Autorentext

Richard Tierney is a presentation consultant who has worked with more than 60 of the Fortune 100. He was also a coach to the TED Fellows community. He has 30 years of experience in 30 countries as a business coach, creative director, conference organizer, and media producer in the IT, automotive, and consumer electronics sectors. Despite being a congenital introvert, Tierney presents regularly at industry conferences in Europe and Asia. He is a council member of the Association for Conferences and Events (ACE) and a member the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). Tierney has extensive experience in theater and television and holds professional accreditations from the Royal College of Art and the London Business School. After the publication of The Introverted Presenter in 2015 he was increasingly asked to coach introverts needing presentation help. A change of government in the UK provided funds for universities to encourage entrepreneurism. His work became more involved with start-ups, and he found it naturally matched his experience. Entrepreneurs with a great business idea often lack the full set of skills to bring their idea to market. This work was much more than coaching an ability to "stand and talk" but more the fundamental parts of a nascent business idea.
