Rick Cram

Rick Cram is the creator and author of Plan To Be Your Best …As You Navigate Pain and a Resilience Coach who helps you become the most resilient person you know. He lives by his guiding truth: “The level of pain must be matched by the level of intentionality.” With a background as a communications and leadership expert and trained caregiver, Rick’s own journey—from a life-altering football injury, seven surgeries on his left knee, and decades of pain—taught him that resilience isn’t just surviving, it’s transforming. His signature method moves beyond mere endurance. Through the Eight Paths of Intentionality, Rick guides individuals and teams to turn challenges into direction, build sustained resilience, reclaim energy, and live with purpose. Whether you’re leading through organizational stress or navigating personal adversity, Rick’s whole-person, intentional approach equips you with proven strategies and skills—and emerge more confident, empowered, and resilient than ever.
