Meeting PLanners
Why work with Rich?
Because I’m a nice guy? Because I won’t put you to sleep or insult you by reading a slideshow? Because you want to work with someone who actually implements stuff; just doesn’t come up with ideas? Because every meeting needs some fun?
Yes, all of the above!!
Now go get yourself a latte, a tea, a cocktail, a joint, gummies, or whatever you need to get you through a lot of info about Rich:
- People ask me all the time: “Are you a speaker? A trainer? A facilitator?” I am the RECESSitator. I design and develop custom learning experiences that are fun and will have impact on morale, retention, productivity, ideation, problem solving and general business and personal development. That learning can be done as a keynote, a seminar, a workshop, a retreat, or my newest offering…………………Best Conference Session Ever! I’m ready to RECESSitate your group before they need you to Resuscitate them!
IT Really Is A Lot Of Info
So, enjoy!

What To Expect When Working With Rich!
- Highly interactive sessions where your people will learn, laugh, maybe be humbled a bit; but most importantly walk away with easy to implement ideas

- Time taken to get a good understanding of your audience.
- It’ll be Fun! Pee beforehand!
How much is this going to cost?
- Depends. But please remember that you are not paying for a speech. You are paying for years of experience and countless hours of time working with other clients sharing ideas. So if you email me how much I charge I am going to call you to get to know you, talk about how I can make you look good and be certain I can provide you and your attendees what you are looking for. Then we can talk fee. So if you email, please take my call.
Will There Be Handouts?
- Most handouts end up in a pile……or worse. But some people need handouts. It reminds us of the promises we are “going” to keep. In some cases, a handout will be prepared to best match your organizational needs and interests. You will receive a master copy for duplication. How pretty they are depends on whether you decide to use a color copier or black and white. Prefer to Go Green? No problem. Handouts are primarily provided for visual learners; we’ll ask them to adapt. But also let’s be honest……where are most of the handouts you intended to do something with? There is something better than handouts. Wanna find out???
That’s Great! Can I Steal It?
- I like Plagiarists…………….Feel free to use any quote, idea or article found on my website. All I ask is that you give credit where credit is due and tell the whole world where you found it. Oh and of course when the time comes for you to implement some of the ideas, consider bringing me in help implement it faster, better, easier…..
