Rick Lewis
Professional Misbehaver Rick Lewis delivers a message about excellence in the most accessible, refreshing, and entertaining way your guests will ever experience.
What Just Happened?
Imagine your guests sitting down for lunch or dinner as their waiter approaches the table to refresh the water glass. Filling the glass to the brim from a height of two and half feet, the waiter then asks your guest, “Is that enough water for you?” with a completely straight face.
Imagine the same waiter visiting tables to place sugar packets on the entrée plate, sweep beneath the feet of the seated diners, fill his own pockets with rolls from the center basket and crawl around on his hands and knees to retrieve fallen silverware.
A trained actor, Rick Lewis brings utterly sincere conviction to the role of a completely inept server. By the end of the meal your guests have leaned to the left or right at least a dozen times to whisper to the person sitting next to them, “Did you see that?”
The result? Not only do your guests deeply connect with each other, they also begin a journey of awareness into how their own perceptions and attitudes shape their lives.
50-Year-Old on a 12 Foot Unicycle
Imagine their reaction when the waiter returns at the end of the meal to apologize for being so nervous and ineffective and then sheds his server uniform to launch into a high energy, irresistibly hilarious, interactive physical comedy show where they themselves become the stars. As the light bulb goes off they realize that they were fooled by their own assumptions of what was really going on.
Rick’s finale - mounting and riding a unicycle that is twelve feet tall with the help of a dozen members of the audience - is an unforgettable experience of fun, daring, mastery, and excellence.
7 Rules You Were Born to Break
From the beginning to the end of your event, professional misbehaver Rick Lewis demonstrates one thing; that we live in unconscious obedience to 7 rules that undermine our efforts to excel and succeed.
Providing a tangible example of what it would look like if we knew what those hidden rules were and broke free, Rick will entertain your crowd like never before and leave them inspired to transcend past limitations, both of their individual potential and your organizational possibilities.
As the author of 7 Rules You Were Born to Break, Rick's keynotes revolve around stories from thirty years of performing for audiences that humorously and vividly illustrate his message. His experience with entertaining over a million people from all walks of life and in every industry are the foundation of his unique insights and his invitation to discover the power of Intelligent Misbehavior.
Testimonials
"We have had many motivational speakers talk eloquently and powerfully about great ideas, but we have rarely had somebody like you demonstrate them in such an entertaining and delightful manner." - GE Plastics HR Manager
"Unreal. Simply one of the best corporate entertainers/speakers I have ever witnessed or hired. Rick was hired to perform/speak at a National Sales meeting that our company held. The entire staff was not only caught off guard by the presentation and entertained beyond any expectation, but truly enjoyed the complete act/discussion afterwards. At this time I was a Regional Sales Manager in the Northeast and hired Rick to perform for the New York State School Food Service Association. To say the group enjoyed it would be an understatement. To this day folks still tell me how that was the best performer/speaker they have ever seen." - Schwan's Foods Corporate Meeting Director
"I want to let you know that we received a flood of comments regarding your performance at our annual High Performance Achievement Awards dinner last evening. The consensus is that you were awesome!!!" - Union Pacific Railroad Executive VP Marketing and Sales
"Rick was hired as the keynote speaker/entertainer for an academic conference of faculty and administrators. Not only was he enjoyable to watch as an entertainer, his ability to relate his performance back to the "why" behind education was amazing. I would strongly recommend him if you are looking for a unique and creative way to provide a keynote address with a solid message!" - Kaplan University Dean of Curriculum
"The feedback received from the attendees was unanimous...he was a roaring success." - Securian Financial Group Vice Chairman and Executive V.P.
