Russ’s WHY: To recognize and nurture the dignity and power of the human spirit.

Russ believes that it is time for radical disruptions in the fields of consulting, coaching, and counseling. New developments in these areas, along with neuroscientific research, are beginning to help organizations and individuals realize that our general approach to human development has been the primary purpose of manipulating people to do more for less and/or leading them to believe that they can just power-through areas of their lives that are not working. New consulting, coaching, and counseling models are needed to enable people to better understand themselves in order to overcome organizational or self-imposed limitations in an effort to live happier, more productive, and more fulfilling lives.

Charla’s WHY: To help every person I meet know that they matter so that they participate and engage powerfully in every aspect of their life. 

As a coach since 2012, Charla has learned that one of the most important things a coach brings to the coaching relationship is themself. One’s values, beliefs, and experiences have as much to do with their effectiveness as a coach as their skills and training. She has the training and certifications, but she believes that her powerful life experiences impact and inform her coaching and her instruction as much as, if not more than, her formal training. She wouldn’t trade any of her life experiences, easy or hard, for the highest degree, yet she still has an insatiable hunger for learning. Charla looks forward to learning and growing with you, as you embark on this journey.
