Rich has taken our company by storm! He has made a huge difference for me, and for our organization. Rich is truly amazing.

Rich Chapman is one of the finest organizational leaders I have ever known. And he is a first class human being. Any leader would be well-served to pay attention to his counsel.
— L. William Siedman (1921-2009), former FDIC Chairman and Economic Advisor to Presidents Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush
Rich is a man of principle. He has been an inspiration to his associates, and to our organization. His insights, mentoring, and practical advice have made me a better leader and a better person. He practices what he preaches. I recommend him without reservation.
— Alan Tubbs, CEO - Onward Bancshares and former President of the American Bankers Association
I have been a student of leadership for many years, and my consulting work allows me to observe and assist many in their leadership roles. Rich Chapman is the best leader with whom I have ever come into contact. He has spoken to management teams, at my invitation, and he always hits the mark with inspiration, wisdom, and guidance. When people ask me what a good leader looks like, I simply point them to Rich.
— Robert E. Miller, former Managing Partner - McGladrey and Pullen
I have worked for many high powered leaders in my career and Rich is among the very best. Rich builds high-trust cultures where individuals are absolutely free to surface creative thinking which is affirmed, challenged or refined, and then guided in an environment that helps people and organizations find their true potential. My years working with him helped me to understand and realize my own potential. An hour with Rich is an hour well invested.
— Mark Pletts, Managing Director - Waypoint Capital Advisors
Rich did an outstanding job for us. He engaged in tailoring his message to align with attributes familiar to 3M to prepare for our meeting. His messages hit spot on, was enjoyed by all in attendance and his follow up after his presentation was great. I would recommend him for any 3M events in the future!
— Tom Wolff, DEM – 3M Engineering
We had Rich close out our company -wide Fall Conference. We received feedback from many attendees that it was the best Fall Conference in many years. Rich was on point, had clearly done his homework on our industry and was the perfect closing speaker to have everyone leave charged up and ready for action. I highly recommend Rich!
— Brent J. Christensen, President & CEO - Minnesota Telecom Alliance
Rich speaks from his own experience and the experience of the successful individuals he has led and worked with when he talks about leadership, mentoring, and entrepreneurship. He understands this topic like a science, and the messages he shared with the students at our Lead Now! conference about proven leadership qualities provided practical, everyday guidance. Rich’s candid insights had a tremendous impact on many young leaders that day.
— Kristi Noem, Governor of South Dakota
Rich knows the difference between management and leadership. His messages are inspirational and enthusiastic, yet grounded in practicality.
— Patrick J. Donovan, former Chairman & CEO - Bremer Bank
Our company invited Rich Chapman for a presentation on Leadership to our Market Presidents and Department Managers. Rich did an outstanding job of weaving his uplifting and motivational message in with our company’s six core values. In essence, Rich went the extra mile to tailor his presentation to our audience and our corporate culture. We have engaged several ‘leadership’ speakers in the past and none of them took the time to customize their presentation like Rich did. The result was a captivating, highly meaningful presentation that earned Rich one of the highest survey ratings ever achieved by a speaker presenting to our company. I highly recommend Rich for your next corporate event.
— Rich Hoban, Chairman - Frandsen Financial Corporation
Rich was more than having someone come in and speak in general terms. His preparation and interest in our organization was above and beyond what I have experienced with other speakers. His ability to listen to key leadership points that were important to our organization and then speak on these points with specific examples was great. Some of his examples are still discussed in our leadership meetings. I have recommended him to other CEO’s and would recommend him to other organizations that want a speaker with lasting positive impact.
— Corey M. Parnell, CEO - Boeckermann Grafstrom Mayer
