Overcoming personal tragedy and surviving extreme adversity, motivational speaker and coach Richard McCann transformed his pain and suffering into purposeful change. This shift meant that for almost two decades now Richard has empowered people with his iCan philosophy enabling them to chart their own paths from darkness to purpose, to overcome challenges and to unleash their own potential.

 

Delivering over 3000 presentations worldwide on resilience, determination, responsibility and change, Richard sees a world full of walking miracles where the possibilities are limitless. Two constant threads have played and continue to play key roles in activating his purpose: one is he believes in serendipitous moments or encounters and the other is he continuously takes purpose-driven brave steps.

 

KEY TAKEAWAY

If I can get through those challenges, and quite frankly go on to achieve far more than I ever thought possible particularly in my younger years, if I can, then you, your loved ones and your colleagues can too.”
