-- Kristin Porter, People Talent, Intel
“The Strategic Coaching Program is a terrific resource for leaders. The content is highly customized and it allows the leader to consider multiple elements of strategy development through an in-depth and critical lens.

Rich does a great job of guiding you through the program in a supportive and realistic way. His command of the content and relevant business experience enables him to relate to the participant with competence and authenticity.

“Rich Horwath did an exceptional job at helping our organization take a Deep Dive into how we were looking at strategy and planning. Since our Strategic Thinking and Planning workshop with Rich at our National Meeting, we have received feedback throughout the organization that it was the best session they have ever attended. The skills and tools have immediately made an impact on our organization.”
-- John Berrios, Vice President Commercial Operations, Bayer “
I learned more useful and practical strategy tools in one day with you than in five days at the Wharton Executive Education Program on Strategy. Your Strategic Thinking program was much more of what I was looking for: one day of using practical tools to help develop a strategy. I can envision using what you taught us immediately with my team for next year’s planning.”
-- Michael Tomcsanyi, National Director, Sunovion
"Your Deep Dive Strategic Thinking workshop was very effective at introducing planning concepts I am now using to develop strategies at FedEx. Your strategic concepts are universal for most product and service applications, and by providing about 10 concepts, we were sure to walk away with at least half of the concepts that we can apply to our specific work. I found your Deep Dive Strategic Thinking Process to be skillfully facilitated and concepts to be vital planning tools."
– Ann Smith-Gill, Marketing Special Advisor, FedEx
“Rich helps our leaders hone their priorities into powerful strategies. We are very blessed to have Rich leading us through our strategic thinking and planning. He is our Strategy Whisperer.”
