About Richard Newman - Best-selling Author, Speaker on Communication and Leadership:
At 16 years old, Richard Newman was a shy introvert with a fear of speaking, who struggled to join conversations, let alone inspire people.
Today, he stands on stages from LA to Paris and Bangkok, empowering audiences like yours to turn their ideas into impact through storytelling and communication.
He’s the author of two books, You Were Born to Speak and Lift Your Impact, and the Founder and CEO of BodyTalk, a multimillion-dollar global coaching consultancy that has trained over 150,000 people. His scientific research on communication is published in the peer-reviewed journal Psychology.
His journey to becoming a communication expert and keynote speaker has taken him through living in a Tibetan monastery where he and the monks could only communicate non-verbally, studying 200+ books on communication, and training at the leading drama school in the UK. He then founded BodyTalk, leading his expert coaching team for over 25 years.
