Author, TEDx Speaker, Distinguished Toastmaster, Award Winning Humorous Speaker, Salesforce Certified ProfessionalHi, I’m Rick. People consider me to be a naturally funny guy. Everyone told me I should be doing standup comedy but when I finally gave it a shot ... no one was laughing. I read books, attended workshops, bought online courses ... I just couldn't figure out how to bring my naturally funny self to the stage... I nearly quit.But I finally found my mentor and he was able to explain to me the fundamental reasons people laugh and the structures I could use to be successful on stage as a standup comic.When I wanted to transition to corporate speaking I encountered similar frustrations. I encountered vague and general advice like "don't tell jokes, tell stories." I deeply understand how frustrating it can be to struggle with humor in your presentations. I’ve been there myself and I’m here to help you overcome those challenges.That journey led me to create process-driven approaches combining techniques from speech writing, stand-up and comedy writing, along with improv comedy.
