About Me

As a coach, I do three things (I call them the 3 P's):

I PUSH you.
Everyone procrastinates in one way or another. That's what's holding you back.

My job as your coach is to get you to realize that you are not moving forward, step out of your comfort zone, and take action. Not a huge jump, but a small step. Most people will find this first step is all they need to start accelerating towards their dream.

I PARTNER with you.
I'm there as a partner to help you celebrate your successes and brainstorm alternatives when you hit obstacles.

It's hard to be out there without someone to bounce ideas off of - someone to help you take the emotion out of a decision and clearly define all the options available to you. In addition, I'm there to help you with your blind spots - you don't know they're their, but I see them.

I PLAN with you.
Most people want to reach for the sky (good for you!) but they don't have a plan to get them there.

It's like taking a trip and leaving the map or GPS home. Where will you go? Will you make mistakes? Will it slow your traveling speed? Yes. That's why you need an action plan.

Not a HUGE business plan that you put into the drawer and forget about. An action plan that does what it says: ACTION. I usually keep it to 90 days - to ensure that it is actionable, you reach your goal quickly, and you enjoy the ride.

That's what life is ALL about.

As a small but hopefully meaningful gift to you, I want to take a moment to let you know how much I valued your input when we worked together during the fourth quarter of 2008. You have a great approach for helping individuals rise above the daily challenges and frustrations – especially during a career transition, which is always fraught with a degree of fear, uncertainty and doubt – in order to focus on what’s important in order to move forward. I especially liked the Plan/Act/Succeed tool which offers a great roadmap both for personal and professional achievement.

I had the opportunity to recently work with Rich when I lost my job of 13 years with IBM. His coaching to get me over the shock of being outside the IBM bubble after so long and back into the job market was a lifesaver. He helped redefine my schedule, stay focused on the right priorities and how to work through and leverage previous, personal and business contacts, something I am not usually comfortable doing. The great news was I was able to use this to land a job with a local start-up and in that he provided invaluable insight on negotiating a salary. Rich, thank you so much.

In each coaching session with Rich I came away with great ideas and strategies to expand and improve my business. His insight, examples, experience and humor will assist in reaching the results you seek.

Rich asked the hard questions. He is the first coach I have met that assumed I knew how to be focused and organized. Rich got down to the roadblocks and the difficult issues – what a “no nonsense” executive coach. His personable style immediately put me at ease and we got so much accomplished. The best part is: weeks after our sessions, something he said will come back to me and I know I’m ready to act on it with the tools he gave me. One call did make a difference!

Rich has combined his coaching expertise with positive feedback, insight and practical information to help me identify the steps I need to take to reach my goals. Even better, I’m taking those steps because Rich keeps me accountable in a relaxed and positive manner.

I have worked with Rich on a personal career level. He has amazing insight, is very professional and helped me me begin to be more creative in my thought processes. He listened with a keen ear and helped guide me to formulate the path I am now embarking upon. With his guidance and knowledge, I have been able to create a plan, work my plan and am seeing results as I go along. He is much more than a coach, he truly takes a personal interest in what I am doing, he is very encouraging and strives to keep me on my chosen path. As a career coach, his intuitive insight has proven to be leaps and bounds over any expectations I may have initially had when we began to work together. He is an expert in his field and anyone who even considering a step like this would be highly advised to seek Rich out. The results speak for themselves.

Rich is a true professional, in every aspect of the word. His unique ability to provide knowledge, passion, trust, and accountability in everything he does allows people to exude & radiate their true inner strength and well being. The power to attain what the heart desires may lay within, but I can’t think of a better road map to use to get you there.

Rich – You were exactly right! They were looking for a quick well thought out solution and my prepared proposal was able to deliver just that. Every time I thought I was in over my head, I reminded myself that I HAVE VALUE, I’ve done this before, I AM the answer to their prayers. I made a practice of offering positive statements and complimenting them on the work they had done so far. I didn’t have to force this, I simply had to listen, be aware, and BE the kind of person I would love to do business with. The only question they had on the proposal is “would you like a check right now?” The total amount agreed to is almost triple the top amount I have ever charged! While I now know I possessed the ingredients to make this happen all along, I could have accomplished NONE of this without YOUR help. I am on a such a high right now and I while I realize that I may go back out into the ring tommorrow and take a few more punches, I feel damn lucky that you are in my corner.

Rich Gee is a great coach and speaker. He is dynamic, funny, and in complete control of a room. He knows how to pump up the audience. I have seen him in front of undergraduate college students, evening MBA students and professionals. The results are always extremely positive.

Professional, courteous, on-target coaching. Rich Gee has it all! His depth of experience in the business world and expertise shows in every coaching session. One conversation with Rich Gee has changed my life forever. Not to mention the great quotes, books and other resources (and unique humor) he shares with unbridled enthusiasm.

With a sales force of 20 people we realized we were no longer a small company and had to improve our communication and professionalism. We turned to Rich Gee to run our sales meeting. In one day our sales force found a new vision. They shared ideas as never before and left believing that they could improve their income expectations. One of the secrets to success is believing in your product and your employer and we achieved that in our meeting.

Rich is an amazing coach!! He’s extremely organized and thorough and is at the cutting edge of how to be successful in today’s business world. Rich is also a tremendous resource for networking/connecting and steers his clients to the people and organizations that will help grow their business and productivity. I am a coach and Rich was my coach . . . so I know first hand how valuable his coaching is. Everyone knows that the best doctor to go to is “the doctors’ doctor” and similarly, Rich is a wonderful coach because I consider him “the coaches’ coach.” I’d recommend Rich to anyone who wants to get to the next level in their field!

Where does an “idea” guy turn when he runs out of ideas? He turns to Rich Gee. Rich has an innate ability to connect with people. This allows him to bring out the best in his clients. If you are a Fortune 500 executive looking to break down some performance barriers, Rich can help. If you are the owner of the corner store trying to find time to juggle your priorities, Rich is the man to see. If you are at a crossroads in your career, Rich should be your guide. The success of a business is measured in bottom line results and that’s how you should measure your progress with a coach. Rich will not only pass this test, he will help your earnings leap off the chart. I am proud to give Richard Gee my highest recommendation.

Rich’s calm demeanor allows me to explore areas of my life that I had previously ignored. In world of greed and selfishness, Rich helps see the true meaning of work, family, and life. I would not be where I am today without his guidance, enthusiasm, and compassion.
