Learn how to use the science of wellbeing to build better, happier teams.
About me
When I was 18 I had no idea what career I wanted to pursue, all I knew was that I wanted to do something that made me happy. Unfortunately I had no idea what that was. So, I set out on a journey around the world trying to work out the secret.
Forty five countries and twenty years later I realised that for me to be happy I need to make others happy. The more the better. So in 2014 I set up Secret Source, an IT company whose main KPIs were team and client happiness. For eight years I immersed myself in the science and academic research on workplace wellbeing, workplace happiness and team performance and I applied my findings in our company. It was a long journey with many ups and downs but it was worth it. Secret Source is a genuinely special place.
Now, I teach happiness in the workplace: how to use the science of well-being to build better teams - teams that collaborate more effectively, innovate more, and stay together longer.

I was absolutely thrilled to host Richard as he spoke at a Lunch & Learn event about happiness at work. He is experienced and knowledgeable in the field and so offers credible insights and advice. Our public conversation, in front of 200 leaders, was very well received and thoroughly enjoyable. Richard is a naturally grounded speaker who communicates well and connects with his audience. I really hope we’re able to chat again in the future and strongly recommend him as one who can offer excellent insight into leading high-performing teams.
