Susan Schultz, Managing Director, Design Trust Ltd.

Russell led an insightful, engaging workshop that had our members buzzing with ideas. But even better was that he followed up with each attendee AFTER the conference, to offer encouragement and practical applications from the workshop. His approach to communication is so impactful that members want to bring him back for another session!

And, he is extremely easy to work with—from initial conversations on how to shape his presentation to best suit our group, through post-conference communication—everything was clear, organized, and on-schedule. On behalf of Design Trust, book Russell for your event, you will not be disappointed.

I have long known Russell as a strong leader, but I did not know how effective he would be at leading and coaching other leaders. Russell’s training and coaching energized and excited our team, created invigorating conversation afterwards, and is actively changing the way we will interact with one another within our organization. Highly recommended.

Roy Keely, CEO & Founder of Firm Studio

“From working as an executive at a technology company to becoming CEO of my own accounting tech startup, Russell has really helped me develop as a leader at work and home. He asks the right questions and is a great listener which helps me navigate the challenges of a growing family and business.”

Mickey Bufalini, Partner & Principal of Collaborative Design Group, Architecture & Interiors, LLC

“How do I even start?! Russell in one single meeting changed my staff and their way of thinking, it was absolutely jaw dropping. Now rooted in the Giant program with Russell as our coach we have been communicating better. For example, the gossip in the office has disappeared with a technique Russell taught us all. He has strengthened our teams and how they are working together. In a short time, my team leaders have noticed a significant difference. Our Monday morning meetings have been improved, the quiet voices are heard, and the meetings are running more efficiently. Best of all, we are getting more accomplished. I highly recommend Russell Cravens as a coach for your firm and for your personal life. This truly makes a difference in all aspects of your life.”

Matt Man, President/Owner at La Gloria Land Company

“I’ve seen Russell build great teams for more than two decades. His own experience as a leader and unique gifting as a coach makes him someone to whom I look often for wisdom. I look forward to our regular meetings which help me assess where I am at and where I need to go in the future.”

Chad Clarkson, Executive Director at Houston Church Planting Network

“Russell has partnered with us for more than a decade to strengthen church leaders. With his help we are seeing good leaders develop into great leaders and make incredible impact on people throughout the city of Houston. He is a skilled coach with a great system that works for every type of leader wanting to increase their influence. Without reservation, I recommend him often to anyone looking for leadership coaching.”
