Dealing with People You Can’t Stand,
How to Bring Out the Best in People at Their Worst

Virtual Educating through Entertainment
by Dr. Rick

 
Two facts became apparent in the first few moments of his presentation to the Oregon Law Institute.. First he mastered the latest scholarship of effective workplace communication ... he grabs the attention of the audience with nonstop humor that illustrates his substantive message.”

with Dr. Rick's

  • World class in-depth content that everyone relates to and can immediately implement

  • And Educating through Entertainment speaking style of storytelling and comedy to laugh while you learn and remember and act on what you learned!


 

WHEN GOING VIRTUAL “travel expenses” are no longer an issue.
That means Trainings can be shorter periods of time and over the course of weeks, making the training;
MORE EFFECTIVE, BUDGET FRIENDLY and EASIER TO SCHEDULE! :-)

TYPES OF TRAINING TO FIT ALL NEEDS AND BUDGETS

LIVE VIRTUAL TRAININGS

It's Not Working!.jpg

I have found these trainings to be EXCEPTIONALLY EFFECTIVE because they are spread out over time. People try out new skills, come back with NEW SUCCESSES and deeper questions and the program is the equivalent of a “full-day” training, all in digestible bites over time.  
I am blown away how good this works!

  • One 3 Hour Session and a 1 hour follow-up two weeks later

  • Two 3 Hour Sessions, 1-3 weeks apart according to your schedule

  • Four 1 Hour Sessions over the course of 4-6 weeks

  • Three 90 minute sessions over 6 weeks.

  • Whatever fits your scheduling and goals! ":-)
