Ric Willmot - The Strategist

"In a growing market like Dubai where trends and competition are on a high level, Ric brought creative ideas to engage over 60 senior public and private sector leaders. Motorola were pleased to have Ric conduct this program and look forward to having him back in Dubai soon!"

Rima Khodr - CEO & Managing Director, ERAM International Dubai

"Ric has been an inspiration to myself and my team. His qualities of being "no nonsense" and a "straight shooter" are qualities I desire in business dealings."

Joseph Kafrouni - Principal, Kafrouni Lawyers

"I have heard many speakers over the years, but never at any time have I witnessed a public speaker getting an encore. "

John Taylor - General Manager, Clickidisc

"Ric is a very effective presenter who gets his innovative message across. Any cost associated with getting to hear him is easily offset by the improvement in your business."

Mike O'Hagan - Owner MiniMovers Pty Ltd, 2003 Queensland Telstra Small Business of the Year

"Ric spoke to our people on two separate occasions, and the response we received from all team members was fantastic. As a direct result of his visits, we are more focused, better at planning and keen to succeed. Without doubt, Ric is one of the most impressive speakers we've ever heard. We have also engaged him in strategic planning with our shareholder directors. The process has already resulted in some very measurable success. We use Ric on an annual basis, both with our team and the directors."

Ken Williamson - Partner, Law Mooney Williamson, Insurance Brokers - Hamilton New Zealand

"Ric has a unique ability in working with people to help them identify and understand their own character and others to enable them to form better working relationships. Ric has the Midas touch in bringing out the potential in all."

Nick McGuire - Economic Development Manager, Beaudesert Shire Council

"Ric Willmot continues to lift our game, so that we kick many successful business goals. His consulting and executive coaching makes us an A-Grade team. Ric is worth every cent."

John A. Gibson - Pacific Star Communications

"I was fortunate to use the services of Ric here at New Hope Coal. Ric was invaluable in this project as his objective and persuasive argument challenged the thinking of our managers. I was also fortunate to witness Ric's mastery in quickly developing rapport with each of our managers, which is not something I have seen from many other consultants. In addition, while it was not part of his brief, Ric assisted me on a personal development level to understand how to deal with some difficult situations that I face from time to time. In this regard, I am confident his "words of wisdom" will stand me in good stead in the future."

Dianne Armbrust - Corporate Compliance & HR Manager, New Hope Coal Australia

"We especially want to thank you for the session you did with our staff. We have already put many of the ideas into practice, with great results. You really did help find fresh ways of dealing with our clients and taking our service to ‘the next level.’ And with lots of ‘bonus’ laughs thrown in! Thanks so much for your help, guidance and expertise. We hope that you can come back to Bundaberg soon – there are many businesses who will benefit from your visit."

Trish Mears - Station Manager, Sea-FM 93.1 Bundaberg

"Ric Willmot is a brilliant speaker. It was our best ever conference; mainly because Ric delivers the highest level of usable content of any speaker we've ever had. And his presentation skills are superb! We will have him back in New York again very soon."

Barry Hunter - Vice President of Operations, Mutual Life USA

"Your talk to our 32 Regional Sales Managers at our national conference was the most thought provoking, inspirational and motivating session we have experienced in over 11 years! It was a profound learning opportunity where our Sales Managers gained the knowledge to increase the results of their individual sales people and business units. Thank you."

Jon Burrows- National Sales Manager, Financial Services

"Wow! Ric is a polished and enthusiastic speaker and what he says makes sense - great sense! He delivered to experienced business leaders with humour and impeccable timing, and incisively went to the heart of business issues - OUCH! - but we were engrossed, AND we asked for more. Ric is inspirational and weaves great stories into his business messages. He is a must to put a spring into the steps of enterprise."

Mahesha Goleby - Underground Systems Design

"Ric has a relaxed and "audience friendly" style of presentation that makes his informative talk easy to assimilate. He adds stories and day to day experiences to further emphasise his wide managerial experience. One can tell from my eleven years of listening to speakers both in Australia and overseas that Ric Willmot is a consummate professional. Ric offers a very professional presentation at a brilliant pace that makes his audience relaxed and able to savour his every word - an excellent speaker and presenter not to be missed if the opportunity arises to be in his audience. "

John Hurd A.I.M.M., Business Excellence Marketing & Promotions

"Ric has delivered a series of seminars for our State Development and Innovation Centre's client base in a powerful and meaningful way, capturing the attention of business owners. He knows his subject so well that in the last session he was able to ask "What business issue or topic do you want me to comment on?" and then proceeded to give the audience wise and practical solutions from his own business experience - I'd forgotten how good it was to see a spontaneous speaker without PowerPoint!
