Suite Talk by Unidine: Recent Episodes
Richard B Schenkel
Hello and thank you for tuning into Suite Talk. I’m Richard B Schenkel. I have been a CEO, Founder, President, entrepreneur, and C-Suite disruptor for 35 years. It does not matter what industry you serve, as a leader you must harness the power of a strategic vision. Mine has always been to create a culture united in purpose, that highlights the most important ingredient for companies to have a successful recipe – people.
Over the course of my career, I have been privileged to forge deep connections among leadership veterans, gaining inspiration from their actions and insight from their decisions. But not everyone has direct access to the executives around the boardroom table whose thought leadership transforms organizations. Join me to unlock the closed doors of the C-Suite in my new Podcast, Suite Talk, where I’ll speak with key executives at the most impactful companies as we take a journey inside the complexities of leading senior living, healthcare, behavioral health, and corporate services across America.
Each month, I will meet with powerful, respected executives to genuinely share their leadership philosophies, learn how they tackle key industry challenges and transparently discuss their vision for the post pandemic future. You can expect to hear a diverse array of senior leadership perspectives as they share their transformative journey to the C-Suite. Tune in monthly to advance your top tier professional development as I bring my entrepreneurial spirit and innovative approach to Suite Talk.
