"I had the very good fortune of hearing Shola speak at the MPTF Women’s conference about taking charge of one’s destiny. Then I read his book. I shared his book with colleagues and soon, my department realized a better culture and atmosphere. Some at work even tell me my positive attitude is infectious throughout the organization. My staff is enjoying coming to work. They have increased collaboration and striving to reach the highest standards. Shola inspired us all to do better."
ILYANNE MORDEN KICHAVEN | Executive Director, SAG-AFTRA
"Shola provided words of inspiration about building and sustaining our inclusive, kind environment during the physical construction of campus. We were so grateful for the injection of positive energy that Shola brought to our teams. He has a natural warmth and accessibility that draws people in and then his authentic belief in workplace positivity is infectious."
AHREN CRICKARD, JD | Strategy and Operations Executive
Are you doing
your best work?
Do your leaders elevate your people to be more, and not just do more?
Do your people bring their whole and best selves to work, every day?
Does your organization have resources and resilience to deliver results consistently?
Most organizations aren’t sure about where they stand, but they know something doesn’t feel right.
Shola Helps You By
Hi! I am Shola
Over a decade ago, I was drowning in the despondency of yet another workday. My success as the top regional performer had been numbed by a culture of incessant workplace bullying. And, I’d recently made the situation worse by filing a formal complaint. In short, I was collateral damage in a company without the process or intention to address my experience.
Exhausted from the drama, with an unrecognizable version of myself at the wheel, I intentionally swerved off the interstate in an attempt to take my own life. But in that half-second, my reflexes responded, and I yanked the wheel away from disaster. As I clipped the guardrail on I 405, something changed...
I uncovered a power within myself
...a burning desire to reverse a trend that happens daily to sixty-five million people in this country alone. This catalyst has since become Go Together™ Movement - a transformational roadmap of mindset, behaviors, and tools that transform workplace cultures and drive results.
Leveraging my personal experience and the
GO TOGETHER™ FRAMEWORK
I help organizations build compassion, competence, and accountability in the workplace. As a result, sustainable and joyful peak productivity, engagement, and satisfaction become the new norm.

Because
We Are
The illusion that we are separate from each other, more different than similar, is eroding our ability to work, live, and lead effectively. What if we all focused on the powerful idea of ubuntu instead? This transcendent African philosophy embraces the belief that we are universally connected to each other—and Shola Richards suggests it could transform the way we treat others, making us kinder and more respectful to others, on and off the job. Without ubuntu, he argues, we cannot truly live a productive and satisfying life. Go Together is a thought-provoking read that could change our own behavior . . . and the world around us.
