JAMES RUSSELL
My goal is to help everyone overcome challenges and succeed.
Through workshops and practical tips, I aim to improve business operations, focusing on areas like efficiency, HR, and finances.
I also connect business owners with useful resources and industry experts.
I understand the unique challenges business owners face and provide advice that fits their needs.
I help businesses grow by giving them custom solutions to make their operations more efficient and profitable.
Former Special Education teacher with over a decade of experience turned education consultant, specializing in helping businesses find the right solutions to fit their unique needs. After transitioning to the private sector, I saw how much businesses needed support in areas they didn't have time to address.
I started connecting with companies to understand their challenges and match them with the best vendors—always prioritizing what's best for the business, not the vendor. I'm passionate about helping companies attract and retain top talent with more thoughtful compensation options, all while simplifying operations and cutting costs to drive growth. Let's work together to make your business thrive!
