The Infinite Game

As a healthcare leader, Business As UnUsual is just as relevant to healthcare teams as it is to corporations. Healthcare systems globally are deeply challenged with talent shortages due to burnout. Business As UnUsual is a foundational body of work collating knowledge from self-mastery, neuroscience of change, biology of high-flow teams, and transformational leadership. Rick synergizes this wealth of practical tools for both personal and organizational shift with his depth of coaching experience on a global level.
