Ric Giardina, JD
CA, US
Improved productivity, service and product quality, relationships, and esprit de corps through increased employee engagement.
"Ric provides keynotes and trainings to organizations--including law firms and in-house legal departments--that want their employees engaged so their work is more meaningful and their lives are more in balance. Organizations experience improved productivity, service and product quality, employee relations, and esprit de corps by creating cultures that support employees in being authentic, build balance into employees' lives, consciously create workplace community, and develop individual and organizational self-discipline. Ric's programs are not just feel-good ""inoculations."" Instead, his conference programs are highly integrated and include options for keynotes, concurrent sessions on the keynote topic, and extensive follow-up in the form of teleseminars so attendees can really make the changes in their lives, habits, and behaviors that meeting planners hope for and have come to expect. Additionally, Ric can provide relevant and easily understood articles available for reprinting in company publications. For more than 25 years, Ric worked as an attorney and businessperson in corporate America. He created start-up spin-off subsidiaries for several international companies, including Intel, where he also co-designed and implemented the now ubiquitous Intel Inside® program and directed Intel's early branding activities including the creation of names such as Pentium®. Before leaving Intel to create Spirit Employed, he served as its Director of Business Relationships. His articles, essays, and poetry have been broadly published. His first book in the Spirit Employed® series, Your Authentic Self: Be Yourself at Work, was published in April 2002, and has been purchased for mass distribution to employees at such world-class organizations as Southwest Airlines and the California Franchise Tax Board. The second book in the Spirit Employed series, Become a Life Balance Master, was published in April 2003. His first volume of poetry, Threads of Gold, was published in January 2000 and the second, Landscapes and Legends, will be published shortly."
