Russ’s approach to team building and group facilitation is focused on helping groups and teams to maximize their effectiveness and overcome obstacles that may be blocking their success. His team building programs provide participants with insights, skills, and knowledge that will increase their personal effectiveness and ultimately, the effectiveness of the entire group. Russ is very familiar with a variety of assessment instruments to enhance understanding of one’s self and others as well as how well the team is currently functioning. It is an established fact that adults learn best doing. Russ’ team building programs capitalize on this fact and utilize structured and engaging activities for people to interact with one another to share their experiences and insights. In his team building programs, participants take an active role in jointly experiencing an event, reflecting on it, and sharing what they learned from it. Russ’ goal is to create an environment where quantum shifts in individual and team performance not only become possible, but common.

Russ, thank you for guiding my team and me yesterday. I am very optimistic and hopeful as we begin this new chapter. Thank you for being gentle when we needed you to be and thank you for being firm when it was necessary. We, as a high-performing team, knew this would not be an easy process. You did a wonderful job in opening our minds and hearts to understand the areas we must improve upon to move forward.
Bruce Dmytrow, Vice President, CNA Insurance
