Meet the Founder

Richard “Buss” Brauer

Richard Brauer is a celebrated motivational speaker and is the founder and President of Blue Skies USA. He is nationally recognized as a “high-content” presenter whose insights have been put into practice by private enterprises, non-profit organizations, governmental agencies, and influential associations.

As the recipient of accolades from both the US and Kansas Departments of Labor, Richard has enjoyed a progressive thirty-six-year career with a global manufacturing organization working in the private company, corporate, and private equity ownership arenas and has held executive positions in the areas of Human Resources, Talent Management, and Organizational Development. Through the execution of introspective executive coaching and leadership development initiatives, he has inspired and orchestrated cultural transformations for companies engaged in plastic extrusion, aerospace, auto manufacturing, social media, software development, insurance, and professional sports industries, allowing those companies to enjoy the full potential of their human capital.

In addition to the responsibilities associated with meeting the needs of the Blue Skies USA clientele, Richard has presented over 350 keynotes, and delivers dozens of motivational seminars every year on the development of essential organizational programs, introspective leadership concepts, and effective workforce realignment strategies. His transformation concepts are based not on theory alone but on lessons learned as he fought to deny the adversity of losing his sight from inhibiting a successful career.

Striving for that balance in life and understanding that success isn’t about what you have but what you give, Richard has had the honor of traveling across North America for the past twenty years serving, in his free time, as a spokesperson for Leader Dogs For The Blind promoting social understanding and creating opportunities for those facing vision loss.
