Richard Gerver is one of the world’s leading thinkers on human leadership and organisational transformation.

A former globally renowned and life changing school principal, Richard offers a ground-breaking look into how society deals with the challenge of unleashing human potential and embracing and leading change in uncertain times.

Richard’s unique insight into our development from infants to adults helps us to understand the nature of our personal and professional responses to risk, change, creativity, and development. His ability to connect experiences across many, often seemingly different, environments help individuals’ companies and organisations expand their thinking and their own perception of their potential.

Named UK Business Speaker of the Year three times, Richard is the author of several books on change, leadership, and innovation, including bestsellers Change and Simple Thinking. He is also one of LinkedIn Learnings’ most popular contributors, with two best-selling courses, Smart Thinking and Mental Toughness.
