RICHMOND JOHNSON......WATCH OUT FOR HIS INSPIRATIONS

Founder of Richmond Johnson Academy, Richie is an accomplished Master of Ceremonies and an acclaimed international speaker who has delivered several customized keynote presentations, facilitated workshops, seminars and boot camps on effective communication skills and personal development strategies for individuals and organizations whose outcome is determined more by the way they think than how they work.

A radio and television broadcaster by training with further education at Teesside Management School, Middlesbrough, Richie worked at GEC, Newton Aycliffe, County Durham and IBM London before becoming Joint Managing Director of Universal Communications Group and later Deputy Managing Director of The Job Paper, London.
 

He spent 18 months in Norway and Sweden working on a United Nations funded project - Media Empowerment for Africa. In 2004, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce. 

Richie Dayo Johnson is a past and founding president of Speakers of Croydon Toastmasters, immediate past area governor for East Surrey & Kent and a leading associate of Speakers Bank – a national network of professional speakers and trainers. His raison d’être is: “doing things well and exceeding expectations”. Richie believes that “you must be willing to do today what other people will not do in order to have tomorrow what they will not have”. He is also an ardent believer in his late grandmothers aphorism that “No matter how rich or poor, how educated or illiterate, good manners will take you through”
 

He founded the academy on the dictum that there is basic goodness in every one and it is the foundation upon which all other great values can be built. Building a strong personal brand and gliding through life with glowing manners are essential ingredients of extraordinary living.
