Rick seeks to coach people interested in finding their Passionate, Joyful Purpose in life through the use of processes and experiences that help them transcend blocks and barriers to living the life they were meant to live! A big part of growth is developing Emotional Intelligence (EQ)- the capacity to know what I am feeling, what the messages of those feelings are and the capacity to fluidly move between and deal effectively with feelings. Rick believes that all people deserve access to their passionate, heartfull, soulful aliveness, which leads to a fulfilling, satisfying, blissful and purpose driven life.
