      "Rich is an exceptional talent and one I look to for expert advice on business strategy. In my role as Chair of the Executive Forum Planning Committee for the Health Care Administrator's Association I hired Rich as a keynote speaker for two large conferences. In each event, Rich brought an astute knowledge of strategic thinking to the C-level attendees in the audience, and provided a clear action plan for how they could incorporate these principles into their daily activities to create a competitive advantage. From his content to his delivery, Rich's presentations are impeccable. I have never been more impressed with a keynote speaker."
LynAnn Henderson "Rich is the author of an outstanding book on strategic thinking entitled, Deep Dive. He is extremely knowledgeable on the topic of strategic thinking and has a knack for teaching the fundamentals to others. He is a dynamic speaker who demonstrates key learnings extremely well. Rich has developed a Strategy Vault of Strategic Resources to sustain his training. I have enjoyed working with Rich."
Terry Walsh "Your strategy program was inspiring and right on point. I observed that my team was able to take the concepts and tools you presented and immediately apply them in our meeting. Your practical explanation of some rather intangible concepts made the difference. I honestly believe that all participants left this week as better "strategists" with a clear understanding of how strategic thinking is an ongoing process that, when properly employed, will lead us to the competitive advantage we seek."
Steve Lamb "Thank you for your superb presentation at last week's Society of Human Resource Management National Strategy Conference in Tampa, Florida. For me, it was by far the most memorable, most educational, and most dynamic of all the sessions I attended. You took a complex topic and condensed it into an easy-to-understand and entertaining event—a task not achievable by many. You are a gifted and dynamic teacher and I am thankful to have had the opportunity to sit under your instruction."
Tami R. Spear, SPHR "Thank you for delivering the Keynote Speech at our North American Partner Kickoff Meeting. Your session on Strategic Thinking for Competitive Advantage was entertaining, thought-provoking and yet practical for a large audience of senior executives. It was exactly what we hoped for and was a big hit with the audience."
Bob Palumbo "Rich does an excellent job in assisting individuals throughout various levels of an organization understand that while strategy is a somewhat abstract and intangible concept, there are a variety of tools and methods available to practically apply it to their business. His presentations and workbooks are thoughtfully constructed, understandable and useful in leading a group through a comprehensive and objective analysis of their business that ultimately results in action plans focused on differentiating themselves from the competition. His grasp of the topic of strategy along with a comfortable and upbeat presentation style is effective in facilitating strategic thinking and strategy skills development."
Jerry Casey "Rich is a very effective presenter and focuses on engaging his audience while at the same time challenging them to think differently. The combination of his strategy expertise, ability to tailor a program, and comprehensive set of tools resulted in advancing our organizational competency in strategic thinking."
