Richard Seaman
Richard Seaman retired from the Federal Aviation Administration as Director of Leadership and Professional Development and started Beacon Leadership Development. His team has assessed, coached, trained and evaluated for clients ranging from Fortune 100's to small independent restaurants, and from US Government Agencies to several large and small cities, counties, and states.
He has trained and coached thousands of people, from engaging teams to developing leaders to coaching executives and everything in between. He loves people, but more importantly, he loves to see people improve and experience personal and organizational success. Richard has acted as a facilitator in labor-management relations, succession planning, and diversity/discrimination challenges. He has served as an EEO counselor, investigator and arbitrator. He is well-versed in human capital consulting (recruiting to onboarding), collaborative work-group training, leadership development, strategic planning and instructional design/curriculum development. Richard loves youth and believes in the importance of fostering and motivating the next generation into future leaders.
Richard is considered an expert in leadership, management, organizational and individual development, customer service and adult education. He earned a Bachelors in Accounting, is certified as a Master Trainer with several organizations, and has three certifications as an Executive Coach.
In addition to his business interests, he currently teaches college courses in Supervision and Leadership, Performance Management, Time Management, Engagement, Ethics and regularly partners with other colleges through their Community Continuing Education Program. He also consults with university's athletic department in leadership, marketing, fan loyalty and sustainment, and student-athlete community engagement through citizenship and leadership.
As a Motivational Speaker, Richard has the ability as an educator, to craft/tailor a presentation depending on the needs of a particular audience or leader. But he loves to speak about "Lift someone Daily" and "Be Intentional." While his presentations are entertaining, he prides himself in always being "Memorable, Motivating, and Effective!"
