#creatingrainmakers
International Keynote Speaker, Consultant, Mentor.
grab a cuppa and
have a listen…
Rainmakers are the result.
From baltic boardrooms in Aberdeen to blazing stages in Dubai, I’ve helped 100,000 professional services pros turn pressure into performance – and talk into results.
As CEO and co-founder of KWC Global, I’ve worked with 500 organisations across 6 continents – including the Big Four and top global law firms.
Want your team to sell with confidence, lead with clarity, and win the big one?
SPEAKER
I bring the insights, hard lessons, and big wins in 3 ways:
When event organisers want a keynote that’s spiky, energising and impossible to forget, I get the call. Raise the roof.
Give me the flat spot after lunch – I’ll give you the keynote they remember.
No slides. No fluff. Just a flip chart, a fat marker, and the mighty KWC Wonderwall – your bespoke vault of tools, takeaways and sharp thinking.
Delegates laugh, scribble, challenge me – and leave with something useful.
It’s kinetic. It’s commercial. It’s never what they expect.
I bring more insight – aye, probably more mischief – than a strategy away day with a 6-figure invoice.
Bold enough to book me?
I’ll give it everything I’ve got.
Just tell me where to aim.
I work with leaders, experts and delivery teams to turn capability into commercial firepower – creating rainmakers at every level. Get pitch ready.
The best pitch teams don’t wing it.
They rehearse. Rewrite. Scrap the deck. Rewrite again.
I challenge them to ditch “trusted advisor” and show up instead as critical partners – practised, prepared, punchy.
Precise.
My clients are industry heavyweights, Big Four firms, and teams who bring me in to improve the run rate on their biggest bids.
Let’s win the work you really want – in the room, on the Zoom, in the hybrid halfway house (you know the one – half Zoom, half boardroom, all chaos).
The top table doesn’t hand out second chances.
I mentor professional service pros to become confident, commercial thinkers. Together, we identify their second serve – the shift that could transform everything. Find your second serve.
I create rainmakers out of reluctant professionals.
The kind who’d rather do anything than talk about themselves – never mind sell.
I’ve spent 25 years mentoring professionals to think commercially, speak with conviction, and build relationships that convert when it counts.
Aye, we’ll drop in the hard stuff:
Assertiveness. Self-regard. Optimism. Persuasion.
You’ll get a sharp nudge, an eclectic mix and a wild ride.
Mentoring’s not for everyone. But if you’ve got the ambition I’ve got the moves.
Enough scrolling. Time to get results.
Keynote. Consulting. Mentoring.
Bring the brief. I’ll build it to stick.
CONSULTANT
The first keynote was in Vegas. MGM Grand.
100 delegates. Pre-lunch slot. No slides.
25 years – and over 100,000 professionals – later, the KWC Method from the company I co-founded still teaches top teams how to win their biggest pitches and own the conversation at the top table.
From legal and accountancy firms to global consultancies, my work lives where the stakes are high…
But it all started with one programme – and one big idea.

Russell inspires you to change what you think and how you act.
Presenting to a packed room of hundreds or thoughtfully running a small group training session, Russell is funny, spiky and startlingly effective.
Choose him as a conference speaker for 90 minutes in the flat spot after lunch. Have him as a lively and contrarian panel expert. Invite him to be your bid consultant for that 300 million dollar pitch. Pick him as a strategic forum facilitator who gets results.
