PLAN TO BE YOUR BEST® | Resilience & Leadership with Rick Cram
This channel supports people navigating chronic pain, grief, stress, burnout, trauma, and leadership pressure—helping them build resilience that lasts.
I’m Rick Cram—Resilience Coach, strategic communications advisor, trained caregiver, speaker, and author living with chronic pain since 1975. After seven surgeries and decades of leadership and caregiving work, I created PLAN TO BE YOUR BEST®, a practical framework for resilience in real life.
At the core is a simple method: Tune In → Plan → Be Your Best
On this channel you’ll find:
• Resilience coaching for pain, illness, grief, and overwhelm
• Leadership resilience for executives and teams
• Conversations on identity, purpose, faith, and becoming
• Live resilience coaching and guided encouragement

Portia, I'm so looking forward to our conversation today because you possess a powerful resilience and wisdom, both of which I know will enrich us and encourage us.
One of the questions I'll ask is...
What helped you feel understood during the most challenging seasons?
(I've found there's something uniquely encouraging when we are understood.)
