Leading from Experience. Smith, himself, turned an ordinary career into an extraordinary one. Smith revived an idea he had had several years earlier for top-level peer-to-peer exchange groups.
The initial reaction was frigid, but eventually one key executive signed on, then another, and another. Rick was riding other’s enthusiasm and one of the world’s largest, most successful professional networking organizations, was born.
How did it happen?
Why?
These are the questions that drove Rick to interview hundreds of people in fields as varied as healthcare, retailing, community service, and fashion to discover how they had turned their careers from ordinary to extraordinary.
What Smith discovered is both dramatic and counter intuitive – that
people who turn dull careers into deeply fulfilling ones, all follow a similar path.
It’s this process that Rick shares with his audiences and it’s one that everyone can take. Inspiring people in all organizations and at all levels to make their own leap is Rick Smith’s primary mission.
Helping individuals improve their lives through work and unlock latent productivity is what he does best.
