Give Your Audience Something They Can Use
Your audience is balancing competing priorities, navigating team challenges, and trying to move important goals forward. Their time away from those responsibilities needs to be worthwhile.
Beyond Coaching delivers customized keynotes, workshops, seminars, and retreats that connect with what participants are experiencing. Led by Ricki Braswell, CAE, CPC, each program combines practical leadership insights, relatable stories, participation, and humor.
We begin with your objectives and your audience’s needs, creating an experience that helps participants recognize familiar challenges and consider what they can do differently.
Experience That Connects With the Room
When a speaker understands the decisions, pressures, and relationships an audience navigates, the conversation can go deeper.
Ricki brings more than 20 years of executive leadership experience to Beyond Coaching’s speaking engagements. She has led nonprofit organizations, navigated changing markets, strengthened teams, and worked through the realities of organizational growth and sustainability.
Her experience as an executive coach and organizational strategist informs presentations that give people space to reflect, challenge familiar thinking, and explore practical ways forward.

Make the Learning Relevant Beyond the Event
An engaging session is valuable. Its lasting usefulness depends on what participants can bring into their own decisions, conversations, and responsibilities.
Beyond Coaching designs programs with practical takeaways, thoughtful questions, and opportunities to connect the material to real situations. Longer formats can provide additional time to work through challenges and consider next steps.
The aim is to help participants leave with something they understand, can use, and are willing to put into practice.
