickly due to the fluid nature of their role.
The fact that the team have driven the behaviours and relevance of the training as much as the leadership team and the fact that their engagement is still so high 6 weeks later is fantastic and the best endorsement I can offer.

Chris Bartlett
Area Sales Manager, Bunnings
Richard’s keynote delivered practical, evidence-based strategies to boost productivity and reduce stress.
