Richard McCann on presenting
International speaker, Richard McCann, talks about his life story and how teachers and business leaders inspired his career on the world stage.
On a cold and misty morning in October 1975, Richard McCann woke to discover his mother was missing. He was just five years old. She was the first victim of the notorious Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe.
Despite other tragic losses, and a period of dabbling with drugs and prison, Richard decided to turn his life around. He grew to become a motivational speaker and loving family man, with a film of his life in development. Today, Richard has delivered over 2,000 presentations around the world, inspiring audiences with his story of overcoming adversity, and provides training for individuals and teams to enhance their presentation skills and communicate authentically and with confidence.
Following Richard's presentation at World of Learning, Learning News asked Richard to share some of what he has learned about presenting and about his own, personal and inspirational story.
