I have had the pleasure of working with Ladd Richland over the last several years and I acknowledge Ladd as a highly insightful and knowledgeable transformational agent who has helped guide our firm through our most challenging and successful times.
Our offering has the complexities of high-end consulting assignments, and Ladd’s knowledge and insight have been invaluable in identifying and closing significant opportunities. I’ve worked with other advisors and am part of a small business round table group… having Ladd’s advice is very different… someone who has actually built, led, and sold a business successfully.
I’m a copious notetaker and Ladd’s advice is “book worthy”. What I captured during my sessions with Ladd has amounted to a “how-to” or “what now” reference guide.

I have been incredibly blessed to have many coaches over my career and none of them have been more valuable to my recruiting business than Ladd Richland. Following his input, our company made a huge pivot this year that was risky and necessary. That pivot not only saved our growth issue but accelerated it to all new heights. We have more than 5X our revenue since working with Ladd and we expect to 10X next year! In addition to his acute business knowledge and expertise, he is amazing to work with. I truly look forward to our calls. They are fun and exciting and even though it's not always what I want to hear... it's what I need to hear to elevate myself and our company. He is much more than a coach or mentor; he is someone who truly cares about you and has your best interest at heart. Above all, he is a great friend. If you are considering a coach to think deeply on situations or problems, analyze decision making, or you're just trying to innovate for the future... you WILL NOT go wrong working with Ladd. You can trust me on that 100%

He recognized that we needed to re-evaluate our Mission, Vision and Values, and needed to define a set of behaviors that would propel us into the future as a market leader. Through a series of interviews, exercises and coaching sessions, I am pleased to say we are well on our way to transforming our company into a polymer manufacturer with an extremely bright future with unlimited product lines. He helped us “open our eyes” and recognize that our fields of gold were in our own backyard. We are so pleased with the level of strategy that he brings, that we have added him to our advisory board and we continue to use his coaching services for several of our management employees. His fresh perspective has allowed us to “unlock” our potential and has created a level of enthusiasm at Command that I can only compare to our founding years.
