Here is Richard's speakers bio:

Richard Olson is a seasoned entrepreneur, executive and author. During his executive management career, Richard spent time in commercial banking, mortgage banking, telecommunications, and retail.  He orchestrated multiple mergers and acquisitions and had an affinity for developing strategic partnerships because of what others described as his ability to treat them like personal relationships.

Most recently Richard headed a group in acquiring controlling interest of a publicly traded Nasdaq telecom distribution and service company.  He turned the company around from losses of over $1million annually, to profitability through building a network of 64 locations in 27 states, thus placing it in the top 10 companies in its industry.  The final year he was with the company, The Denver Post ranked Richard in the top fifteen most effective CEO’s in the state based on return to shareholders.

Throughout his career, Richard mentored his employees in both business and finding balance in their lives.  He recognized early on that the people he worked with were mothers, fathers, artists, little league coaches, or hikers first and foremost.   Because of this, Richard adopted a style of management that honored the individual as well as the company’s objectives.   He accomplished this through his memos, staff meetings, and personal dialogue.  Employees and other strategic partners of the company began to keep his memos for their inspirational value and meaning.

Richard was troubled when he saw many people he encountered in business separate their spirituality from their daily activities including their work.  Also troubling was the imbalance he witnessed and experienced among career, family, and personal growth.  His personal journey led him to believe that this did not have to be the case when you lived with an awakened soul.

It is through this experience that Richard founded Awaken The Soul  to bring his message of discovering balance in our everyday life to individuals and to businesses.  He has combined his own spiritual quest in his mentoring, consulting, speaking and writing from a non-sectarian viewpoint.  His published weekly messages are now read throughout the United States and internationally.
