Where strategy meets humanity
arickard was founded with a simple truth: when people feel grounded, supported, and clear—everything changes. Created and led by Abigail Richard, arickard is a consultancy offering HR support, coaching, and leadership development that blends emotional intelligence with practical delivery.
Whether working with founders, fast-growing teams, or professionals navigating change, the focus remains the same: clarity, alignment, and presence—across leadership, operations, and life.
A strategic HR consultant, leadership coach, and author. With a background in global recruitment, operations, and team development, I bring both sharp insight and calm presence to every partnership. Through arickard, I support businesses and individuals who are ready to grow—not just in scale, but in depth.
My work is guided by the belief that real change begins with honest reflection, and that personal sustainability is the foundation of professional success.

Our Core Values
Clarity over complexit
We bring grounded, structured support—cutting through the noise. Whether it’s an HR process, a leadership challenge, or a career shift, clarity is always the first step
Presence over performance
Leadership isn’t about titles or appearances—it’s about how you show up, especially when things feel messy. We support leaders in staying present, calm, and connected in real time
Empowerment through truth
We don’t offer quick fixes or fluffy motivation. We guide you to face what’s real—with compassion and honesty—so your growth is rooted, not rushed
Wellbeing as a foundation
We don’t separate performance from wellbeing. Sustainable results come from regulated teams, grounded leaders, and individuals who trust themselves
Co-creation
No one-size-fits-all solutions. Everything is built with you—your pace, your culture, your truth. Collaboration isn’t a process step; it’s a principle
Our Commitment
We support businesses and individuals at the point where real growth happens—where clarity meets tension, and transformation becomes possible.
Whether you’re building a team, refining your leadership, or navigating what’s next—we’re here to help you do it with integrity, intention, and impact.
