SELF
HELP
For more than 50 years, Rick Whitehead has been helping people THINK, COMMUNICATE and ACHIEVE
be “intelligently selfish” to identify
and prioritise
ways you can
(and should)
reach your true
GREEN
SKY
thinking
Rick believes in SELF help; he asks questions without providing answers which forces people to THINK about (and laugh at) themselves, ideally using his ingenious new book of
72 questions “THINK ABOUT IT”
POTENTIAL
As his "legacy" Rick, the founder of Impetus Training, is now providing uniquely effective resources to help people
“do it themselves”!
50 years of DOING and LEARNING
Rick's quirky approach includes him teaching individuals from over 40 different countries to say out loud in a Liverpudlian accent his trademark phrase "share care communicate". And many individuals over the years, because of his refreshingly different approach have suggested that he "should write a book". Now he has done - six times and counting! To see Rick and his colleagues' breadth of experience see Case Studies.
LEARNING and LAUGHING
In all his years as a trainer and coach, Rick has focussed on helping people ACHIEVE and that they learn best by DOING, rather than being “lectured at” (they are awake and having fun!) So he has applied the same principles to his legacy! All books contain questionnaires, checklists, steps to achievement, case studies and guides on how to APPLY principles.
THE UNIVERSITY OF LIFE
Though not an academic himself, Rick's practical approach has augmented theoretical learning from many higher education establishments, especially postgraduate courses, including the University of Cambridge MPhil ISMM and (his favourite client ever) the University of Trinidad and Tobago!
