Rikki Goldenberg, Career and Leadership Coach smiling and sitting on a chair

Let’s hang out.

Looking for someone to come in and talk about mindset, productivity or the art of feedback for your organization?

I love partnering with companies, accelerators, and leadership groups to develop bespoke content just for you!

It’s going to be a little strange, a fair bit of fun, and definitely curious.

Topics I speak on

  • Productivity without Rigidity

    Most productivity workshops are about running as fast as you can and shoving in all that you can. That’s the fastest path to burnout. My sessions focus on reimagining your approach to discipline and motivation. I emphasize realism and flexibility over rigid all or nothing thinking about productivity. Together we’ll combat black and white thinking and find systems that work for everyone’s unique approach to work

  • Professional Development & Growth For Leaders and Founders

    Most organizations are busy running their business and don’t have time to think about each individuals unique path to success. Rather than ignoring the importance of developing professional growth plans - I help new managers, leaders, and middle managers figure out how to carve their own path to success at work. How to advocate, collaborate, and position themselves in a way that allows them to have agency in their own development and growth

  • The Art of Feedback

    We hate giving and receiving feedback and navigating tricky communication moments keeps us up at night. I help folks figure out how to develop a feedback cycle that works for them, and invites productive conversation that feels safe yet challenging, and helps everyone improve to their own best version. Through improved communication skills, individuals can feel empowered to say what they need to say - instead of ruminating or avoiding the tough conversations they should be having

  • Building a Growth Mindset as a Founder or Entrepreneur

    Being a founder or entrepreneur is exhausting. I create content that meets founders where they are, fully understands the hurdles they’re facing, and offers ways to build their resource toolkit and skills to support them and avoid burnout. By creating a growth mindset they are able to become grittier, more resilient and navigate turbulent times without losing their cool

  • Navigating a Long Job Search

    A deeply researched and developed session to understand why the job search is longer than expected, the mindset shifts required to be in it for the long haul, and tips and strategies to support a longer than average job search to remain resilient, excited, and motivated through out the process

  • Networking Without the Ick

    Networking is a like a four-letter word. I love to speak about networking as relationship building and community development. With clear tactics, strategies and approach that works for most humans - you’ll learn how to advocate for yourself, ask for help, and manage the emotions that come up with networking

  • Burnout: How to Recognize and Work With it

    Burnout effects leaders, entrepreneurs, parents and founders galore. By being able to recognize, name and learn about burn out we can create strategies that support us and the help we need to succeed

  • Leadership Presence and Confidence

    Acting as a leader is easier said than done. By building our confidence, communication strategies and visioning work, we can show up at the table in a way that feels authentically aligned with our values and who we want to be as leaders

Hear from past audience members and participants

  • Bringing Rikki on board to work with our leadership team helped us better align the executive team and address challenges linked to growing and scaling a company. Rikki’s workshops put us in a position to derive processes that we leveraged and scaled as we brought on new employees. After our initial sessions we continued to leverage the tools and skills that Rikki introduced - they were that helpful. As a CEO and serial entrepreneur, it’s essential to surround yourself with people that will push you to do your best. Rikki does that, all the while making me laugh really hard.

    Jean-Pierre

  • If you're planning your next leadership or career event, you need Rikki on stage! She's not just a speaker - she's a powerhouse of wisdom, boldness, and inspiration, with a playful spark that keeps everyone engaged. One of the best coaches I've ever had - highly recommend!

    Huma

  • This presentation felt like a breath of fresh air

    Nicole

  • If you’re looking for someone to bring thoughtfulness, humor and compassion to the topic of burnout, Rikki is the best. She leads dynamic and engaging group conversations that create space for reflection and lead to break throughs that change how you’re thinking about how you’re working and living.
