His Trademark
The Man Behind The Shirts
Don’t tell anyone, but before he wore the shirts, Richard wore suits. One day, while shopping in Las Vegas, he wandered into a men’s store that specializes in exotic shirts. He took one look and the shirt journey began.
The shirts, with all their bright colors and different patterns, have become his trademark. His travel searches for unique fabrics from around the world and having them incorporated produce a unique final product – just like each of us are a unique blend of all the fabrics and patterns in our lives.
It's been said, more than once, it takes a very confident person to wear those shirts. The colors and the patterns are all part of Richard’s unique personality. To him, his shirts represent his spirit. Richard lives his life through his imagination, and that filters out through his creative energy and generous personality.
Off Stage
Get To Know Richard
Introvert
An introvert whose career forces him to be an extrovert. You might find that hard to believe, but off stage Richard enjoys a very quiet and solitude life. He loves the serenity of coming home and enjoying quiet time.
Driven
A very driven person who is totally committed to his crusade of helping people. On and off the road his days are filled with reading, researching, and writing material he feels will help people find their Best Life.
Family Man
Family was one thing he never really experienced. With the example put forth by his adoptive parents, he was confident he would spend his life as a bachelor. God intervened and Karen entered his life.
Understanding
Richard understands the need for balance in his life. With his schedule it might be challenging to believe there is time left for play, but he understands the need for balancing all Four Rooms of his life. He works diligently to maintain the stability that is absolutely necessary for living his best life and that filters out through the connections he makes with people everyday.
Golfer
Richard’s original passion in sports had always been the game of tennis, but over a period of time the wear and tear on his knees made it challenging to play. A conversation with a neighbor prompted Richard to try a sport he always thought was for “wimps.” Today, he is captivated by the game of golf. In fact, his golf clubs have almost as many frequent flyer miles as he does.
Spiritual
Richard says, “This is my ministry. As a teenager, I knew God had a special direction for my life. In the beginning, I felt I would spend my career on a church staff, but that wasn’t what God had in store for me. My beliefs form the foundation of all that I teach. If people will listen to my teachings, then I can help them find a quality of life that will take them to their Best Life possible.”

Questions For Richard
What drives you to do what you do?
My entire adult life has been dedicated to helping people find the pathway to a “better, more productive life.” I realized early on that God had given me a special gift of helping people find the pathway beyond the struggles they face in life. Yes, there are days when I wonder whether anyone is listening, but then I get an email or a phone call from someone sharing with me what my message meant to their life. That RECHARGES my battery, and I am ready for the next challenge. People, challenges, finding clarity, finding the life they were put on this earth to have – THAT DRIVES ME!
What do you want for the people in your life?
Since the day I started this awesome journey of helping people, I have always wanted three things for them – to be better, to be smarter, and to stand taller. May sound strange, but there is “more” for every person, and I want to use my gifts and talents to help them find their pathway to improvement. I know many people get stuck in their Circle of Sameness, and I want them to find the knowledge, the process, to learn how to take control of their life, rather than their life controlling them.
What makes your coaching program different from all the others out there?
First, I don’t consider myself a “coach.” I don’t coach people; I mentor them. Most coaching programs only deal with one aspect of a person’s life. I believe you live in 4 Rooms – Business, Family, Social, and Personal. When I am in a person’s life for a year, we deal with all 4 rooms. The strength to any person is the strength of the connection between these rooms. If I only help you with one room, I have hurt you in the other three. I work to strengthen you by strengthening the connection of all your rooms.

Testimonials
What They Say
When Richard presented I always witnessed total engagement from his audience along with emotional connection. His audience, including me, would always say the same thing, “It was as if Richard was speaking directly to me”. Richard seems to have a uniqueness in that he can reach into the soul of a person and make them feel that he knows them, he knows what they are going through and he knows how to guide them to a life of hopefulness and happiness.
What makes Richard so special? It’s the ability to cut through all the noise, to help people see and solve the heart of their problems. He’s entertaining, poignant, and he will reach you in a way few speakers can do on a very personal and lasting level.
We thoroughly enjoyed your A Day At The Zoo presentation. Your delivery was so engaging that I lost all track of time and totally engaged our staff. By any measure, you are a very effective speaker and educator.
You were great! Your presentations were exactly what we hoped they would be…passionate, inspiring, and packed with ideas.
I’ve seen many speakers and trainers and I’d consider you one of the very best. You are authentic and relatable. You have depth and you bring tremendous wisdom and perspective to each of the topics you address. Thank you for sharing your many gifts and for making a difference in my life.
Thank you very much for helping to make our VMGMA Conference one of our most successful meetings ever. You started our meeting with enthusiasm and inspiration and we maintained this momentum through the balance of our meeting. You were the most highly rated speaker on our slate.
It is always a scary thing being the one to choose the keynote speaker for your company meeting, and it made me a bit nervous….I am extremely pleased to tell you that I received many phone calls, voicemails, and cards from people telling me THANKS for bringing you to our sales meeting.
To quote some of their feedback: ‘Wonderful’… ‘Richard Flint expanded our growth today’…‘Great presentation with Richard Flint’… ‘One of the best programs I’ve ever attended.’ This is feedback that a program manager likes to hear!
Thank you very much for the informative, inspiring, and uplifting morning you provided for the sales people in Southern California. They enjoyed your time with them very much and were able to pull information from you that will help them to continue to grow as sales people and as people.
