After building and successfully selling his health care business to a national healthcare company, Corphealth, Richard moved into their senior leadership ranks where he assisted them in a turnaround endeavor by developing award winning programs in behavioral health and wellness that led Corphealth to be acquired by Humana Healthcare. From there, Richard was recruited to one of the nation’s largest healthcare systems at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center where he was on a leadership team that doubled their revenue in a 5-year period from $750 million to $1.5b.
After 12 years of corporate work, he decided to return to solopreneurship and opened his own corporate consulting practice focused on executive and leadership coaching and where he has worked with national and international clients.
Richard has written over 30 professional articles and has been quoted in the New York Times, Forbes and Fortune magazine. Richard has written three books. His first was part of the National How to Get A Job in (name your city). In 2016, he wrote The Resilience Advantage which changed the way people think about stress and their ability to respond to it. His newest book, co-written with Michael Couch, and just released in 2020, is Strategy Driven Leadership which discusses the failures of leadership development programs in corporate America and how organizations can effectively develop the next generation of leaders.
