Paul Russell

Disruptive Thinking Coach

We live in a world where AI can optimise everything except our instincts. In the rush to automate, streamline, and predict, we’ve forgotten something crucial: how to think clearly, ask better questions, and define what “good enough” really looks like.I coach leaders and teams to do just that.My work sits at the intersection of human behaviour, decision science, and strategic coaching. It’s about helping people cut through noise, get unstuck, and move forward — not with perfect answers, but with thoughtful direction.
