Richard Champion is a respected Australian media personality, AFL commentator and professional speaker with more than two decades entertaining and inspiring audiences across television, radio and the corporate stage.

Following his AFL career with the Brisbane Bears and Brisbane Lions, Richard transitioned into broadcasting - becoming a familiar face on Channel Seven programs including The Great South East and Creek to Coast, and a respected voice calling AFL matches for Triple M.

Known affectionately as "Champs," Richard built his media reputation on authenticity, humour and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. These same qualities have made him a sought-after MC, keynote speaker and communication coach for corporate events throughout Australia.

Drawing on lessons from elite sport, live television and decades on stage, Richard helps leaders and teams become more confident communicators.

His presentations explore:

  • Practical techniques for engaging any audience
  • Building trust and delivering messages with impact
  • Developing the confidence to speak up in any environment
  • Communicating authentically - as a leader, a colleague, a presenter

Blending humour, storytelling and real-world insight from the locker room to the television studio - Richard's presentations are as entertaining as they are practical.

Richard first came into contact with the Jetts Network in 2013 as the Master of Ceremonies for our National Conference in Fiji. Based on the success of our 2013 Conference we reengaged Richard the following year for our National Conference on Hamilton Island. On both occasions we were delighted with Richard’s effort, in particular the way in which he engaged with our 300+ strong audience. Richard was always well prepared and he was confident and humorous with his delivery. Of particular note was the way in which Richard became part of the Jetts family over the course of the Conference as he took an interest in our business and our people. Richard took on board what we were trying to achieve with our Conference and worked as an integral part of our team as he linked content and sessions and provided the flow and energy to inspire our audience.
