Meet Rita Ricks
Rita Caldwell Ricks is unlike any other person on the speaking circuit, because she coaches everyone in her view. Her wisdom, wit, energy and encouragement are the catalysts to inspire her listeners to renew the person within. She speaks to your spirit by sharing her own life experiences. She is a Spiritual Coach, Business Coach, Inspirational Speaker, Workshop Facilitator, Award winning Entrepreneur and the author of two books – PERMISSION GRANTED! A JOURNAL OF SPIRITUAL EPIPHANIES and #JUSTFORTODAY.
Rita began her career as a middle school teacher and her gifts have led her to being a successful entrepreneur for over 35 years – first as a partner in a fashion boutique, then the founder and CEO of Mirror Enterprise INC. (MEI) a professional and personal development training company. MEI offered training in areas of Leadership, Diversity, Customer Service and Team building.

In 2011, Rita completed the RUAH School of Spiritual Direction where she was trained in the ministry of Spiritual Direction in the context of Contemporary Urban Christian Spirituality. Several of the assignments required her to Be silent for 24 hours where she learned how to Listen in the Silence and it has ultimately changed the trajectory of her life. Listening allows persons to identify their passion, embrace their gifts and follow their purpose. As a Spiritual Coach, Rita coaches her clients to move from Confusion to Clarity…from a life of feeling stressed out, frustrated and stuck to one of total joy and fulfillment. Her purpose is to show her clients how to remove the barriers preventing them from creating the life they were born to live and enjoy a more fulfilled life of Purpose, Peace and Passion. She offers Laser(one on one) Coaching and Group Coaching.
