Helping people reconnect to see differently

Rick Lozano is the originator of Creative Reconnection™ — The process of returning to the creative, curious, connected way of seeing that noise and overwhelm have compressed out of us.

You don't have fewer options. You're just seeing fewer options.

Something interesting happened

I brought my guitar to work. (It wasn’t my idea.)

But something clicked.

New possibilities emerged.

I saw the world differently.

And when I brought a musician’s lens to my work, it changed the entirety of my career.

And, the funny thing is, it was always there.

I just couldn’t see it.

But that moment revealed an intersection I couldn’t unsee – music, leadership, creativity, and real human connection.

And once I saw it, everything shifted.

Now, I help others reconnect to that same possibility.

A quick rewind

Before I was a keynote speaker, I was:

A performing musician and songwriter

A leadership development expert

A damn good facilitator
(I still am!)

And someone navigating the tension between ambition and alignment

What I do Now

Today, I create music-infused keynote experiences that help people reconnect to clarity, energy, and forward motion—especially when they feel stalled, distracted, or worn down in a constantly changing world.

I help audiences:

Yes, there’s a guitar involved.
And laughter.
And often a volunteer on stage.
But the real instrument is the experience itself.

Why music is part of the work

What’s your jam? You know, that song that lights you up, reenergizes you when you are tired. That tune that instantly changes your mood and sometimes has you dancing when no one’s looking? (Or, maybe you are that dude on the dance floor. Rock on!)

That’s the power of music. It creates a shared experience. It brings people back into their bodies and reduces defenses.

It helps us reconnect.

I don’t use music as a gimmick. I use it as a language—one that helps ideas land, stick, and resurface long after the event ends.

what i've been doing lately

Along the way, I’ve been:

Delivering experiential keynotes for organizations and conferences across industries and countries
Writing, my third book – Creative Reconnection: How Smart People Restore Clarity and Possibility in a Noisy World
Earning my Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation
Building practical frameworks that help people unlock possibility with what they already have
Continuing to write, perform, and record original music

And that’s great—but it isn’t what drives what I do.
What matters most are moments like this:
“A lot of people can train.
A lot of people can speak.
But what you did moved me.”
That’s what moves me.

What people tend to notice

Clients often describe me as:

…my wife uses other words to describe me.

Why I Do This

At the heart of everything I do is one simple idea:

Reconnection changes everything.

When people reconnect—to themselves, their work, and each other—clarity returns.
Energy follows.
And forward motion becomes natural again.
That’s the work.
That’s the experience.
And that’s why I do what I do.
Let’s rock.
