About Rick Chromey
Insight. Inspiration. Ideas. My name is DR. RICK CHROMEY and I help people interpret history, navigate culture and explore faith so they can create transformative change in their homes, at school or work. I am a cultural historian, leadership professor and inspirational speaker. In 2017 I founded MANNA! Educational Services International, a faith-based nonprofit organization that serves leaders, teachers, pastors and parents with insightful and inspirational “edu-trainment.” I’m interested in people and how humans are motivated. A lot of my messages help audiences understand how to motivate productivity, learning and behavior without incentives. For teachers and parents, I often speak on why kids misbehave, proactive discipline and classroom management. For leaders and employers how to “lead with style” and/or recruit, inspire, and retain volunteers and staff. Since 2020, I’ve scratched a new niche: American history. As the Lewis and Clark historian for American Cruise Lines (Columbia/Snake Rivers), I enjoy conversations about our grand story. If you have a history angle you wish to explore, let me know! As a podcast guest, I want our conversation to be easy, unique, engaging and fun. So if you book me (and I hope you do), plan to laugh and learn together. It’ll be a fast conversation! We can cover a lot of topics or just one thing (diving deep). In the end, what I hope you find in me is AUTHENTICITY. I want to be real with you, your audience, my story and my mission. And I have some great stories to tell! Ultimately, I want to bring your audience INSIGHT. Spark some IDEAS. And leave them INSPIRED… wanting more…with a smile. Including YOU…the host!
