More about Rick:

Rick Smith is the founding CEO of World 50, cited as one of the world’s most influential senior executive networking companies. He is the co-author of the Wall Street Journal and Business Week bestseller The 5 Patterns of Extraordinary Careers, which has been sold into 13 languages and remains one of the top-selling professional career books of all time. His latest release, The Leap: How 3 Simple Changes Can Propel Your Career from Good to Great hit shelves in
September 2009 through Penguin/Portfolio.

A leading commentator on careers and professional and personal success, Rick has been featured by more than 50 media outlets. A once struggling executive recruiter, he momentarily broke out of the pack with a successful book only to be fired in the aftermath. And that’s when the journey of discovery began. Reviving an idea he had had several years earlier for top-level peer-to-peer exchange groups, World50, one of the world’s largest, most successful professional networking organizations was born.

Rick has interviewed hundreds of people in fields as varied as healthcare, retailing, community service and fashion to discover how they turned their careers from ordinary to extraordinary.  What he discovered is both dramatic and counterintuitive – that people who turn dull careers into deeply fulfilling ones, all follow a similar path. It’s this process that Rick shares with his audiences and it’s one that everyone can take.
