“I can’t even list all the ways Rick has helped me. I have seen firsthand the impact he can have on individuals and large teams alike. He has taught me how to lead, how to navigate conversations, how to negotiate, how to highlight my strengths, how to have confidence in my value, and ultimately how to achieve my goals. What makes Rick special is his ability to connect and relate to you—he truly cares about your happiness. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Rick, and I can’t thank him enough for all that he’s done for me. If you are thinking about signing up to work with Rick—do it.”

“Dr. Newman has been one of the most impactful mentors I have had in my personal and professional life. From my first time meeting him, I could feel his honest, earnest, and positive energy. The long-lasting transformation for me has happened simply from him exposing me to resources that can help me understand myself, my motivations, my strengths, and my growth areas. I believe that due to Dr. Newman’s mentorship and hard work, I have received 3 promotions within a 3-year timeframe. I am blessed to have him in my corner.”
