Richard Chandler, MA LPC

Richard Chandler Executive Coach and Strategic Consultant

CEOs and business owners have found value in consulting with me on their challenges including business relationships between partners or members of the executive team.

My background in business includes decades of self-employment, business, and management consulting work.

Over a three-year timespan, I trained three levels of management at Polaris Industries of Minnesota. I will help you to evaluate your dangers and profit-producing opportunities.

What I learned while earning my master's degree in psychology from Adler Graduate School and as a Minnesota Licensed Professional Counselor helps me to bring owners and CEOs, business partners, and Leadership team members insight on how to effectively deal with friction and complex relationships with key personnel.

I help owners, CEOs, and key executives to focus on their most profitable opportunities to build more significant margins, increased cash flow, and long-term success.

Increased profitability allows businesses to move more boldly towards medium and long-term goals of greater market share through effective digital marketing, leadership competency of team members, and effective processes to deliver consistent results.
