Richard Carmichael

Community, creativity, the art of the story, a sense for adventure and social entrepreneurship come together in a rare combination of left and right brain functionality that helps me address a myriad of business, social, marketing and communications challenges in life and at work on any given day.

I embrace challenge and enjoy the many hats I get to wear in my daily life. Parenting is the hardest job I have ever had—It has taught me more about the stuff I am made of than any biology class.

I am always willing to share fully and openly the things that I learn and enjoy teaching so others can learn from my experience. I write a lot, daydream often and enjoy building and rallying communities of like minded individuals towards a common and meaningful purpose.

As principal at FRANK, I am a resourceful connector and team builder who employs expertise, experience, intuition and creative talent in meaningful and productive ways for both the corporate sector and not for profit organizations—especially those who do great work in stewardship of the planet and the people who live on it.

Open Source, Web 2.0 and Social Media, Content Creation, Corporate Social Responsibility and the possibilities created by next generation mobile publishing and social innovation technologies are of key interest to me and my most adventurous clients so that is where I am concentrating my focus.

My challenge is to maintain an interesting career working for progressive organizations all over the world where innovation is needed, great ideas are valued, collaboration is key and people, planet and profit come together in sync. Keen to empower your tribe? Call me!
