Richard Priest spent 27 years in the music business working as an artist manager, tour manager, and record label head. Traveling internationally for decades, producing shows and tours, he has lived in London, New York, Beijing, and Los Angeles. His career took him around the globe dozens of times and saw him hone his skills in bringing creative ideas and aspirations to fruition. As an artist manager, he most valued the pastoral care aspect of the work, helping people to identify and realize their ambitions, working closely with them to develop a show, a tour, an album, or a music video. The most rewarding aspect overall was helping creatives find winning strategies and hone their focus in order to reach their potential. 

Coaching allows Richard to utilize his wealth of life experience and share his decades of skill, helping people develop the tools to meet future challenges and discover their own inner resourcefulness.“It’s endlessly rewarding to help people self-actualize,” he says. “In coaching I get to lean into my skill of working one-on-one with people, just as I did shepherding artists through their careers. It’s deeply satisfying when someone realizes what they’re capable of and, with coaching, we get to see that happen. It’s inspiring to help someone recognize a path forward, and a joy to be able to dedicate my time to support people as they realize their full potential.”
