Our organization recently engaged RLR Leadership Consulting for a comprehensive leadership development program, and the results have been transformative. Given that we serve a Native American population, it was crucial for us to work with a consulting firm that understood and respected our cultural context. RLR Leadership Consulting demonstrated a deep respect and understanding of our Native American community. They took the time to learn about our cultural values, traditions, and specific challenges. This cultural competence was evident in their tailored recommendations and the way they engaged with our team. Less

I spent 25 years in the classroom and the last three in administration. I've been fortunate to work in a school district that has partnered with Randy the last two years and his logic and compassionate approach are attributes that I try to apply to my school each day. There are so many things you don't realize as a teacher that an administrator has to deal with each day.

There is an authenticity and sincerity Randy exudes that escapes other presenters. I think it stems from his vast educational experience... he's just credible. But it also comes from his heart. When you're with Randy you feel like the most important person in the room and you leave inspired, energized, and equipped to take your impact and role to an entirely new level. Less

Randy Russell is a dynamic speaker and compassionate leader. He gets us as leaders because he is one. He knows what we deal with and his attitude on how to attack our day is about how we take care of ourselves and how we can sharpen our saw. I met Randy when he was leading a group with Project Leadership and we were immediately bonded because he understood what I couldn't say about where I was at in my struggles as a principal and leader. His remembers things that we talk about and checks on me to encourage me but he is also vulnerable in sharing his own challenges. He has gone through school shootings and knows every level of educational leadership. He subtly challenges me and other leaders with a simple statement of "as evidenced by?" Whether it is success or a challenge we are facing he turns it towards the data because it isn't as personal as we make it. I can call him and he is there for me.

Randy provided leadership training in my district to a combined group from around the area, and he was FANTASTIC! The training was engaging, and full of practical nuggets that my team was able to put to use immediately. In fact, of all the trainings we have done, this one is by far the most talked about, and used nearly two years later. The leadership has been elevated in my district by having Randy here, and I could not recommend RLR Consulting more highly!! The only reason I gave 5 stars, is because 10 was not an option! Less
