Slow Down.

See Clearly.

Move Forward.

Facilitation, Coaching, and Consulting

The point of any retreat, coaching session, or organizational development effort is to change something. Maybe you're trying to set a new direction. Maybe your leadership team has stopped listening to one another. Maybe you're navigating a difficult transition or wrestling with a problem that no one seems to be able to name. But the process is always the same - you need to figure out a new way of seeing things.

My job is to help you do that. I usually do this outside.

US Botanic Garden

US Naval Academy

The outdoors as a place to think differently.

Given the choice, I’d rather facilitate a conversation on a trail than in a boardroom. I’ve watched leadership teams have breakthrough conversations while walking through the woods, paddling a canoe, or simply taking a lap around the block. Something changes when we move. The pace slows. Hierarchy softens. Silence feels natural instead of uncomfortable. We spend less energy performing and more energy paying attention.

Hi. I’m Richard Glass.

During my 20 years of experience across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and the US, I've facilitated international workshops on disaster readiness and response, explored the leadership lessons of Gettysburg with humanitarian leaders, and led strategic planning sessions for countries navigating political transitions.

Not sure if this is what you need? Well, that is a fine place to start a conversation.
