Testimonials (2)
  • You need Rich as your next keynote or breakout speaker. I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Rich on numerous speaking events and I am consistently impressed with his level of professionalism and the ease with which he connects with his audience, no matter the size, background or area of interests. He works well with event organizers to ensure he knows their needs and then delivers amazing results to their audience. Rich has so much diversity in his areas of focus that he can address a wide variety of topics with ease. His 27 years of military service serve as a deep well of experience and stories that he leverages to create connection. Rich’s leadership and communication acumen are second to none, and he ties it all together for civilian and government organizations. Bottom line…Rich will deliver the results you are after and add value to your audience. No doubt you will want to have him back and refer him to your network.
