Stressed Doctor

"Stress and rigorous work schedules push a doctor to commit suicide every day in the US: ‘We need them, but they need us.’ "

Stressed nurse

"It became clear to us that they were under just as much stress and just as vulnerable [as physicians] but had been largely ignored and forgotten."

“The expectation that we can be immersed in suffering and loss daily and not be touched by it, is as unrealistic as expecting to be able to walk through water without getting wet.”
Remen

Emotional Intelligence

EQ is a scientifically proven methodology to uncover issues and to provide a roadmap of how to address the needs of each individual. EQ pinpoints opportunities to improve their well being, speaking, teamwork, leadership, and stress management skills. Clients are guided to work on topics they are comfortable with discussing.

Inner Work

No matter how strong the person, First Responders are immersed in negative emotion and conflicting feelings every day. Tools such as meditation and grounding can be used to protect themselves from the difficult situations they face. Letting it go is healthier than burying it.

About Us

Alfred Ricci
Alfred Ricci, MBA
Founder

Alfred Ricci has 15 years of teaching personal development workshops, including methods to release severe stress and trauma. Rising from the ashes and harnessing the power of his early years — living in shelters, group homes, and a foster home while attending six high schools in four years — Alfred reveals how even the most daunting obstacles can be overcome.

While working in 20+ countries as an international banker, Alfred Ricci experienced some very stressful business cultures. Combining his experience of releasing trauma with his knowledge of the massive stress of corporate life, Alfred's mission is to share the necessary skills to thrive in traumatic work environments.

While working with many people who were traumatized, it became necessary to create methods to release the negative energy (secondary PTSD, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma) received from his clients. Personal experience with traumatized clients led him to share these skills with First Responders.
