Humanizing Commerce
Some corporate leaders consider culture, engagement, and 2+2=5 outcomes to be intangible hoohaw. But decades of research clearly show that layoffs have a negative affect on productivity, losing customers, profit, and even bankruptcy. Our team has decades of experience in creating transformative cycles of change in the lives of individuals and companies
We are here to help you integrate your various teams into a singular culture after layoffs. The methods we use can be unbundled to provide smaller, incremental improvements in manager effectiveness, employee engagement, and ultimately, improved outcomes like more profitability, bigger ROI, and higher productivity. It’s no accident that we’re the people you call to help fix your, “People Problems” during critical phases in the life of your company.

About Me
Ric Taylor, MA, CEO
Ric is on a mission to help others create more meaning in their lives. He left a 20-year career as a manager in IT after a large company acquired his boss’ startup with the promise that they would not change the culture. After the transaction, the two company cultures were more at odds than ever. The startup ultimately closed its doors. People lost jobs, the parent company lost money, and everyone lost faith in the 2+2=5 scenario that is frequently promised during M&A efforts. After that, Ric put his master's degree in psychology to work and opened a private psychotherapy practice focused on working with executives and couples. This personal, gritty work led Ric to develop a methodology for personal and professional growth that is the basis for Touchbase Services. He is a father of 2 kids and an avid trail runner and musician.
