Taking Risks - 00:13
When I proposed to Monique after just 10 days, it was a huge leap of faith. As a coach, I see the importance of encouraging clients to take bold steps, even when the timing isn’t perfect.
The Power of Longevity - 01:25
My wife and I have been together for 18 years. In both coaching and life, success is about sticking with it, even when things get tough.
Getting Help - 02:33
Marriage taught me to accept support, and I’ve realized that every coach and client needs a strong support system to reach their full potential.
Shared Values - 03:20
Humor and adventure keep our relationship strong. Having clear values in your business can ground you and help you build a team with the same alignment.
Creating Rituals-04:11
Our family shares daily highlights around the dinner table, a small ritual that makes a big difference. In business, I build similar rituals with my team to keep us connected.
Honesty and Vulnerability-05:19
Monique and I are always truthful with each other, even when it’s uncomfortable. In coaching, honesty is a must for true client transformation.

I loved this Rich, thank you I have an example the other way around, a surprising lesson from coaching applicable in marriage: put aside assumptions and judgments and ask questions instead.

Rich technique is great. His book opened the knot for me exactly where I was stuck. I didn't like the business side of the job and with his wisdom of just coach in any opportunity you get, I managed to build my business.
