Rick Railsback

The transformational work in LFP is done in partnership between the client and Rick. Rick brings over 40 years of experience in diverse operating roles to his personal and executive coaching practice. Rick leverages this breadth of experience into results-oriented support for professionals. While Rick’s professional profile as a coach is clearly differentiated by his business experience, Rick’s coaching is every bit as effective in addressing life issues as professional issues. Rick’s background uniquely enables him to understand beliefs and behaviors that can have broad-ranging effects in one’s professional and/or personal life. ... An important value informing Rick’s coaching practice is expressed in the New Ventures West philosophy of coaching. Specifically, NVW believes that a coach must be actively involved in his/her own personal development to bring integrity to the process of assisting another person in their development. Another important part of NVW’s coaching strategy instilled in Rick is that of inviting clients into practices that are self-adjusting, self-generating, and create a pathway to higher levels of competence in life skills. Rick’s engagements are confidential. Each is a results-oriented, systematic process in which he facilitates the enhancement of life experience and goal-attainment in the personal and/or professional lives of normal, non-clinical clients. In addition to 40 years of business experience, Rick is Certified by the International Coach Federation, a Certified Integral Coach and has certifications in Emotional Intelligence and Hogan assessment tools. He has coached CEO’s and their direct reports, i.e. CHRO’s, CFO’s and Group Presidents as well as mid-career professionals at the Harvard Business School’s Program for Leadership Development.
