My coaching journey - and yours - begins within. I help leaders discover who they truly are, what they’re called to build, and how to bring that identity into the world. This isn’t about quick wins or empty hustle. It’s about becoming - and building - what lasts.
As a full-time Executive Life Coach with a Master’s in Executive Coaching and Organizational Consulting, I partner with professionals and leaders navigating a rapidly changing world. My focus isn’t just on strategies - it’s on who you’re becoming as you lead. I bring clarity, strength, and character-based insight that deepens emotional intelligence and expands your capacity to lead with integrity.
With over 27 years of experience across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, I’ve served as a trusted advisor to brands, business leaders, and community-builders alike. Whether guiding executive teams or facilitating relational growth groups, my mission remains the same: to help people grow in ways that last - and lead others to do the same.
There’s talent everywhere - sometimes hidden in plain sight. Often, what’s truest and most powerful within us gets buried under a pile of “shoulds” and “ought to’s.” We chase expectations, polish personas, or perform for approval and in the process, lose sight of who we really are.
My job as a coach is to expand your field of vision - to help you see the gifts, strengths, and calling already present, even if they’ve been dormant or dismissed. This isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about enhancing what’s most true about you.
I’ve walked this journey myself. I know what it’s like to come to the end of ought-self living and step into freedom. There’s nothing quite like the moment you can say, “This is the real me.”
Richard serves as a Culture Champion within Zeteo Community - a restorative residential organization for women and children healing from human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
As part of this mission, Richard helps shape the heart of the culture by equipping staff, volunteers, and participants with the tools to heal, grow, and rediscover their Imago Dei - their God-given identity and value.
His work at Zeteo is not separate from his coaching — it’s an extension of it. It’s where transformation, redemption, and leadership meet real life.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. But if something in you knows it’s time — schedule a call. I’m here.
