I’ve known Rick for close to two decades. His counsel is based on common sense and deep wisdom. Rick ‘cuts to the chase,’ addressing issues that to us mere mortals seem intractable.
His ability to enter situations where communication is failing, unravel the circumstances, and put the parties on a better path is uncanny and efficient. The ROI from saving and facilitating important relationships is off the charts, and this is before you factor in the preventative value of Rick’s counsel and training.
It is a huge comfort to me to know that when I have an internal communication challenge or when a member of our team has an external challenge, Rick is there as a caring and effective resource to help.
Dwayne Hermes, Founder and CEO, Hermes Law and Claim Deck
Rick has been an invaluable resource for me for many years. His work with individuals and in corporate settings is nothing short of phenomenal.
Michael Jeffcoat, CEO and Chief Legal Officer, The Jeffcoat Firm, PA
It was a shame. I had a potentially near-perfect employee that put up a wall I could not penetrate. Over the course of year I tried everything I knew to improve chemistry and got nowhere. Rick broke through quickly and gently in one session with my team. If it’s at all fixable Rick can fix it. As a result of his work with us my entire team is more effective and efficient.
Peter Granoff, Owner, Readingglasses.com, and GooGoo Eyes, Dallas
Rick has worked with me on many business issues. He’s a great coach, making big
problems much smaller. His unique understanding of business operations helps to turn challenges into opportunities.
Herb Weitzman, CEO, The Weitzman Group and Cencor Realty Service
It was the best investment I’ve ever made. When I think of Rick, I think of the Olympics. Many good dedicated athletes try out, a select few make the team, but only the very best win the gold medals. When it comes to executive coaching, Rick is a gold medalist. What he taught me has made my life much more fun and effortless.
Gerald Hill, CFO, Hospital of the Chesapeake’s, Annapolis MD
Rick has been my coach for many years. He has had a powerful influence on my ability to lead, to coach and mentor other staff members, and to enjoy my work. I am fascinated by the ripple effect of this training on our employees and our organization. Our organizational capacity has increased dramatically, our staff is more productive, and our ability to work with the families we serve has been strengthened through this Leadership Training experience.
I first contacted Rick for personal guidance. The amazing thing is that the same methodology he guided me to use in my personal life was soon making a positive impact on my work-related challenges as well. Because of the increased awareness, peace and sense of centeredness I now enjoy, I operate with more clarity. I’ve garnered more respect from colleagues and employees at all levels and consequently have a greater positive impact on my organization. The skills he’s taught me have made my personal and professional relationships much more rewarding.
Randy Haran, President/CEO, Texas Air Composites
Rick has the gift of taking strong, healthy leaders to a much higher level of performance. I have enjoyed two plus years of executive coaching with him. Rick creates an environment where we learn to co-create amid complexity. He is outstanding in this role and someone I highly recommend. I know Rick as a friend and as a personal coach. It is inspiring to observe how truly he models the values he encourages.
Rick, your workshop was fantastic. With a very diverse group of employees, my general contracting company can present some unique challenger. Whether younger, older, field or office you very effectively pulled them all together. I really enjoyed watching the way you had them communicating as one team pulling in the same direction. I left the workshop knowing my team was stronger and that each one of them gained valuable tools to help them interact with one another more effectively. It was also just plain fun!
Gary Gracey, CEO, Landmark Construction
From the start Rick was a pleasure to work with and curious about our organization and employees. He took the time to understand our needs and context before delivering an inspirational session on Taming Your Gremlin. He felt part of the team putting on our great Leadership School and his passion showed through when speaking with our participants.
Nigel Daly, Lead Leadership Culture and Strategy, Ministry of Justice United Kingdom
Your opening presentation to our Creative Financial Group executives was exactly what we needed. In one hour, the over 300 participants were inspired and entertaining and, more importantly, they left with practical skills they could immediately put to use to tame their inner gremlins and create rewarding professional and personal relationships. Thanks a million, Rick. We look forward to having you back.”
Robert Kaplan, Personal and Business Coach
The retreat Rick facilitated for us was the most powerful time I ever experienced. I cannot imagine a better training and staff retreat than what he provided us.

No formal education, graduate school or other seminar has improved my personal development or clinical ability as much as working with Rick Carson.
No measure of academics compares to Rick’s experiential approach. I gain more insight in one training session with Rick than the majority of books that have been part of my training. Rick is an artist as a facilitator, and he truly desires for each member of the group to absorb the material. I highly recommend Rick’s program to any mental health and related professionals.
Training with Rick Carson is the opportunity to work with a true master guide. And Rick puts the cookies on the bottom shelf! It’s everything you wanted from graduate school but didn’t get.”
Taming Your Gremlin® Intensive was indeed a life-altering experience for me as a person and a coaching professional. I have always believed that behavioral changes are sustainable only if one is able to pay attention to the underlying beliefs. Thanks to The Gremlin-Taming® method, I now have a very powerful way of helping myself and my clients tame our respective gremlins by turning the spotlight on our beliefs.
Rick is a master facilitator, speaker and author. Collaborating and being in dialogue with him is a real joy and a source of deep inspiration. His Taming Your Gremlin work is such a unique gift to the world and is helping thousands of people all over the world to live a life of greater freedom and joy. He walks the talk and does so with a unique combination of humor, compassion and wisdom. I respect him deeply for that and cannot recommend him highly enough.
Laurens Van Aarle, Coaches Rising, Amsterdam Netherlands
Training with Rick was the best learning and growth development both professionally and personally that I’ve had since my doctoral studies. I felt connected to the work in a deep rooted way. I highly recommend this training to psychotherapists who are looking to enhance both their conceptual abilities, their clinical skills, and perhaps, most importantly, their relationship to self.
Rick Carson is a master coach, teacher, and guide. He takes loving care to help each of his trainees develop a powerful, personalized style. He helped me tap into, free eup, and channel my own gifts. As a result of Rick’s work with me I am more effective and confident in my work. Both I and my clients have benefited immensely.”
I have never felt more cared for and personally looked after in a ‘training’… I can’t say enough about Rick and the material that he presents. I highly recommend all things Rick for any type of mental health practitioner. The information I have learned from him has greatly affected the effectiveness of my counseling ability and always will.
However far I come, however much I learn, whatever I read on this subject, this method is always an underlying truth that is unshakeable.

I just know that I would not have been where I am today if I had not been acquainted with you and your method.

Rick is a true gift! He is eminently skilled, compassionate, wise and a straight shooter. Through my many years of working with him, I have learned to fully embrace and embody my natural self. And when I forget to do that, thanks to Rick, I know the way home.
Need coaching? You could not do better than to get Rick’s help. I’ve worked with Rick on and off for many years and he’s been invaluable to my growth. As a side note, I train and evaluate coaches. So, I am pretty picky, and when I need coaching – I pick him.
Aaron Murphy, Trainer/Coach/Performer
Rick is a true master mentor, coach and teacher. He teaches a method that really works to help people grow and get out of their own way, and he teaches this method in an organized and crystal clear way. His books on his method are first rate and even entertaining, and his guidance is superlative. Perhaps most important, he walks his talk. I recommend Rick without reservation.
