Practical development.
Built for recruitment companies.
Rather than delivering one-off training courses, we partner with recruitment businesses to understand where you are today, where you want to be, and how to build the capability to get there.
Every programme is tailored to your business, because no two recruitment companies are the same.

What our clients say
“He brings global experience across different sectors, translates big ideas into practical tools our team can actually use, and has a knack for challenging people in the right way. On top of that, he’s simply a top bloke who genuinely cares.
Beyond the training room, Russ has been a sounding board and strategic partner for our senior management team. We no longer see him as an external consultant but as part of the business. That comes down to the way he embeds himself, the care he shows, and the impact he’s made.”
— Eamon Murray, Director, DNA Healthcare Recruitment
“Russell has delivered his very appealing 10 step training program and has been drilling home the fundamentals with the team, which form the base of the one-to-one coaching moving forward. More holistically he has been working with myself and my co-owner on wider business goals & implementing a strong foundation which keeps every person inside the organisation accountable and aligned. What has stood out is the ability to retrofit the training sessions around the Change DNA, rather than boiler plate content, which we have tried historically”
— Mike Carter, Co-Owner, Change Recruitment
“The results have been outstanding. We've seen measurable improvements in both activity and revenue, and, most importantly, we've been able to celebrate multiple promotions off the back of improved performance. The feedback from our consultants has been overwhelmingly positive, and the value they've taken from the sessions has made the decision to bring Russell back for further training an easy one.
Beyond the formal training, Russell has also been incredibly generous with his time. He's always happy to have a conversation from a broader business perspective, offering practical advice, ideas and guidance whenever I've needed it. That level of support goes well beyond what you'd normally expect from an external trainer.”
— Chris Crolla, Director - Sydney, Ambition
“Whether consulting, training, or coaching, Russell simplifies challenges and inspires those around him to achieve more than they thought possible. His ability to drive success and build capability while fostering a collaborative and empowering environment is second to none.
Working with Russell feels seamless. There’s no ambiguity, no ego…just a shared mission to create impactful results and leave businesses better than before. He’s someone you want on your team, in your corner, and walking alongside you on your professional journey.”
— Natalie Jafaar, Director, Talent Solutions Group
