Rick Gillis - Careers expert Rick Gillis has spent thousands of hours advising highly experienced professionals across the nation. The universal problem that he came to recognize among his clients was how very few were capable of expressing or willing to speak to their commercial value and identify their own personal WOW! factor that decision makers require. Recognizing this as a cultural problem, Rick wrote his newest book, “PROMOTE! Your work does not speak for itself. You do.”
PROMOTE! is based on insight Rick has gained from coaching as well as his own corporate/personal experience. The concept is simple: Rick will show you how to professionally promote yourself and all that you do for your organization and especially to those to whom you are professionally at the mercy of: Management.
The author of 5 books on careers & employment, Rick has been seen and heard on radio and TV across the US, Canada, the Caribbean and Australia; noted and quoted by The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Inc., BlackEnterprise, Univision, Forbes, CIO, NPR, PBS, the HuffingtonPost and BusinessInsider to name just a few. Rick has spoken live from coast to coast to coast: East, West & Gulf!
Based in Houston, TX, Rick is a US Air Force veteran, a Forbes contributor, a member of the Forbes Coaches Council and holds a Bachelor of Science Management degree from Park University.
