Perspective
Strategic Advisory and Personal Mentoring

Fostering meaningful growth through insightful exchanges and innovative solutions for people and teams.

The Power of Perspective

It’s easy to get tunnel vision when you’re deeply involved in your work or personal life. An outside viewpoint can reveal hidden options and highlight the most effective paths forward.

Personal mentorship can help you learn new approaches to personal growth and relationships, leading to a more fulfilling and balanced life. Fresh business development ideas can spark innovative strategies, driving sustainable growth and success. Reviewing and optimizing project management practices can enhance organization for individuals and boost efficiency for businesses, ensuring you stay focused and achieve your most important goals.

I've had my fair share of setbacks over the past 20 years as an entrepreneur, business developer, social innovator, and world traveler. Having a trusted confidant for open, honest brainstorming has been my key advantage for uncovering hidden opportunities, igniting new ideas, and fueling innovative solutions.

Driven by relentless curiosity and a knack for solving tough problems, I’m here to help you tackle your challenges. Let's chat.

About

RichKapp

I’m Richard Kappel, a passionate problem solver driven by intense curiosity and a love for innovation.

My entrepreneurial journey began early; I exited my first company at 24 years old in Chicago. Since then, I’ve founded a nonprofit and a social enterprise startup, and led a team of volunteers in Lisbon, organizing design thinking workshops for social impact brands. I approach every challenge as an opportunity to not only employ strategic thinking and drive meaningful change but to heighten my level of understanding about the world and myself.

With over 20 years as an entrepreneur and business developer, I’ve honed my intuition and developed a unique approach that blends practical strategies with a deep understanding of personal and professional growth.

Seeking feedback and surrounding myself with mentors has provided invaluable perspectives, guiding me through complex challenges. Now, I’m passionate about helping others navigate their own unique journeys.

My love for solving problems and curiosity about trends and industries, combined with my diverse experiences, make me a powerful asset for businesses and individuals, helping them achieve their highest aspirations and transform their lives and organizations.
