ABOUT RICHARD MCCANN

No one ever said that life would be easy, and Richard McCann knows a thing or two about adversity.

On a cold and misty morning in October 1975, Richard, aged 5 woke up to discover that his mother was gone. She was the first victim of the notorious Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe..

His life changed forever. This tragedy was to trigger decades of deprivation, abuse, pain, suicide pacts, drugs, prison and a lost childhood until Richard decided to step up and that he
would change his life. The first step was the write Just A Boy which knocked Robbie Williams' biography off the number one spot in 2005 and went on to sell almost 400 000 copies and has been translated around the world.

The series of steps that took Richard from where he was as a frightened 6 year old, to the powerful and inspirational speaker he is today, are what makes his seminars and workshops such powerful tools for change.  Focussing on the key strategies that helped him to grow beyond just surviving and create the life he wanted, has enabled Richard to create inspirational presentations on Change, Challenge and Leadership which will give your team the fuel to make life-changing decisions and create an iCan culture within your organisation.

Richard McCann was approached by our organization to deliver a 45 minute speech to a group of business professionals. The group were meeting to discuss, share ideas and learn new information about goal planning, personal efficiency and self awareness. Richard's aim was to inspire the audience into looking at their lives in a different perspective. Some of the feedback we received from delegates included:

Asked some very powerful questions that questioned our own untapped potential.

A powerful, very moving story. Inspiring, a positive thinker with excellent speaking skills.

The most inspiring and moving talk that I have been to for years.

Linking his experiences to a thread of techniques that we can use was very useful. We were delighted with Richard's professional approach,we were also impressed by his willingness to talk with the attendees after the event. We hope that Richard will work with us again.
