“I had the great pleasure of working with Russell on a recent BCODN initiative. Russell brings a unique blend of enthusiasm, practicality and

“Russell is a creative force and a true professional. I witnessed these qualities in action during a recent pilot project collaboration to develop a team building workshop. From the moment Russell signed on, he exuded positive energy and a focus on results. He was generous with his time and expertise in creating the concept for the workshop (which earned a 93% approval rating from students); and shone in helping students to anchor their learning through his insightful debrief and group facilitation. He’s a valuable partner to have in your corner.” |

Personal Recommendations |
“As a university student looking to discover my own personal strengths and weaknesses, I took the CEYA Professional Excellence Program at a crucial time of my career path. I would highly recommend taking one of the Insight workshops because it was definitely worth my time and money. Russell was a professional, and patient coach/mentor when I took the Insight Discovery workshops. From the workshops, the lessons that stuck with me most were actually Russell's personal experiences and meaningful stories. He was a great storyteller which made for a very pleasureful and comforting learning environment to be in.”

“Russell has coached a number of our employees in our company. Time after time I hear how much they have enjoyed participating in the workshops he teaches. Personally, I found his laid back teaching style easy to listen to. Look forward to continuing to work with Russell and CEYA.”James Vallance, Business Development Manager at Apex Communications |
“Russell and I have worked several times together, and has always been able to both captivate interest, and help create awareness. His unique ability to teach you more about yourself and better ways to interact with people is fantastic. I highly recommend working with Russell.”
|
“Russell is an exceptional professional. Having worked on the same project for months, I saw his lively creativity in brainstorming, his insight into human nature and relationships, how he planned carefully and discussed differences of opinions with tact during the storming stage. He responded with grace and respect after unexpected events arose, both in the moment in front of the audience as well as in private to those who caused the disruption. He has an approachable, entertaining and engaging stage presence. His subject matter expertise runs deep, and because he can apply his knowledge of how people function, he is a wonderful asset to have on any team. He was consistently reliable, conscientious, on time and thorough, yet agile and open minded throughout the project. I would accept to be on another project which he is leading, in a flash.”

Russell is an engaging speaker who took the time to cater his presentation specifically to our group. His high energy presentation was packed with useful information about personality types and he also provided an exercise to help our large group identify their own colour preferences.

I am an entrepreneurial and well seasoned executive with over 25 years experience in business financial management and consulting. I obtained my Executive MBA in 1999 from Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, which was a life changing experience for me.
My greatest strength as your business coach is my ability to combine “harder” business skills like strategic planning, budgeting and financial reporting with creative thinking and emotional intelligence to develop and empower you and your team. I am a creative problem-solver, able to assess and develop the four aspects required to develop a culture of excellence - power, passion, people and process.
