Not just inspired.
Equipped.
Every program Rusty delivers is built on a published framework, customized to your audience, and designed to leave people with tools they’ll actually use — not just a feeling that fades by Friday.
The WILD Leader
Wisdom Inspired by Living Dynamics. A leadership framework built from five of nature’s most effective behavioral systems — and road-tested across 700+ stages with over a million people.
The WILD cycle — Watch, Interpret, Lead, Develop — is the organizing framework. Five animals bring it to life with five concrete leadership moves that every leader can name, remember, and use the moment they leave the room.
- Five concrete leadership moves — named, memorable, immediately applicable
- The WILD cycle: a repeatable framework for watching, interpreting, leading, and developing
- A new way of reading people, rooms, and organizational systems before acting
- Confidence tools specifically designed for reluctant and emerging leaders
- Leadership language they can use with their teams the next day
The ABCs of Leadership for College Students
Twenty-six principles. One interactive workshop. Every participant leaves with a written personal leadership action plan they built themselves — before they walk out the door.
This workshop doesn’t lecture students about leadership — it walks them through it. Built directly from the book, each of the 26 principles is active, applicable, and immediately relevant to the leadership situations students face on campus and in life. Designed for orientation, retreats, student org training, and first-year leadership programs.
- A personal leadership action plan — written, not just discussed
- 26 practical principles distilled into one powerful session
- Clarity on personal leadership identity and strengths
- Immediate application — not theory to revisit someday
- A framework that scales from student org to first job
Built for every stage.
Deployed at every scale.
From half-day intensives to multi-session leadership academies, executive coaching, and full leadership retreats — every program is customized to your audience and grounded in Rusty’s published frameworks.
Customized Leadership Development
From half-day intensives to multi-session leadership academies, Rusty builds programs that move teams from leadership aspiration to measurable, lasting performance. Theory into practice — every session.
- Customized to your team’s specific stage, sector, and challenges
- Strategic leadership for emerging, mid-level, and executive teams
- Measurable impact on team cohesion, communication, and performance
- Backed by published curriculum — not improvised content
Executive & Leadership Coaching
Private coaching engagements for leaders at any career stage — from high-potential early-career professionals to seasoned executives seeking refined performance and legacy-level impact.
- Clarify leadership vision, priorities, and personal brand
- Improve team influence, communication, and executive presence
- Build resilience, strategic decision-making, and performance under pressure
- Accountability and momentum between sessions
Leadership Retreats
Full-day and multi-day immersive retreat experiences for student leadership teams, corporate teams, and nonprofit staff. The ABCs Workshop and WILD Leader frameworks are both built for retreat formats — deep, hands-on, and built to last beyond the room.
- Immersive full-day or multi-day experience
- Team cohesion and shared leadership language
- Individual leadership plans every participant takes home
- Framework continues with companion resources post-retreat
