Full Testimonial
“We engaged Richard to lead our organization and Board of Directors through our Strategic Planning process. Richard made a significant effort to work with management to ensure a clear understanding of our organization and complete a comprehensive situational assessment. This information was integrated into two Strategic Planning meetings with our Board and Staff where Richard guided the group through a re-affirmation of our Vision, updating our Mission Statement and re-affirming our Values. Because of this well-established foundation, in the second meeting, we were able to develop sound strategies for the future.

“I should have begun months earlier. My organization has not only met but has already exceeded the interim goals we discussed and, this is six months in.”
Full Testimonial
“Last year I was introduced to Richard Barbercheck. After a few preliminary discussions I brought Richard on-board after receiving his commitment to help ensure I would meet the ambitious goals I had already set for my company. I was skeptical of doing so especially due my firm belief that I could do it all myself. Why bring Richard onboard?
I was eventually dragged over the finish line in making that decision, both after continued discussions and with the urging of my staff; Richard’s services are not inexpensive. I should have begun months earlier. My organization has not only met but has already exceeded the interim goals we discussed and, this is six months in. I and my entire organization value the expertise and insight Richard has brought to us and credit him for much of our success. He has helped us be a much better working organization and I believe positioned us not just to be satisfied with that success but to be a stronger performing team consistently into the future.
So yes, the return on my investment has fully met my hopes. I wholeheartedly recommend Richard for anyone considering using his services for their organization. You will not be disappointed.”
“Richard has been monumental in helping my small business progress forward through uncertain times.”

Together we came up with tangible actions and solutions that would allow my business to execute at a higher level and with more flexibility to deal with the unknown. We are now increasing the number of leads and customers for our business. There is a lot of tough terrain out there and I am grateful to have Richard’s help to navigate through unprecedented times.”
