Ricky Skiba Life Coaching

Ricky understands people and has a natural talent for identifying motivations and helping others realize them. I've seen him in action and he deploys his insights with the exemplary modesty. He is a powerful speaker as a result, and as I've told him many times - it's a pleasure just hearing him speak about things that he's passionate about. Helping others is one of those things, and I can't think of a better pair of hands. More...

Ricky approaches life and every situation in it with a unique drive. His genuine passion allows him to engage with others in a way that lets him truly connect with who you are and what you are experiencing in that moment. He is able to quickly build rapport with even the most challenging demographics and populations that he works with. Ricky is able to use his expertise to drive cognitive change, build accountability and foster appropriate personal and professional behaviors amongst those he works with. When you are around Ricky, one of the first things that you will notice is his truly engaged and active conversation and listening style.
Having interacted with Ricky in Professional, educational and personal settings over the last decade I can wholeheartedly say that his professional presentation is above reproach, his personality and zest for life is contagious, and that he not just cares about you. He drives you to be your best self, to chase your passions and dreams. Ricky does not force this on any one around him. The undertones of his style is to lead by example, demonstrate positivity, and encourage compassion for all whom are around him. This is a unique set of attributes and one that will ensure an emotionally connected yet professionally sophisticated approach to whatever situation Ricky is helping you through. More...

I met Ricky over 5 years ago when we were both counselors at an environmental school. Ricky’s uninhibited joy is magnetic to everyone around him, and his adaptability and happiness is supported by a thoughtful, researched, and well-experienced philosophy of living. Ricky has a profound understanding of what it means to be human and an innate ability to empathize with everyone he meets. Ricky was my first mentor in the field of environmental education, and he supported and encouraged me in my journey into sobriety, a cross-country move, and a career change, among other, less significant challenges. I know that every time I speak to him I will receive a genuine, honest, and loving space to be. He continues to be an integral part of my personal, professional, and spiritual growth. I cannot think of anyone I would trust more as a Life Coach. More...

I cannot recommend Ricky enough. Through my time with him, I've been encouraged to take concrete steps towards living my best life, even when it's scary - especially when it's scary. My interactions with him consistently leave me feeling validated and empowered, with keen insights that I can bring with me confidently into the world. Thanks for being such an important part of my life journey. More...

Ricky is not only passionate, curious and invested but he also sees the best in others and is so eager to empower everyone around him. I leave each of our conversations better than when I entered; empowered not just within myself but also to take action in my own life. More...
