From the first minute you talk to him, you’ll realize that he’s as genuinely involved in the success of your event as you are. He wants to see your event, your team, and your company shine. You should only book Rich if you want people complimenting your event way after it’s done.

As a marketing executive and thought leader, Rich understands the power of promotion. With his non-diva attitude in permanent lock, he wants to celebrate your event as much as you do and is ready to help. Through pre-event content creation and marketing, he wants to add bonus power to your team, thrill your clients, and dazzle your audience.

Through his work in multimedia production, television, and presentation consulting, Rich understands how the right (or wrong) visuals can impact a presentation. While slides with hundreds of words are compelling (insert sarcasm here) Rich brings a minimal approach to his design and incorporates images, videos, and content that pack a punch and tell a story.

The best stories we hear do three things: they resonate with us, they stick with us, and they move us emotionally. As a person of a million stories, Rich is an impactful and engaging storyteller who will have your attendees nodding their heads, laughing, and moved from the inside out.

For this reason, through pre-planning calls, research on your company, and weaving in your specific company lingo to stay as close to your brand as humanly possible. Your audience will often wonder if he’s actually a member of the company.

Keynotes and presentations are fantastic energy lifters, like a comedy show makes you laugh for an hour. However, like comedy shows, sometimes the next day, the messages are lost and the audience is back in their routine. Not only does Rich provide actionable takeaways that can be put in place the moment the presentation is done, but also provides follow-up content to keep the message top of mind (comedy sometimes included).

A great event always includes someone who can move you, make you think, and have you leaving the experience wanting to make positive change. Having been born with a passion for engaging and entertaining, Rich’s focus is making sure every single person feels a part of the conversation and feels empowered to improve.

A recognized expert on emotional intelligence and goal-achievement and a Professor of Leadership, Rich will combine his insights with captivating storytelling to move your audience to excellence.
