Richard brings calm, confidence, and perspective into my career. As an architect, I was not trained on how to manage people but Richard’s training has provided me with methods on how to approach almost any interaction I have whether it’s within or outside of our firm. Richard is easy to talk to and I always walk away from our conversations with a guided solution to whatever challenge I may be dealing with at the time and more importantly, I walk away feeling inspired.

Over the past six years, Soundboard Consulting Group has cultivated a strong sense of corporate accountability that has empowered and reinvigorated our firm. Personally, I attribute much of my effectiveness to the regular mentorship and invaluable insights into collaborative leadership and effective communication that Richard has provided. I deeply value the time spent with Richard and eagerly anticipate our conversations, which consistently foster my personal growth.

"HLZAE has been partnering with Soundboard Consulting for over a decade to support our company's growth and development. Richard’s expert coaching has been instrumental in developing our management and leadership capabilities, which was crucial to improving culture and employee engagement while increasing our capacity and profitability. One notable achievement was the successful implementation, and subsequent evolution, of a performance management system, which was directly influenced by Soundboard Consulting's guidance. We highly recommend Soundboard Consulting to any organization seeking to enhance its leadership and achieve long-term success."

"I have been working with Richard for over 20 years and the biggest strength I see in him is the authenticity he brings to every conversation we have. His positive attitude and dedication to my personal growth has left a tremendous impact on me as my journey as a business leader continues to develop. Our conversations go beyond the impact at work, and he has helped me become a better husband, father, friend and human being."

Working with Rich these past few years has been a wonderful opportunity for both my personal and professional growth.  I fondly refer to Rich as my “career management therapist”. One of Rich’s greatest strengths is his ability to not only communicate, but actively LEVEL 4 listen when I am discussing challenges faced in my career – his advice is invaluable. His guidance in addressing “pinch points” as well as “out of the box” thinking has truly changed both my mindset and management style when dealing with conflict – not only has it allowed me to resolve conflicts quickly and effectively, but it has also given me back valuable time to focus on my career advancement, instead of living with the mental burden associated with “in the box” thinking or “crunches”.   If anyone reading this statement doesn’t understand these phrases, reach out to Rich and he will happily refer you to the necessary resources – they (and he) will change your success story.

This impacted by ability to build and sell multiple companies. Richard has been with me every step of the way and continues to be the voice of reason as I continue to grow as a leader."
