What Clients Have Said
I had the opportunity to work with Richard twice on a Strategic Plan and again on a Board Governance project. Richard brought in the type of expertise, knowledge, and creativity that allowed us to have a high degree of successful planning in both situations. Richard and I spent a lot of time together working on those two projects and have the highest praise for his work in both. He is excellent with both staff and volunteers in navigating strategy and direction for, in this case, the YMCA of Austin. I highly recommend Richard! —Jim, VP Strategic Planning and Governance, Consultant
Richard epitomizes strategic leadership, grounded in community, able to bring together people of all fields, experiences, leadership levels, and walks of life, and guide towards common goals, outcomes, objectives, and impact. Richard is an expert facilitator, coach, mentor, trainer, and more. His forethought, courageous leadership, and tenacious diligence are the reasons for much of our DEIB work across our federated movement. Richard is an excellent listener, compassionate leader, and dynamic thinker. Would highly recommend Richard for any team, project, or organization! —Chad, Senior Vice President, Strategy and Equity
