The President of Top Tier Leadership is an award-winning speaker and transformational leader with a big heart and a long resume.
Rita combines deep experience and delightful charm, but they’re not what set her apart. It’s that she doesn’t just promise high-impact results – she delivers!
As a seasoned leadership consultant, business coach and high-content motivational speaker, she prides herself on being a master communicator and the designer of award-winning training programs.
Her workshops, keynote addresses and interactive C-level retreats are arranged to spur engagement, drive ambition and ignite collaboration.
She builds on clients’ motivation, talent and drive to develop highly-effective employees, executives and teams.
She views today’s rapidly-changing workplace not as an array of problems to be solved – a generational shift, a need for diversity, employee engagement – but as a challenge demanding new solutions, and she loves challenges.
Listeners are captivated and amused by her tales of growing up with 10 siblings, but there are lessons among the laughter.
Her large household, which ranged from grandmother to baby brother, mirrored today’s multiple-generation workplace, and those deeply-personal experiences are what convinced her to pursue a career in people management.
Her optimism delights and inspires, encouraging life changes that boost happiness and achievement.
Heads nod at her conviction that traditions can be crucial in business as well as families in cementing those changes.
