Rick Stecker, Director, Grounds to Grow Coaching

Today, Rick works as an effective business performance coach, the Director of his own business, and an author. But that’s a long way from where he began. His first job was as a reporter for a daily newspaper. Still, that evolved into a successful 25-year career in corporate media and communications at national and international levels.

But when a buyout abruptly ended those days, Rick was compelled to move into marketing and financial services. But he found those fields less than satisfying. It was during those years, however, that the coaching concept caught his attention, and Rick decided to make the jump. Using his career experiences he created his own business, Grounds to Grow Coaching (www.groundstogrowcoaching.com). Now, he offers his expertise, knowledge and wisdom to those who want to take their own businesses to the next level.

Along the way, he also became a published author, writing "Make Choices like a Champion." I wrote for others my entire career,” he says. “Now I write for myself, and for those who want to make a difference with their performance.” Rick is currently working on his next book for entrepreneurs, “You Mean, I’m a Brand?”
