Everything You Need to Know Before You Book
If you have a question that is not answered here, call us at 1-954-218-5325 or email rick@rickgoodman.com.
First, for single-day or half-day sessions, we recommend booking at least four to six weeks in advance to allow time for the customization discovery process and program build. Meanwhile, for multi-session Leadership Intensives, eight to twelve weeks is ideal to ensure the program is properly scoped and sequenced for your organization. However, expedited availability is sometimes possible, so reach out and we will work with your timeline.
First, every program begins with a discovery conversation where Rick learns about your organization's specific challenges, culture, industry, and goals. As a result, the content, examples, and frameworks are built around your audience, so no two programs are identical. In fact, Rick does not use a generic slide deck, and he does not deliver the same session twice without tailoring it to the room.
First, a keynote is an inspiring, high-energy presentation typically delivered to a large audience in 45 to 90 minutes. As a result, it plants the seeds of a new mindset and sends people out energized. By contrast, a training program goes deeper. In addition, it is interactive, skill-building, and designed to produce measurable behavior change through exercises, role plays, group discussion, and practical application. Consequently, many organizations book a keynote for the opening of an event and then bring Rick back for a training engagement with a smaller leadership group.
Overall, Rick has delivered programs to groups ranging from eight-person executive teams to company-wide sessions of several hundred participants. Therefore, the format and structure are adapted based on group size. For example, smaller groups allow for more intensive role-play and interactive work, while larger groups use breakout structures and facilitated exercises to maintain engagement and application.
Absolutely. In fact, many organizations build custom learning days or leadership retreats that combine two or three programs into a full-day experience. For example, a morning session on Solutions Oriented Leadership followed by an afternoon on Winning Strategies for Dealing with Difficult People is a high-impact pairing for any management team. As a result, Rick will help you design the right sequencing so the programs build on each other rather than feeling disconnected.
Yes. Specifically, all programs are available in-person, fully virtual, or as hybrid multi-session engagements. However, virtual delivery is not a slide deck on Zoom. Instead, Rick uses interactive tools, breakout discussions, and structured exercises to replicate the energy and engagement of an in-person session. In addition, hybrid programs typically combine an on-site kick-off with virtual follow-up sessions to reinforce learning and sustain behavior change over time.
First, Rick's programs are built around frameworks that your team can track and reference long after the session ends. Specifically, the G.E.T., A.S.K., and WIIFM frameworks are designed to become part of your organizational vocabulary and daily operating rhythm, not a one-day memory. In addition, participant feedback is gathered after every session. Finally, for multi-session engagements, Rick builds in accountability checkpoints between sessions. As a result, many clients report measurable behavior change three to six months after the program.
Overall, Rick has delivered training programs across corporate organizations, healthcare systems, financial services, real estate, hospitality, manufacturing, professional associations, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies. Moreover, leadership, communication, and accountability challenges exist across industries. Therefore, the frameworks translate across sectors, while Rick customizes examples and scenarios to match your specific environment.
First, investment is based on program type, duration, group size, customization scope, and travel requirements. Because every program is customized, pricing is discussed during the discovery conversation rather than listed publicly. In fact, most organizations find that a single well-executed training engagement pays for itself in reduced turnover, faster decision-making, and measurable improvement in team performance. Therefore, contact us to discuss your goals and we will put together a proposal that fits your budget and objectives.
