Richard Dunwoody is a former three-time Champion Jockey with a distinguished career in horse racing. He is the only jockey of his generation to win the Big Three National Hunt races and holds the record for 1,874 race wins. In 1993, he was awarded an MBE for his contributions to the sport. Dunwoody has won the King George VI Chase four times and the Grand National twice, and he has been named Jump Jockey of the Year five times.

Outside of racing, Richard actively supports charities. In 2008, he and American explorer Doug Stoup completed a forty-eight-day trek to the South Pole to raise funds, marking the first successful completion of that route on foot in a decade. The following year, he walked the same mile 1,000 times for 1,000 consecutive hours to raise additional funds. In 2017, he undertook a 2,000-mile walk across Japan to support Sarcoma UK.

Richard's experiences in competitive sports and extreme conditions make him a compelling keynote speaker. He shares insights on ambition, mental resilience, and overcoming challenges, addressing achieving success, learning from mistakes, managing fear, and building high-performance teams.
