This isn’t fluff.
It’s the exact internal recalibration I walk high-level women through before they:
Restructure their teams
Step onto bigger stages
Launch their next 6- or 7-figure brand
Or simply regain their sanity and power in business
I created this framework after years of watching brilliant women build something beautiful—then burn it down from within.

The Harsh Truth:
Where Money and Love Collide
This keynote offers a psychologically-backed approach to staying connected in partnership by choosing mutual alignment, communication, and personal ownership. Participants learn how acknowledging their own faults creates trust, reduces conflict, and strengthens long-term relational resilience; even while building their business. Also included are the common breakdowns and harsh realities of non-intimate relationships amidst business development. This topic can be modified to provide psychological value with a greater focus on maintaining an active marriage, or with a greater focus on healing from marriages that have already been dissolved [adapted to suit your audience].
Room To Breathe:
Creating Space for Introspection and Integration
This keynote teaches leaders why growth requires intentional pauses for reflection, integration, and recalibration—not just relentless action. Attendees learn how introspection strengthens decision-making, aligns identity with strategy, and ensures that each new level of success is grounded, sustainable, and congruent with who they are becoming.
Building Trust:
The Fastest ROI in business
This keynote shows leaders how trust is built through small, consistent, and highly practical behaviors that immediately strengthen credibility, safety, and connection. Attendees leave with clear, repeatable action steps they can implement the same day to create teams that follow with confidence and collaborate with ease.

"Working with Rikki has been transformational.
Her thoughtful communication cuts through the noise and her unwavering support creates a safe space to explore goals and fears.
As a result I gained concrete clarity around my career direction, healed patterns in my personal life, and developed a more grounded, intentional spiritual practice. Rikki doesn’t just advise — she helps you move the mark and sustain real progress."
Tom Pfanner
Founder at Dads Who Lead
"Rikki’s coaching goes beyond business strategy. She took the time to understand who I am as a person and a leader. This outside perspective helped me create a roadmap that took into account not only my business but my strengths and weaknesses as an individual.
She’s able to quickly pull things out of my personality that are holding my business back. Things I couldn’t see myself. This allowed me to address the root cause of our challenges. The pivot saved me a months, possibly years of struggle.
She quickly helped me set up a plan for me to focus on and blow through the sticking point of my business. Thank you Rikki,"
