An Independent Certified Coach, Teacher, Trainer and Speaker with Maxwell Leadership Certified Team.

About Rick Young

As a Maxwell Leadership Certified Coach, Teacher and Speaker, I can offer you workshops, seminars, keynote speaking, and coaching, aiding your personal and professional growth through study and practical application of John’s proven leadership methods. Working together, I will move you and/or your team or organization in the desired direction to reach your goals.

I’ve spent more than twenty years leading and developing people in some of the toughest environments—military operations, crisis response, emergency management, and leadership development in government and academia. Through every mission, one lesson stood out: leadership is more than achieving outcomes. It is trust, clarity, and care for people when the road ahead is uncertain.

Many leaders reach out in moments of transition - stepping into new roles, rebuilding culture, or navigating change. Together, we slow down, focus on what matters most, and move forward with character, courage, and purpose.

I’ve seen what happens when purpose fades, and I’ve seen what becomes possible when leaders rediscover their “why,” realign values with action, and lead from a place anchored in service. That inside-out transformation is especially important for veterans and mission-driven professionals who carry deep experience but often face new seasons that require renewed identity and direction.

Partnering together we grow with clarity, resilience, and confidence—realigning identity, purpose, and leadership to create meaningful impact in our families, communities, and workplaces.

My approach is practical, people-centered, and faith-informed. Through coaching, facilitation, and training, we build self-awareness, clarify values and priorities, strengthen communication, and develop habits that support integrity, accountability, and service. Leaders learn to navigate uncertainty, build trust, and lead with conviction.

If you’re seeking clarity, renewed purpose, or support during transition, I’d be honored to walk with you as you grow into your next chapter.
