From Prejudice to Philanthropy - Rich Parsons

Rich was a preacher's kid and grew up knowing the bible truths. But somewhere along the way, he was infected with a prejudicial mindset. He could be around other ethnicities but he came to the awareness that he didn’t treat all people the same. After entering the military, he went to a bar-b-q that was predominantly black people who were making slurring remarks to him and that is when he became aware of how hurtful not treating people right could be. He knew he had to change that mindset. He deliberately started putting himself in situations where people of color and sexual preferences that he didn’t agree with congregated. He learned that people are just people. You don’t have to agree with them to treat them with care and respect. While in the military he coached and mentored people in the areas of leadership, communication, and human resource management. He thus became familiar with John Maxwell and determined that he wanted to take his certification course and do some type of mentoring and coaching for a post-military career. The pandemic spawned an “E” magazine to provide a platform for businesses to share their voice and market their businesses which has become well known. Currently, he is developing a mindset course and a transition course called Become an Interview Rockstar. (Hint: It’s about beefing up your job interview skills.) With his experience, Rich can be of help in numerous areas of life. If you know you need help here’s how you can reach him: Call: 719-896-118 Email: [email protected]
