Richard Coughlan, Ph. D., is an associate professor in the Robins School of Business at the University of Richmond. In addition to being an award-winning educator, he has consulted and advised many Fortune 500 companies.

Dr. Coughlan also hosts the highly-acclaimed "C-Suite Conversations" at the University. A master interviewer, he has interviewed notable leaders from all parts of the business, non-profit, education, and sports world. You can find recordings of past interviews here. They are highly recommended. As he shares during our discussion, he puts in many hours of preparation for each, and it shows. He says his aim is to ask questions of his guests they have never been asked before. 

Richard and I have a wide-ranging discussion where he shares keen insights on decision-making, negotiation, and other areas that business owners are sure to benefit from.
