About Mike Richardson

I am a career executive, CEO and coach/facilitator, having eye-level accountability conversations with the C-Suite to take full ownership of future proofing their businesses, careers and lives, with the agility required for a sense of composed confidence.I have been on a journey of cracking the code of agility for 40 years, revealing insights at the intersection of an unusual combination of deep agility experiences in 3 worlds:• The Real World: I started my career working as a Petroleum Engineer on offshore oil & gas drilling rigs with Shell International.• The Business World: I ran a number of Aerospace hardware and software technology businesses, ending up running the Aerospace Division of a British public company, Spirent plc• The Advisory World: for over 20 years as an author, keynote speaker, facilitator, coach, board member/chair and peer advisory group chair and speaker for CEOs and executives of small-to-medium sized and fast-moving enterprises, companies and corporations.Leveraging insights at the intersection of these experiences and understandings, I distilled the essence of the challenge down to Agile C2C: Conversation-Flow to Cash-Flow. That needs a longer conversation to unpack but essentially, you show me poor cash-flow and I will show you poor conversation-flow! Whether for a business, or a career or a life.All of my activities align with driving agile conversation-flows, with peer groups and advisory boards, as a facilitator, coach, author, speaker, board member/chair and as a global connector in global communities. I love working with REF (formerly Renaissance Executive Forums), the Advisory Board Centre, The Portfolio Collective and The One Advantage.I have been lucky enough to have that feeling many times that everything I ever did was preparation to do this. Whether in a corporate career or a portfolio career, that is a feeling I wish for other professionals which is the focus of all of my work. Facilitating and coaching Boards, CEOs, Executives, and their teams to inflect the trajectory of their conversation-flow professionally and personally, in business and in life, with the agility required to feel a sense of composed confidence in their future. Not least of all, it is likely that it is only "when" not "if" you will have a portfolio phase to your career, sooner or later. Having peer-advisory-groups as the hub of my portfolio business model worked really well for me and I wonder if it could for you too. REF is an innovation leader of what's next in the peer advisory board category, expanding globally.

    Brisbane City, Queensland, Au
    In addition to chairing peer-advisory-groups for many years, I have been involved with many governance and advisory boards as a member and a chair. I often found them to be a mixed experience of conversation-flows, which left a lot to be desired.Yet, in an accelerating world of disruptive change, boards have an increasingly crucial role to play as the top line of driving conversation-flows to be future-proofing a business. With governance boards increasingly mired in regulation, bureaucracy and risk, there is a rising tide of interest in advisory boards as a complement to governance boards. I went looking for the leading proponent of best practice advisory boards.I found the Advisory Board Centre and became a Certified Chair. It is a such a quality community of caliber chairs/advisors, all founded on a research based, best practice framework and platform of resources.-------------------About The Advisory Board Centre:Today's business leaders are striving to find access to current, ground-breaking thinking that can help their business elevate to the next level. They're demanding innovative, cutting-edge business intelligence and strategic insights from the very best minds. They want deep engaged partnerships based on mutual respect and committed two-way support over the long term. That's exactly why the Advisory Board Centre was founded as a Professional Body to enhance best impact for those we serve.

    I took the fork in the road from a corporate career to a portfolio career over 20 years ago, going independent in March 2002. It has been adventurous unfolding journey of evolving and agile conversation-flow to cash-flow, which has been the most enriching phase of my career and life to date. Along the way, I have coached many other professionals to be open to a portfolio career. Of course, in the post-pandemic world there is a groundswell of professionals standing at that fork in the road. I went looking for a community of like-minded people who are considering, pursuing and executing portfolio careers.I found The Portfolio Collective (TPC) and am delighted to have become a founding member/investor. It is such a warm and welcoming community reinventing the future of work, talent matching and collaboration. I love being part of all of those conversation-flows.
