What Others are Saying – Past and Present
Four years of successes and failures but never enough funding, Operation Grace MN, was quickly descending into the abyss of total unsustainability. Personally, I was about to go under for the second and one half time. Fortunately, we met through a referral for business coaching. I recognized his leadership skills and work experience and decided to grab hold and keep my head up. Ric has humbly come alongside of us and walked with us as we re-structured our plan. He prepared us to communicate the possibility, vision and engage our board and new sources of funding. Nine months after meeting we are comfortably stretching toward a very real future of serving others.
Thank You Ric.
