Rick Endres speaks to business groups about issues that will shape their future

Rick Endres speaks on business and technology
Looking for a speaker who can motivate and entertain your audience? For more than 30 years, Rick has spoken to business organizations in the US and abroad on how and why organizations should leverage technology.

Rick speaks from experience. As CIO of the US Congress, he prodded Congress to modernize its networks and provide transparency to the public. As director of business development at Transpace Carriers, he worked on pioneering efforts to commercialize NASA's Delta rocket. As president of The Washington Network, Inc., Rick works day in and day out with managers and owners of small and medium businesses and associations, as well as with leading technology and workplace productivity vendors.

A lot of serious stuff, but Rick never lets the weight of the topic get in the way of a good laugh.

10 THINGS Your Competition IS DOING To Put You Out Of Business – This Year – And What You Can Do About It!

Rick's newest presentation highlights the opportunities — and the dangers — presented by sweeping, ongoing and exponential change in technology and business strategies.
 
How will you cope with radically new ways of doing business? With new forms of competition? Can you keep doing what made your business successful in years past?

"I don't pretend to tell people how to run their business," Rick says. "But I offer a somewhat unusual perspective. In my job, I get to help clients stay 15 minutes ahead of the curve, and their competitors, when it comes to workplace technology. It's my job to evaluate whether new technologies are reliable and if they pay dividends. I get to see what works, in the real world, long before others do."




Change Ain't Easy

Technology is constantly changing at an accelerating pace. Change can be hard to accept in business, but nowadays if you're not at least open to change you might get left in the dust by your competitors. I see it all the time within some of my own clients. Even convincing some that my speech about technology and business is important can prove difficult at times take a listen to the below phone conversation.

Audiences react to Rick's presentations: Read and hear 


  • "Your talk yesterday was one of the best I've heard since I've been in Rotary. You made some wonderful points that lit a fire in me, had great delivery with your terrific sense of humor, and had the audience in the palm of your hand. Congratulations."

  • "Enjoyed your intellect and your humor."  Listen:


  • "Your presentation was wonderful. I was at a task force meeting later that day talking about social media and networking, mentioning a few other things you brought up. Thanks so much for sharing the rest of your presentation. You are are a natural and always such a pleasure to listen to (and laugh with)."

  • "I found the information fascinating!"  Listen:



  • "Thanks, Rick. Your talk was GREAT.  We really enjoyed it."

  • "You have a very good grasp of what used to be labeled as "organization" and "management."  It is amazing how these concepts have evolved. I now understand a bit more how the younger set coming out of the business schools are approaching things. Not only do they have the energy to hustle but they have tools that we never had."

  • "Your talk on Friday with the Capitol Hill Staff Training School challenged me to a new level of integrity...  I appreciate your enthusiasm and talent; most of all, though, I will remember your example as a busy man taking the time to help out punk college kids like me and crazy third graders like those at your church."

  • "You have a wonderful way of speaking on the 'every man' level. Sitting in the right-hand side audience (I'm sure the other side was the same), I can tell you that what you were telling them was being heard for the first time. you held your audience's interest by making them feel part of your presentation."

  • "Your presentation was spot on. These are issues my partners and I have wondered and worried about for some time. Maybe this will be the "tipping point" that gets us to act. Thanks for sending me your notes and slides, although I doubt I'll be as entertaining when I share them with my partners!"

  • "Get Rick Endres to do a Networking Seminar and I will pay to come!"

  • "Rick's material should be a mandatory part of every college curriculum.  I could listen to him all day."

  • "Awesome!  Very practical and powerful information.  I know right now that Rick Endres has changed my life forever."

  • "Excellent. Outstanding. Invaluable. Mr. Endres should have his own weekend seminar all to himself."

  • "A 10! I learned an incredible amount from this. I plan to employ his methods ASAP!"
