Six SELF help books that are SELF published, which means Rick can customise them for clients any way they want!
While writing his books on his PC, Rick thought hard and long about how best to produce a true "legacy" - not to make money, but to help others. He chose a top self-publishing company (Blurb) so he could offer purchasers a choice of formats (egs, cover wrap, hard back or soft back) and other ways to have their books customised for them. Rick has complete control over all files and can edit and call off for clients as many copies as they want whenever they want.
SELF published
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! For insight into Rick's breadth of experience see Case Studies.

All books can be used for both SELF Help and “Group Therapy” (see D.I.Y. KITS for TEAMS)
To help you THINK and get "in the mood" for self help, complete the questionnaire below to consider YOUR perfect work/life balance. THINK ABOUT IT - what you, as an individual, most really VALUE, even if your current circumstances are holding you back -
consider your work and future work (ambition) social, family, friends, neighbours, nature, the planet, your community, etc
Just think about it first, and maybe make a few notes, and then score out of 10 their importance to YOU of these 5 areas:
1. your work and career ____ 2. your family life ____ 3. your friends ____ 4. social life ____ 5. contributing to the community ____
Then think about and score out of 10, these 6 areas to identify HOW you need/want to improve:
1. projection ____ 2. inter-personal skills ____ 3. knowledge ____ 4. qualifications ____ 5. behaviour ____ 6. energy ____
AND if you buy and study the book “THINK ABOUT IT”, it will help you THINK even more about what YOU want and need for YOUR perfect balance - AND it will unavoidably be identifying WHAT YOU NEED TO DO - to achieve it !
"You can only control what you can control - but YOU CAN CONTROL what you CAN control !" - THINK ABOUT IT!
