Rick Harris began his career over three decades ago, working his way up from an employee at his father's plumbing business to creating a turnkey general contracting division. Rick then founded his own full-service plumbing and general contracting company, even returning to purchase his father's business and expanding it with his brother to a multi-truck model that grew from 1M in revenue to a multi million dollar revenue company. Along the way, he developed exceptional skills in managing, leading, and cultivating leadership while remaining humble and curious.
Rick didn't let his successful career in the contracting industry slow him down. After selling his shares to his family, he set his sights on a new challenge as a certified consultant, coach, and trainer. His work ethic and dedication paid off, eventually leading him to become the Head of Coaching at a multinational Canadian-based company, where he focused on driving growth and managing KPIs to achieve top-notch client satisfaction and retention. Rick was determined to carve his own path and achieve his personal goals, leading him to leave his position and start his own consulting practice. Now, as a TEC Chair, Rick is devoted to helping other business owners and entrepreneurs in Toronto, ON, reach success on their own terms.
Rick's perspective and expertise are valuable assets to his members who are navigating the complexities of running a successful business. His passion for building relationships and fostering a supportive community is unparalleled, and his TEC Small Business group provides a platform for leaders to learn from each other, unlock their full potential, and thrive in today's ever-changing business landscape.
