A Successful Speaking Career (by accident!) - Rick Lewis

Rick Lewis could be succinctly described as "a speaker, author & professional consultant", but such technical labelling wouldn't paint a fair picture of who he really is. He describes what he's doing as "intelligent misbehaviour". He's public appearences have a much deeper goal than just pure entertainment. Rick is passionate about discovering and breaking the hidden rules that rule our behaviour and strifle our growth as people.
