Richard Ambrosius: Testimonials / Client List

"I engaged Dick to be the keynote speaker for the first annual Quest, an RLS Summit. Dick is an extraordinary communicator. He captivated our audience of senior housing marketers and managers. His material is thought provoking and timely for those who work with an aging population. His tremendous sense of humor makes it easy to drive home key points. We have had requests to bring him back again and I am sure we will as his teaching had an immediate impact on our sales and management teams"

He can charm a consumer audience; hold the attention of a board of directors, and get down to brass tacks with management and front line service providers. When it comes to understanding the balance between what's ideal and what's practical in a given situation, he is as good as it gets."

"Dick was a positive aging guru back when “aging” was still a dirty word. He’s been at the forefront of helping businesses target and capture mature market consumers for decades. In 1996, Dick helped us initiate our branding strategy and whole approach to ageless marketing, which was so innovative at the time we’re still benefiting from it today…and so are our clients! He’s a wonderful mentor, an insightful consultant and a great motivational speaker."
