Rick Swegan
When Florian Engelke and Rick Swegan first met some time in 2016 in Detroit, USA at a Leadership Development program they jointly facilitated, they quickly realized they were both invested in the driving forces that unite (or divorce) communities, organizations, and teams. Rick brings more than 35 years of business and consultancy experience to the table. He has published books on Thomas M'Clintock (a quiet warrior for women's rights and the abolition of slavery) and work-life balance. Rick offers advice and expertise to individuals who yearn to simplify life, slow down, and get centered, all without compromising their career. Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he is founder and CEO of ARCH Performance, a consultancy specializing in leadership development and assessment. Florian who is based in Berlin/Germany has been publishing music and poetry since 1997. He has been working as a psychometrician, leadership developer, and leadership assessor since the early 2000s. Roughly in 2019 the idea was born to work on a book, The Practice of Ethical Leadership. The primary motive of delving into the word of Ethical Leadership and publishing a book on it has been their believe that the world is in urgent need of individuals who question themselves, credibly strive for the greater good, dissect self-serving biases, and truly want to serve to further the dignity of all life (not just human).
