Podcast Episode 009: Todd Russ
Today we’re interviewing Dr. Todd Russ. He’s the Executive Director & Director of Ministry Leadership at Grace in Action. Sounds like the perfect person to talk to, right? He’s become a great partner in helping schools move forward, and a friend, too. Whenever we get together, we have awesome conversations about culture and ministry and leadership and, of course, thriving. In this episode, we talk about his journey in education and ministry, as well as a topic that’s close to his heart and mine: how coaching is such an important tool for all of us, no matter our role at a school.
Listen in as we talk about what he’s learned about thriving in ministry, what makes coaching one of the things that helps us move forward, and also a few reasons why people often avoid it.
