Richard Payne

Richard arrived into the world with some serious physical struggles. However being deaf didn't interfere with his love for his family. Born into a family of 8 kids and some character filled animals, Richard never fell short of something to do. However, school was not so easy..his difficulties in hearing and learning were far from catered for, totally misinterpreted, and he was branded a delinquent. After Year Eight, Richard was out in the workforce gaining a first hand understanding of how the world really operates and some of the shady characters that went with it. The extraordinary thing about Richard is that his inability to hear allowed him to harness his observation skills of people. He went on to use these skill to create an incredibly successful business life. If all that wasn't enough of a physical challenge he then decided to swim the English Channel and managed to complete it in just under 23 hours. Who does that?!? Amazing .. Richard is the founder of "Knightowl". Very pointed and effective coaching sessions and motivational presentations can be arranged through www.knightowl.com.au.
