About Scotty John Russell

You ever lay in bed wide awake at night, staring at the ceiling?On the outside, everyone thinks you’ve got it together. But inside, it’s knots of stress, doubt, and pressure no training ever really touches.I get it. I’ve been there.For years, I was the guy people could count on — a leader at work, a provider at home, solid on the outside. But at night? I was replaying every mistake. Beating myself up. Numbing the stress any way I could.Eventually, I had to face the truth: I was an addict.That breaking point forced me to see what I’d been running from — the hardest battles weren’t in the workplace, or even at home with my wife and kids. They were inside me.That’s what set me on this path — recovery, mentorship, and eventually becoming a John Maxwell Certified Coach. Along the way, I discovered what most leadership programs miss: it’s not about adding more skills. It’s about clearing the inner blocks that keep us from showing up fully.Later, I trained in advanced conversational hypnosis. That’s when it clicked — breakthroughs don’t have to take years. They can happen in a single conversation. I’ve lived it, and now I help leaders experience the same freedom.Because when you’re free on the inside, you show up with clarity, confidence, and presence. And that’s when you become the kind of leader people love to follow.If this hits home, let’s talk.

1. John Maxwell Certified Coach, Speaker & Trainer

   John Maxwell Team

   Feb 2021 — Present · Seattle, WA, US

   As a John Maxwell Certified Coach, Speaker, and Trainer, I am deeply passionate about leadership because I believe, as John Maxwell says,\"everything rises and falls with leadership.\" Throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand how the strength of leadership determines the success of teams, organizations, and individuals. Today, I feel that the value of true leadership has diminished, and it’s my mission to help teach and train the next generation of leaders.I’m committed to sharing the principles of effective leadership with aspiring leaders, ensuring they have the tools, mindset, and self-awareness to lead with integrity and purpose. Leadership isn’t just about managing people—it’s about empowering them to achieve greatness, and I’m driven to instill that in every leader I work with.
