As a coach Rich has added value in a number of ways, but most importantly it has been in his ability to bring sharp focus to individuals' own unique strengths and goals, and to help them set priorities and be accountable for them in fair ways. His single greatest professional strength is in how he can, with little To no advance research or preparation, incisively help you discover your goals and motivations, and help direct the conversation or project in such a way that is mutually beneficial almost instantly.

Rich added value by working with me on specific goals and discussing the steps I need to take to meet these goals. I also found the initial exercises on developing goals and a mission statement was extremely valuable in providing the foundation for the later efforts.
Testimonial
His greatest strength professionally is his understanding of the client's strengths and weaknesses; building on the strengths and minimizing the weaknesses. He demonstrates considerable empathy while not allowing them excuses for not succeeding in their goals.
Testimonial
His greatest strengths are the encouragement and positive feedback he gives. Sometimes I think he is more excited about things than I am. I definitely need that feedback as I doubt myself too often.

When I hired Rich as a coach I was in a rut. I serve in leadership roles in numerous areas of my life, but increasingly I was not enjoying my work. Through coaching I had a chance to look at what was important to me all over again. I prioritized my life to make sure I was doing the important things again. These insights helped me renegotiate my professional life to better reflect my personal values. Now I am doing important work that I love.

I so appreciate how Rich adds value to my life and my network. Indeed, he under promises and over delivers. He gives voice to the voiceless clients and coaches who need meaningful assistance to live achieve their "callings" and purpose.

Rich is direct and thoughtful and supportive of my creating a more balanced life. After about 4 sessions, he is already having an impact!!! He is a Covey trainer and uses some of their exercises along with his own experience to push me into more planning and less reactive administering. The time I take with him helps me be a more effective executive director.

I'm finally doing the things that for years I said I would do, but never had the discipline to make life habits. I'm eating right, exercising right, doing right by the ones I care about, and, perhaps most importanty, seeing work in its proper life context.
Rich knows how to take those vague and fuzzy spiritual yearnings and turn them into goals, targets, steps and realities -- realities that give energy to my more earthly ambitions.
Just as a trainer at the gym motivates and pushes you to make the most of your time -- even when you have a million excuses not to work out, life coaching gives you the guidance, the encouragenment and accountability that ultimately gives harvest to fields of one's life that for years lain fallow. I'm finally doing what's required with the much I've been given, keeping promises to myself, and living life with fewer regrets.
The most important thing I've accomplished with Rich's coaching is an informed ability to consider and strategize my desires and responsibilities
Rich's coaching process helped me refocus my everyday life around the goals I wanted to achieve and the values I wanted to live.
Rich has a great deal of wisdom, its almost like he is predicting the future of what is going to happen in your life, but I have grown to realize that his advice is based on an array of experiences and knowledge which he then applies to his coaching. The power to take what you know and apply it at the appropriate time is true Wisdom and Great skill that his does very well. I truly appreciate the coaching, but just as important I value and appreciate him for demonstrating a process of how to apply wisdom to both my personal and professional life to be effective. Thanks so much Rich.
Rich's coaching style with me has been a great combination of letting me figure things out for myself, and verbalizing directly and honestly the way that I have approached different types of situations. I've appreciated his straightforward style in helping challenge and push me to reach my potential.
I feel better having Rich around. Finding ones way through life is such a treacherous journey. Rich has a kindness that touches my soul as we work through my needs. He is non-judgmental which is very important to me because I don't want my imperfections judged.
Without a doubt, working with Rich has enriched my personal and business life. My goal of finding balance in my life was definitely met. Thanks, Rich!
The coaching sessions have helped me to realize what is important to me, and to prioritize my goals - something I had never done before! I feel very fortunate to have Rich as a coach and I look forward to our sessions!
You are rare combination of brains and compassion and I will always be grateful to have been a recipient of both.
