Zig Ziglar said that he and his wife, Jean, were honored and pleased when Richard called and sang to her on Mother's Day. She enjoyed it so much she asked Richard to sing to her a second time. This time she put him on speakerphone so Zig and the whole family could enjoy it. Indeed, they did. That is the result of one of Richard's phonegram serenades.
When Richard lived in Dallas, TX, he was a student of Zig Ziglar and a student of Zig's Mentor, Fred Smith. Fred Smith was from Huntington, TN and was a businessman, consultant, lecturer and president of Fred Smith Associates.
Since 1996, Richard has presented over 3,500 speaking, wellness and singing programs to corporations, associations, churches, school districts, healthcare facilities and retirement communities. Some of his clients have been JP Morgan, Kindred Healthcare, Hyatt Corporation, Mary Kay and Marriott Corporation.
Richard creates an intimate connection with all of his audiences; he understands that creating a positive and relaxed atmosphere is conducive to achieving optimal results. Envision him having a mixture of your company's executives and employees/association members up doing the New York chorus line or Dean Martin's "Sway" in Michael Bublé's way. Not only is this fun, but this experience creates a great feeling of connectedness, inclusiveness and an authentic aliveness throughout the entire audience.
