Heston Russell

Spending 16 years of serving in the military Heston Russell lead elite teams and completed over 100 combat missions with the Special Forces. He found inspirational purpose defending and protecting those who were innocent – and taking the fight to those were not. 

But transitioning back to civilian life was challenging. Feeling irrelevant and isolated, he almost gave up on life. In this harrowing moment, Heston realised the person truly holding him back was himself. 

He experienced the trials and tribulations of accepting his sexuality, struggling with his mental health and combating a growing culture of entitlement. Learning leadership, developing a high-performance mindset and mentoring motivation are critical components of his success and subjects he loves to speak on to audiences from all walks of life.

Heston will take you through his lived experiences learning, testing, failing and succeeding in the fundamentals that can be taught and harnessed to achieve personal and professional performance above expectations, while delivering a culture that thrives in crisis and grows stronger with both success and failure.

Heston is on a mission to use his experiences learning leadership and human performance to help solve real world problems and empower people to achieve their full potential.
