Dr. Rick Goodman

One of the says our team gets to know speakers (new and those we have worked with for years) is inviting them to participate in our sales meetings.  We invite one speaker to conference in during our Tuesday morning sales meeting for 15 minutes to talk with the team.  Speakers use this time in several different ways.  Newer speakers to our bureau focus on what makes them unique and why we should recommend them to our clients.  Speakers already with an established track record with our bureau use this time to reinforce their background and to get us up to date with what they are doing.

Today, the speaker invited to the sales meeting was Dr. Rick Goodman.  We've worked with Rick several times over that past few years and have had great feedback from our clients. We've always positioned him for general audiences on the topics of Change, Negotiation, Conflict Management, Team Building and various Communication topics.

The purpose of his call with the team today was to talk about his return to a health care focus.  The plus side of Rick in this area is his non-political approach to the changes in health care. He looks at both sides of the issue (from practitioner to patient to caretakers) and how it effects us all in very different ways.

He is unique in the fact that his track record by developing (and later selling) one of the largest health care practices in St. Louis, was vice-president of operations for Neurology Associates Group, Inc, (which grew to be one of the largest medical practices in south Florida) and in being on the medical staff or the St. Louis Rams and the St. Louis Ambush. 

Whether you are looking for a program targeted specially for health care or a topic on Change, Negotiation, Conflict Management, Team Building or Communication, Dr. Rick Goodman is a someone you should consider for bringing to your team, organizaiton or association.
