I'm Russ. I support non-profit executives, boards and teams. I leverage more than three decades as an executive coach and workplace culture consultant in healthcare, human services and the non-profit transformation sector to help the team you are on maximize its impact opportunities.

 

I am usually invited through the leadership door when pressure is acute and the familiar fixes have been exhausted. Its the point that culture is furnishing silent survival scripts, often unspoken and just beneath the surface. This is the place where ethically serious teams are ready to experiement with different ways of showing up. I support their emergence through custmoized organizational developm

 

ent interventions. The outcome: greater intentional alignment that generates sustainable ways of work, leading and living.

Renewal Circles,

WorthPlace Collective

Many individuals feel stuck at work—neither burned out enough to leave nor fulfilled enough to stay. Over time, they make compromises to a narrowed identity and conditional self-worth. Wellbeing seems elusive, even if leaving isn’t truly desired. Professional Renewal Circles support for those who believe there’s more to their story.


I host a studio for conscious conversations with executives and teams -- conversations that get

to the heart of the matter.

​

Why "The Emergence Group?" Eventually, pushing harder hurts more than being honest, aligned with one's self. We begin to show up differently, authentically. Perhaps its a steadier way of speaking, clearer sense of the critical, a presence less anxious, as it requires less friction, effort.​The Emergence Group is Russell's professional services firm -- we deepen social impact through conscious decision support for ethically serious boards, executives and teams.
