I highly recommend anyone interested in improving their career prospects to contact Rikki and enrol in his free Leadership & Performance coaching programme. I have had 1 coaching session with Rikki so far & it was a really interesting discussion. Rikki has a huge wealth of experience & is very much a straight talker. I finished the conversation feeling motivated & inspired. Do not just assume Leadership & Performance coaching is for MD level people or business owners. I would encourage anyone feeling like they want to progress from a manager to a leader to get involved.

When it comes to business Rikki has a wealth of experience from serial entrepreneur to Chief Exec of large organisations. Rikki developed the innovative Thinking Organisation model IOUCHAP. However, what really makes him different from other business advisors is his no-nonsense down to earth style. If you need to move your business forward talk to Rikki.

Rikki has been my business mentor, and an adviser to Inner Flame's trustees, for over a year, having previously volunteered as a guest speaker to inspire young people on our training courses. Rikki is incredibly supportive, and challenging where he needs to be - he addresses issues honestly and directly. He has such a strong and diverse range of experience (highs and lows) that he is always able to add value and bring a different perspective. Rikki has been able to advise, guide and coach me through a challenging time in our organisation's development, and we are now much clearer about our strategy and direction. He has helped us address risks and grow at a manageable rate.

A person who has ‘walked the talk’ it may be an over used phrase but it certainly fits the bill in Rikki’s case, a brilliant motivator, straight talking and always ready for the challenge. The diversity of his experience means that he is able to speak with a lot of authority on a whole host of business platforms and processes. Quite simply if you want the people ‘on the train’ then Rikki is the man for the job

Rikki Hunt created a new local radio station concept. As his launch MD, I worked with Rikki on the live broadcast project, covering sales, marketing, content creation and community interaction. The team we recruited were drawn to working for Rikki due to his can do attitude and successful track record. He was hugely passionate about all aspects of the business, and the local community it served, was unbelievably well connected and became an inspirational chairman.

RIkki has twice spoken at LeaderFest, the conference for leaders I run and each time I found him totally engaging. He speaks with passion, humility and clarity about the real challenges of leadership. He clearly has a wealth of experience and loves sharing it to the benefit of clients and also to improve society. And most importantly for me, he's down to earth and prepared to tell it as it is rather than use clever jargon.

Rikki has a tremendous zest, energy and motivation to succeed allied to an almost encyclopedic knowledge of business and leadership, in terms of developing advanced thinking cultures alongside effective working practice and process. I would have no hesitation in recommending him as a business partner for anyone who is looking to make a difference to their organisation or to enhance a change programme.

Rikki was my professional mentor and we collaborated on a social media project. Rikki is an attentive and unpretentious person, particularly given his immense personal and professional accomplishments. He is always present and engaged during meetings with a true commitment to looking for the best ideas and investing deeply in people. Many will know that Rikki is also the author of a transformational book, 'Creating a Thinking Organisation'. It was designed for senior managers and to enable creative and accountable work practices. In fact, the book does so much more, and has widely influenced my interpersonal ideas and practices.

I have known Rikki for seven or eight years. Recently, Rikki has coached and mentored me through significant work-related change and also in respect of business decision-making, strategising and focus/direction.

Interestingly, through the entire process you feel comfortable and completely at ease because Rikki is skilled, knowledgeable and interesting to talk to. He helps you to find the answers from within. This is a gift he has, which appears to come naturally. Without doubt, Rikki draws out the very best in people - to the mutual benefit of the individual and the organisation. I both respect and admire Rikki and have no hesitation in recommending him most highly to you.

I had the pleasure of meeting Rikki in my time at Swindon Borough Council. He is innovative, forward thinking and has excellent business acumen and a wealth of 'real world' expereince. Not only was Rikki a great help in supporting the achievements I made in Swindon Borough Council, he also offered great advice and support when I was thinking about starting my own business.

I have always found talking to Rikki an enjoyable and thought-provoking experience; and I know that I can always rely on Rikki to give me a different perspective on a business issue I am facing at the time. Sometimes, this can be validation of my own planned approach and sometimes it will turn the situation on its head and allow me to look at it from a different point of view. Always it is useful though.
