“Great workshop and presentation.  When our staff first experienced this seminar in Orlando  they said others in the Siemens Organization need to see it and learn from it.  So we had  Richard put on three workshops for Siemens globally.  We felt the message and seminar should be  experienced not only by Siemens but also with our customers.  He also was our Keynote speaker for Siemens Customer appreciation day.

RICHARD IS A BUSINESS STORYTELLER

 

Richard’s “stories” are a result of his decades of experience in the trenches, including his tenure as the CEO/President of a prominent national regional bank and as the CFO, CSO (Chief Strategy Officer) and CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) of several corporations in manufacturing, real estate, finance, and high tech companies.   As you might guess, these roles and positions provide practical and eye-opening information to draw upon and share in his storytelling.  He always presents his ideas framed in a unified set of tools, enhanced processes, and advanced templates that combine the proven methods and principles into what he calls:  3 R’s:  Roles, Responsibilities and Relationships as they relate to the Goal Patterns, Process Patterns and Technology Patterns of companies that are designed to optimize the value chain and monitor corporate governance and leadership. 

 

CORE PROGRAM THEMES

 

The mainstay of Richard’s keynotes, seminars and coaching is Leadership, transparency and Governance: The art of leading quietly and achieving results!  Leaders lead by example and provide motivation.    People need to know that what they do day-by-day in the trenches is working.  This is the focus of Quiet Leadership.

 

 

“Most Excellent workshop for our people.  Richard was our keynote and kickoff leader for a major new business initiative that involved all aspects of the company globally.  It was the inspiration and leadership we needed to move forward.”
