Rick La Roche has used the lessons and skills he learned in BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL) training and in his time with the "Teams" to succeed in a variety of endeavors, including authoring “Forty Tools For Life” and "Chasing Life." He has competed in the Swedish Survivor (Robinson) reality TV series at 70 and the Swedish survival series Alone at 73.

He holds a BA and MA in political and economic geography and has lectured at universities in the U.S. and Sweden. He has managed companies in the U.S., Europe and Asia.

Rick is passionate about the mind-body connection, motivation, self-improvement, grit, mental toughness, mindset, resilience and successful aging. He is a husband, father, grandfather, passionate rugby player, adrenaline and dopamine junkie, blogger, fitness and health freak, pilot and adventure/awe-seeker - not always in that order. Rick lives by his life philosophy:
"You are what you believe you are"
Humans are not born with mental toughness, motivation and resilience—we learn it, adapt it and improve upon it. The same is true for organizations, systems and societies. Learn about strengthening and aligning energy to achieve a healthy life balance, become more resilient and develop mental toughness.
Of all the battles you must fight, none is more important than your first – the battle of mind over body. And to do that, you need mental toughness and:
- A growth mindset
- Grit
- Resilience
Leadership and teambuilding are key skills. As corporate leaders explore how to elevate the effectiveness and professional excellence of their working teams, we can learn a lot from special forces. Navy SEALs and other high-performance teams have mastered teamwork and leadership and so can you. Good leaders must perform effectively at high levels, think clearly under stress and work more efficiently under pressure without compromising their health and wellbeing. Human energy is a critical resource. Without it, where are we?
- Leadership
- Teambuilding
- Energy management and performance recovery
Companies, organizations and educational institutions alike can benefit from tailor-made presentations that will help you achieve sustainable positive change and become mentally tough and resilient.
Trident Consultancy can help you make sense of the VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) world that we live in today. The pace of change is positively dizzying. The business environment, for example, is changing at warp speed. New technologies allow you to work 24 hours a day, which means that performing consistently at high levels is becoming increasingly more difficult – and necessary. Trident Consultancy will help you understand and thrive in a constantly changing world, have a good time, learn and walk away with powerful ideas and tangible tools and techniques.
