Clare Richmond Author

After 15 years working in media marketing, Clare Richmond set up a grassroots regeneration initiative for her local high street. This experience led to a transformation in Clare’s views on effective leadership and demonstrated how, by creating the right conditions and changing the narrative, it’s possible to achieve far more with much less. This success led to consultancy work within communities and public and private sector organisations, helping leaders identify hidden talent and maximise their potential by adopting a more creative and resourceful mindset; The Scavenger Mindset.  

Clare also now works as a coach helping leaders professionally and personally to discover untapped talent within, and, as a speaker, inspires audiences with her can do / will do approach demonstrating you already have what you need to succeed. Her book challenges our thinking on the role of leadership and shows that, with the right mindset, it doesn’t take a lot to make a massive difference. Her passion to unleash hidden talent, bringing more perspectives to the table, gives leaders a new and powerful role, and one that relies less on them ‘being right’ and more on ‘being engaged’.

Clare holds a Master's degree in Creative Leadership, is a qualified coach specialising in behavioural change, an award winning speaker, a Fellow of the RSA, and a single mother of two.
