“I was immersed in an environment with extraordinary people who do not settle for less than they could be. I was made to feel safe and included from the first day. And I experienced such great coaching from Rich that it really left a mark on me. I went from fear to power and authenticity. From withholding to sharing and opening up. I heard my voice again. The experience of being coached by Rich was so enriching. It deeply touched me, as it was for the first time I really saw and felt how it is to coach from a place of authentic compassion and love for people. I understood that intellectually but I’d never really experienced it until meeting Rich. I saw for Rich it was not just coaching, but really loving what you do and doing it with great care for people, keeping them safe enough and challenging them in the same time, with compassion. What a great level of coaching and mastery from the inside-out. And the years of dedication and sacrifice it took to get there. It’s the excellence level and the dedication that I immediately felt and have nothing but huge appreciation for it. So glad that I could experience it, as now I really have a real standard to strive for. Thank you Rich, for showing that energy, in me.”
