Rick Maurer Beyond the Wall of Resistance

Biography

The success of new projects, reorganizations, mergers, and quality efforts demand full commitment from the people who must implement these initiatives. Through executive coaching, project planning meetings, interdepartmental team building, and management development, Rick Maurer consults to leaders and their teams on ways to handle these changes more effectively.

Of particular interest to clients these days is his work in resistance to change. His book, Beyond the Wall of Resistance: Unconventional Strategies That Build Support for Change, was recently published. (Bard Books) Since its release, his opinion has been sought by NBC Nightly News, CNBC, Fox News in New York, News Channel Eight in Washington, DC, Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, Industry Week, The Economist, trade and business publications, and many radio and television programs throughout the country.

He is a popular and engaging speaker. Clients say they appreciate the careful attention he pays to them during preparation to ensure that his presentations address their issues. He also gets people involved during his speeches. He believes people take away more if they have a chance to engage with the material. His rich experience in organizations and gift for anecdotes make his presentations inspiring, practical, and enjoyable.

Rick has consulted to managers and staff from organizations as diverse as Tulane University Hospital and Clinic, Adventist Healthcare Mid-Atlantic, Bell Atlantic, Fannie Mae, MTV Networks, Charles Schwab, Deloitte & Touche Canada, District of Columbia Public Schools, the government of Guyana, the International Monetary Fund, as well as many federal and local agencies.
