"Rick is a skilled group facilitator, both entertaining and informative. He has an engaging, informal style packed with information. He covers a lot of content in a short time. A strong organizing framework is provided, making it easy for people to follow. Rick's dry wit entertains and engages the audience while making his points. I can recommend Rick most strongly as a speaker and workshop leader. His book is also terrific. Instead of vague and abstract advice, he recommends definite and specific actions which, in my experience, are very effective. I try to use at least one of his ideas every day."
