-
- Self-Improvement
Dr. Russell Thackeray works with organisations to achieve enhanced performance and results by aligning culture, leadership, and people and he helps embed change that creates organisational resilience.
He draws on his varied professional background – from his time as a professional musician in London’s West End to subsequent iterations as an entrepreneur, corporate CEO, Non-Executive Director, Operations Manager, therapist and coach to deliver strategies and skills to improve performance and facilitate change.
Russell is also the host of the popular Resilience Unravelled podcast that gathers guests who share stories of their challenges and learnings to provide an overview of how building resilience can make a real difference and help people facing similar challenges.
Russell joins me today to discuss how he moved into his fifth and current career as a coach and the links between all of the roles he has had that have led to him sharing his expertise and empowering others to enhance their lives.
He shares his commitment to lifelong learning and why he enjoys challenging himself and developing his skills by continually undertaking programs of formal education and gaining new qualifications.
Russell also shares his opinion on how the disruption and challenges of the pandemic have changed the way we operate in business, how people have coped from a resilience point of view, and how that will continue moving forward.
“We’re going to fail, we’re going to pick ourselves up, and we’re going to reinvent ourselves on a constant basis.” Dr. Russell Thackeray
