"I really appreciated the massive effort and excellent quality of everything you delivered.
It is already paying off. This morning we unblocked a long time negotiation where extreme positions made it impossible to find a common agreement. It is amazing how quickly it works"

"I first started working with Russell around 4-5 years ago as I began my managerial career at Briggs Equipment. To say we hit it off straight away would be a lie, he told me a few home truths which nearly forced the laptop lid shut, however after a couple of days reflection and licking of my wounds, I woke up. What he said was true, I just could not see it. Since then, his input to helping me understand myself and others better has been the foundation to building on my career to take me to the position I now have at Briggs. Even today, we joke about that first call, I won’t let him forget it, because it was the start of a journey I never thought I would go on. Russell comes highly recommended.."

"Ten years in the finance industry means I’ve endured countless training sessions, the three days spent with you had more impact on me than all of the others put together!
Sally Nolan - Director of Business Development
Marston Holdings
"I really enjoyed this training and got a lot out of it. I thought I would learn to create better PowerPoint presentations and how to speak with confidence, in reality the training does a lot more. Russell helps you assess your own strengths and weaknesses, carefully breaking down why you do certain things and how to make improvements. There were so many useful hints and tips when presenting but also in other aspects of working life. One of the best training sessions I have attended, I could not recommend it highly enough"

"Russell’s coaching style and support is first class, he knows how to deliver key information and discovered what made me tick. His positive attitude is infectious, he is patient and empathetic and could relate the modules in the training material to any daily challenges I may have been facing at the time. During and since my coaching with Russell my confidence has vastly grown. I have received two promotions within the company and now manage 12 field-based employees. I would like to think I am walking proof that with the right coach and support you gain more knowledge, confidence, and will rise to the top!"
Gemma Beddow - Head of Customer Relations Briggs Equipment UK Ltd
"Russell played a key part during my coaching, ensuring I stayed on track to achieve my objectives, providing support in times of need and challenging me to produce work to the best of my abilities. Russell's approach to his work was always first class showing a real interest in me from a personal perspective and also in a professional capacity putting my development at the forefront. I would sincerely recommend Russell for any business or leadership training requirements".
Mat Smith - Strategic Account Director
Briggs Equipment UK Ltd
"During the 7 years I have known Russell (and more recently working directly for him) I have always found him to be passionate about customer services and a genuine pleasure to work for. His ability to balance getting the best out of his team whilst maintaining a "human" approach is one that is much appreciated and engenders long-term loyalty"
Jeff Broadbere - Head of Distribution & Events
Euler Hermes UK
"I have worked with Russell over many years whilst at Lex Vehicle Leasing and Chubb Plc. He has an unusual mix of 'high performance' sales culture whilst maintaining a healthy commercial reasoning. He champions 'real' customer care and is capable of transforming under-performing sales organisations. I found him to be 'fun' to work with and really valued his dynamic approach at all times"
