WHY RISHA?

FOR OVER 25 YEARS, I HAVE HELPED HUNDREDS OF ORGANIZATIONS CATALYZE CHANGE IN THEIR CULTURES. The first half of my life, I was a baller who shot my way to the Division One level. The second half of my life, I’ve been grindin’ it out in business. Basketball taught me everything about culture and team dynamics — you win or lose together, and every possession is a decision. Then the industry that built my career changed overnight  and so did everything I thought I knew about my place in it. I had to figure out who I was without the label I’d built my whole career on. It took remembering my purpose — helping people make decisions worthy of the lives they affect and exactly whose lives I’m here to help.

That purpose hasn’t changed. What’s changed is how many rooms it shows up in. Whether the topic is leadership, culture, resilience, or personal growth, the throughline is the same: leaders who pause before they decide build outcomes that last for their people, their teams, and the cultures they create together.

As your culture coach, my goal is to lead audiences to that pause. A place of respect, understanding, authenticity, and perspective, without placing blame, increasing judgment, or encouraging guilt.

Be Better Than Your BS Video Series

Online Micro-Learning for Busy Professionals

2020 was a pivotal year for all of us. Like so many others, I transitioned to virtual speaking and consulting and while I wasn’t excited about the change, it offered a badass opportunity to connect with my audiences in an interactive way.

As such, we were able to gather data from over 150,000 employees across the United States and abroad. That knowledge has been applied to all of our E-Learning content and provided to you.

Yes. You read that correctly! I’ve built a professional development program that sparks personal growth and spurs organizational change based upon information from people just like you.

“The Be Better Than Your BS™ Video Series was exactly what our team needed. We were looking for professional development that is on-going, motivational and educational—something that could help us build a more connected and stronger culture—and this series is delivering.

Risha’s approach is authentic, relatable, and effective. The videos are short enough to fit into our busy schedules but impactful enough to spark real, meaningful cultural shifts. It will help our teams to think more critically, communicate more openly, and show up for each other in a whole new way.
