Facilitator Bio Update App
Richard is Director, Co-head of Training at byrne∙dean and is also a member of
the facilitation team. He has been with byrne·dean since 2014.
Richard spent the first 10 years of his legal career as an Employment Lawyer
in private practice. Having spent a significant amount of time dealing with
complex employment litigation cases (and having seen the damage such cases can
inflict on all parties) Richard wanted to help organisations avoid the sort of
risks he was dealing with on a day-to-day basis. Richard therefore joined
byrne·dean in order to support employers and employees at a grass-roots level
through the provision of impactful, through-provoking and powerful training
interventions.
As a Facilitator, Richard creates a warm, engaging and personal style in order
to create a safe training space so that participants feel able to share their
views and engage in honest debate.
Richard has worked closely with global banks, financial services firms,
professional services firms and a range of corporates. He has experience of
running intimate small group sessions as well as very large auditorium style
sessions. Richard is also experienced in running sessions for members of staff
of all levels of seniority, from summer interns to senior board members.
