Russ Sabia

Background

With over 25 years of experience in senior organizational and leadership development roles at Fidelity Investments, Monster.com, and UniFirst Corporation, Russ honed his skills in environments of change and rapid growth in organizations of different size and stages of maturity.

Russ's interest in effective leadership began early in his career as an Outward Bound Instructor, and through his later roles in business he began to experience first hand the critical role that strong leadership, organizational clarity, and internal politics all play in the success or decline of organizations.

This interest became a passion for him and eventually led him to start his own consulting practice in 2005 where he focuses specifically on helping leaders achieve better results by improving the effectiveness of their teams and the health of their organizations.

Russ holds a Master of Education degree from The University of Vermont and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Keene State College. He lives with his wife Carol, and daughter Emily in Belmont, Massachusetts.

Testimonials

Bay State Milling Company

“The leadership team offsite you conducted for us produced some of the most important work our executive team has done over the past year to change our culture and improve our effectiveness - not only as an executive team, but as an organization. We were amazed at the progress we made in just two days and we are already seeing results. This work has helped us achieve one of our best years in our history, even within a difficult economic climate, and we are now cascading the models and concepts through the rest of our organization.”

—Pete Levangie, President Bay State Milling Company

Business Administration and Brooklyn Public Library

“The off sites you have conducted for our division have been the most effective and successful we have ever had. They have given us a common language and model from which to work. Trust has increased, debate within teams is more open and honest, the right things are getting done faster and better, and we are making better decisions. All of this has improved alignment within a division made up of several disparate functions, and has helped us "raise the bar" as a division.”

—John Vitali Deputy Director of Business Administration and CFO Brooklyn Public Library

Bayada Nurses Inc.

“The offsite you conducted for us this year has had a big impact on our team over the last several months. We really came together as a team this year and we have accomplished our primary change initiative - which has been a massive project and total team effort. Although it has been a little hairy and often stressful this year, the offsite really helped make the difference to our success. Thank you.”

—Tom Sibson, CFO Bayada Nurses Inc.
