“Russ is passionate about human relations and appreciates the unique value each individual brings to the community (shared space).
When coached by Russ, you learn that the first “space” to monitor, understand, discover, develop, and embrace is the inner space of each individual.
He helps you to achieve this in a very professional manner whereby he combines flexibility with rigour and seriousness with a fantastic humour, helping you jump from tears to laughter during an intense hour that feels more like a second. Russ is a stunning listener and decoder.
He guides you, challenges you, supports you, through hikes and valleys facilitating, through a vital conversation, the process of getting acquainted with one selves strengths, weakness and talents.
He walks with you with dedication and respect, and he gets you to design yourself and your horizon by drilling into your own resources.
You start with a coach, you end the journey with a dear friend.” (C.C.)
“Working with Russ as a Coach was the highlight of my year in the Global Good Fund Fellowship. His insight, support, and advice transformed the way I think of myself as CEO, leader, partner, person, and soon-to-be-parent. He provided both cheerleading and challenges that made me more thoughtful and considerate in managing my team and how I treat myself. I feel very lucky to have been able to work with him to change how I lead and run my organization for the better. Looking back on the evolution of this year makes me so proud and appreciative. Can’t recommend working with Russ more!” (J.S. 2022)
“Russ has been my leadership skills coach for over a year and he has been simply amazing since day one.
He immediately created an incredibly collaborative environment where I could learn and grow my leadership skills. He was able to support me with specific goals we had set up at the beginning of the coaching process but was also always ready to support me with questions or situations that came up throughout the process. He is professional, patient, extremely knowledgable, customizes his teaching based on your learning preferences and he has always a positive attitude that made me come out of our coaching session re-energized and ready for anything the day would bring me. The skills and the tools he has thought me, have made a huge impact in my confidence as a leader. He really exceeded all my expectations and I would recommend anyone who is in the leadership path to work with him.” (E.M. 2022)
