Meet Brian

Crafting a Personalized Spiritual Formation Plan to Fuel You for the Life of God's Dreams

“You feel you are hedged in; you dream of escape; but beware of mirages. Do not run or fly away in order to get free: rather dig in the narrow place which has been given you; you will find God there and everything. God does not float on your horizon, he sleeps in your substance. Vanity runs, love digs. If you fly away from yourself, your prison will run with you and will close in because of the wind of your flight; if you go deep down into yourself it will disappear in paradise.”

Gustave Thibon

When you need to develop a strategic plan, collaborate on a speech or presentation, or think critically about your next steps, Dr. Russell can guide you. He helped me plan, stay focused and develop a work product I was under deadline to deliver. He is an active listener that can unveil revelations and open up new alternatives you may not have considered. His guidance was vitally important and favorably regarded. I would highly recommend him when seeking an executive coach.

“It was great to work with Brian. He encouraged us to share with him the areas in which we wanted to experience growth. Brian helped us see challenges from different perspectives. He also brought clarity to things we were facing both in our professional and personal lives. His counsel was insightful and he provided concise take-aways on which we could reflect throughout the week. Brian has become a trusted advisor and friend.”
