Coach For Your Creativity
I'm a coach, author, musician, photographer, and blogger. I coach individuals, provide consultation, and facilitate groups following a transformational learning cycle. Using intuitive and lateral thinking from writing, music, and photography, I apply over 40 years of personal and business experience to help you capture an idea, prepare a plan, perform what you want to do, and review progress toward the idea that started the process.
Why is this approach right for you? Personal creativity attributes have synergy with guiding principles in creative arts. I apply guiding principles from writing, music, and photography to coach you to enhance your innate creativity beginning with vision.

I coach the whole person for personal fulfillment and career success. When we follow a transformational learning cycle, your knowledge expands as you access your insight to create lasting personal and career growth.

- I support your transformation to fulfill your desires.

Testimonials
Julie, insurance lines manager
I have nothing but positive comments! Importantly, there was trust, honesty and commitment. We developed objectives and understood what the year would mean, we had goals to work on and by the end of the year our understanding of what the mentoring relationship would be was commonly understood between us. More specifically, I learned about our company and myself along the way. It was great that you provided learning opportunities for me in ways I didn’t know existed….we also talked about outside of work committees, interests that could bring different experiences to help me here at work…All these discussions helped to energize me as I was learning!
You were prepared for the meetings we had together, followed up before/after as needed and took an interest in my goals and helped suggest classes I should take. We talked about issues I had, potential ways to approach and I learned ways to think about things differently, which I still use to this day whether it is an issue or about personality.
Cindy, design and construction leader
Richard has recognized and nurtured my need to gain confidence and improve my assertive communication skills by matching me with a female director who has great passion and assertive communication skills….Richard really worked hard at developing a personal connection with me and giving me timely, frequent, informal feedback and that really goes a long way to build my confidence and let me know that I am doing a good job. He has coached me on numerous employee performance issues I have had with my staff. The most significant being the support and coaching he gave me when I had to terminate an employee. That was one of the most challenging thing I have had to do in my career and Richard was there for me.
Anonymous, specialist
Thank you for being my guide to jump start my career development. I did not dream it would have opened so many opportunities to grow. I am grateful that you have given me that chance….Again, thanks for all you do and have done for me….This is what I did with the two recommendations that you gave me today. I am planning on framing them and hanging them in my office at home as a daily reminder to me and my family. I am planning on also using them with the Women’s Ministry at church because these steps and agreements are real to us and we can surely connect with them and use them daily. You are a true inspiration.
