"Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Richard's background includes work for organizations where he personally led major initiatives in start-up operations, entrepreneurial ventures, strategic planning, team development, program development and organizational change. Part of Richard's effectiveness in working with clients as an outside consultant is a direct result of his experience working within the corporate environment. He understands the pressures, demands and dynamics of each client's corporate culture.

One of Richard's strengths is coaching teams toward peak performance by creating an environment of respect and trust where differences are valued, strengths utilized and barriers to success overcome. As a result of his work, relationships become more honest and energy is focused on achieving results without the distractions of dysfunctional behavior.
