About Karl

 

Want me?  Several things you can do.

Just hanging in the office...

I will always be answering my phone – 317-250-9081.  Texting to that cell number is a solid way to get my attention.  My work email is kahlrichs (@) gregoryappel.com.  My personal email is karl (@) expertspeaks.com.

The web site for my speaking topics?  http://www.expertspeaks.com

Office Decoration for the New Era. My mission is to make things simple, point out the irony, and have fun. Everything else is small stuff.

People say I help audiences and clients make order from chaos.  I am a national speaker and writer, and am often quoted in the local and national media.

Currently I am writing a book (Working title “Uncommon Sense”) and am a part of Gregory and Appel.  Founded in 1884, Gregory & Appel is the oldest independently-owned insurance agency in Indiana.

I have done lots of different things, and I hope to do many more before I am done.  Now for the boring bits – prior experience was as a partner at ExactHire, and Senior Consultant for Professional Staff Management, a PEO.  Earlier I was Director of Business Development in the Indianapolis office of Marsh & McLennan, and Vice President of Right Management Consultants, an international human resources consulting and outplacement firm.  At those firms, my clients included Roche, Boeing, Apple Computer, Anthem, and Frito Lay.

I love making connections.  I facilitate an invitation-only roundtable for Indiana CFOs. For more than a decade I was the Program Chair for the state Society for Human Resources Management annual conference.  I am a member of the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM), the American Society of Training and Development, and the Association for Psychological Type.

I have won awards for my work.  I have won an award in every photography contest I have entered (not that big a deal – I’m 2 out of 2)

In 2003, I was flattered to be named the SHRM Human Resource Professional of the Year for the State of Indiana.  I have presented at the Annual SHRM Conference for 10 consecutive years.  I received my B.A. in Business from Indiana Wesleyan University and am enrolled in the Butler University M.B.A. program.

I am learning spanish, have two cats, and live in a brick Italianate house with my wife Barbara…
