Richard Bucher
It's not what you do that's important. It's what you do next.
Author of the recently launched, It's Enough To Be On Your Way - your path to purpose, Richard has created a road map for those lost in the wrong career or struggling to figure out what it is their world needs them to do.
A regular contributor to CBC Radio and Global TV, he offers pragmatic advice to those in transition. Through his many speaking engagements he helps his audience cut through the fog facing those struggling with career issues.

He is a gifted coach and an empathetic listener. His guidance is born out of his own personal journey combined with academic grounding in transition, career and talent management.

Richard is the product of what he refers to as his "twenty-year desert experience"; a time when he seemed only capable of going from one career misstep to another. He has walked the path of his readers and his clients. He has studied purpose well both through his life and the lives of those he serves. He feels called to connect those struggling with how to write the story of their future; the story of their life.

What readers are saying:

 "I love the questions which ask the reader to go deeper and not just sit in the shallow end of their life experiences..."

"It feels like you've contemporized the career discussion so that it doesn't just look at ...skills, talents, expectations, money, status, hopes, but looks at career from the perspective that it is an extension of who you are."

"Your book is beautifully written, heart-feltpersonal, poignant, and spiritual. ...it helped me consider things from a new perspective and I have been dancing around my purpose for a long time looking for the right fit. Your book does provide a "practical" way to navigate through that and provide hope that is can be found."
