When the Work is Complex, Clarity is Everything
Mindful consulting for leaders, organizations,
and foundations committed to social change.
Social change doesn’t happen in straight lines.
It happens in rooms full of competing interests, underfunded budgets, exhausted teams, and leaders who are doing their best under enormous pressure. It happens when someone steps in — not to take over, but to help everyone in the room find their footing.
That’s what R2 Consults does.
Randy Russell brings several decades of ground-level experience in nonprofit leadership, philanthropy, and social change — combined with a mindfulness-based approach that helps leaders and organizations move from struggle to strategy, and from intention to impact.
