Richard House

Richard House helps leaders to find answers to three fundamental questions of business communication: “What to say?” “How to say it?” And most crucially: “Who to be?” He helps opinion formers to tell the story behind their brands, their movements or their philosophy in ways that all stakeholders can understand and relate to. Establishing the right public persona, presenting the right narrative, all come down to telling the right story.
