About Rick Reddington

Insightful leadership development, career growth & strategy, sales achievement, influence, alignment, DEIB, professional presence, coach, trainer, and mentor. ICF PCC with MS degrees in Leadership, Positive Organizational Development & Human Relations. Graduate certificates in Diversity & Inclusion and Employee Wellness & Stress Management; post-graduate NBHWC coach certification in Positive Psychology Health & Well-Being. Certified in prominent personality, leadership, strengths, wellness, career, and EQ assessments. I\'m all about supporting others to maximize their strengths through an introspective approach that triggers growth and change by aligning values and purpose with goals and objectives. Today’s workplace environments demand informed levels of conscious behavior, growth mindset, agility, emotional intelligence, grit, and resilience. Every part of life deserves personal well-being and appropriate work-life harmony and fulfillment.In 2001, career coaching changed the trajectory of my life. Prior, I worked within the technology industry, with software vendors, for over twenty years, in a variety of sales focused customer-facing roles. It was an earlier era of unprecedented change, from mainframe processing to internet-enabled, smart devices. Vendors stopped selling products and began offering client-centric solutions. The game changed significantly, as did all the rules. My roles included direct sales and business dev functions, sales support, consulting, sales leadership, customer success, and organizational learning. Employers included Oracle, IBM, Intersolv, CA, Chubb, Kaplan, and several technology start-ups. These years taught me the lifecycle of change, the impact of organizational culture, the value of inclusive leadership, the benefits and detriments of shared norms, the utility of winning or losing, and the potential of resiliency to move individuals and organizations through resistance to acceptance, growth, and onward to achievement. You can count on me to challenge perspectives, expose limiting beliefs, explore values, query behaviors, expand ideas, prompt reflection, provide feedback, and deliver the coaching, training, support, or guidance to empower growth, ingenuity, resiliency, agility, well-being, and sustainable change.
