Quite new to Boston Scientific, I got to know Rick during an internal executive program. I was lucky to have him as my personal coach during the year-long curriculum. As we worked together, I observed amazing progress in my leadership capability and style. I became more authentic and inclusive, and I truly learned how to be a mindful listener. Rick is an incredible coach; he is strategic, insightful, innovative, and determined to make a difference. His passion around helping others and his skill in accelerating leadership competencies are remarkable. I would recommend him to anyone who is serious about advancing their leadership skills.

Over the last year, Rick has been an outstanding beacon of guidance and support for my leadership development. He has readily shared from his rich reservoir of experiences as a life/business coach and his arsenal of knowledge tools to help me grow as a leader. As a result, I have a greater understanding of myself and my ability to inspire and lead. I have benefitted from Rick’s invaluable advice in managing through changes in my organization and expanding my assertive influence within the organization. Despite being thousands of miles and time zones away, he has made every meeting feel like we sitting across the table from each other; he has been rock solid in his focus, commitment and support towards my development. Partnering with Rick, over the course of the last year, has been a life changing experience!

Rick’s coaching made a very significant difference in my ability to develop as a leader. He had the insights to help me understand what was inhibiting my growth and then provided me with the feedback, tactics, and guidance to help me transform my leadership. Because our work together, I have been promoted into a much more complex role in my function, and I’m now considered a ready successor for one of the most senior roles of the organization.

As a GM taking over a new organization and site, Rick was invaluable in helping me develop the skills and capabilities I needed to strategically align my team. As a coach he helped me see where and how I needed to evolve as a leader; as a consultant he enabled me to develop an engaged, collaborative, and dedicated work force that is now having a significant business impact on the organization’s growth. His business insights, his emotional intelligence and his coaching expertise have made a lasting difference for me, my direct reports, and my extended team. I’m very thankful for the opportunity of working with him.

Rick has transformed my way of looking at my personal responsibility to my professional development as a leader - anchoring true confidence and ambitions in me. Through invaluable coaching techniques and a mastery of integrated development strategies - Rick has supported me to experiment successfully in the areas of influence and courage. My role as a leader has now truly transformed; I’m now so much more confident and capable; I’m partnering with the most senior leaders of the organization and making a strategic impact. Within fundamental core values that Rick embodies - caring, high performance and integrity - Rick has challenged me to think bigger and broader; each of our interactions has energized me and in each of them I found both the content and the motivation to take risks, to expand my contribution to the business, and to become a more inspiring leader to others.
