About Rick
Resilience, clarity, and communication—when it matters most.
People come to me when…
…they’re in great need—to find their way through adversity and discover how to turn it for good.
I work with leaders, organizations, and individuals who are navigating pressure, pain, or pivotal change—and who want more than tactics. They want steadiness, clarity, and a way forward that stays true to who they are.
Why This Work Exists
PLAN TO BE YOUR BEST exists to meet people in those moments—not to tell them what to do, but to help them reconnect with their strength, their judgment, and their capacity to lead themselves and others well.
This work is rooted in a simple belief:
When people become grounded and whole enough to navigate their own adversity, they naturally become steadier presences for others.
Resilience, in this sense, is not just personal. It’s generative.
Who I Am Today
But more precisely, I am someone people turn to when:
- The pressure is high
- The path is unclear
- And how they show up next truly matters
I help people slow down just enough to regain clarity—so they can move forward with intention, confidence, and integrity.
The Journey That Shaped the Work
One is professional:
For decades, I advised leaders and organizations—from healthcare systems to international brands—on strategy, communication, and change. I’ve facilitated hundreds of leadership sessions, retreats, and high-stakes conversations where clarity and trust were essential.
The other is personal:
I’ve lived with chronic pain for most of my adult life. A football injury led to seven knee surgeries and ongoing physical trauma. Pain has been a constant companion—sometimes quiet, sometimes consuming.
Rather than separate these experiences, I learned to integrate them.
Pain taught me how people actually think, decide, and communicate under strain. Leadership taught me how clarity and steadiness can change outcomes—not just strategies.
PLAN TO BE YOUR BEST was born at the intersection of those two paths.
What I Help People Do
Across all the work I do—whether with executives, organizations, or individuals—the aim is the same:
- Regain clarity when things feel overwhelming
- Stay aligned to who you are under pressure
- Communicate in ways that build trust and momentum
- Move forward without losing yourself
The frameworks are practical. The work is human. And the outcomes extend beyond the moment—because resilience that lasts tends to multiply.
Community Is Not an Add-On
Over time, these spaces become places where strength is restored—and where people rediscover their capacity to support others.
An Invitation
I’d welcome a conversation.
Not a pitch. A place to think, breathe, and be heard.
