Nan S. Russell Biography

Nan S. Russell is an award-winning author, workplace consultant, and national speaker with a diverse background in corporate leadership, workplace culture, and career development. After earning a degree from Stanford, Russell's career began with a job loss, leading her on a path from minimum wage positions to serving as vice president at QVC, a multibillion-dollar company. Over more than 20 years in management, she held executive roles in human resources, communication, marketing, and line management, and played a key role in leading a culture transformation for 10,000 employees.

Russell later established herself as a recognized authority on workplace culture, leadership, and employee engagement. She has been named a Top 100 Thought Leader by Trust Across America. Her expertise has been shared with a broad audience, including coal miners, Navy engineers, college students, nonprofit leaders, and executives at Fortune 100 corporations. Russell is president of MountainWorks Communications LLC, a company she founded to help organizations build effective work cultures and support individuals in achieving their professional goals.

Russell is the author of five books focused on career development, leadership, and workplace culture, including "It's Not About Time: How to Thrive and Get the Results You Want at Work and in Life!", "Trust, Inc.: How to Create a Business Culture that Will Ignite Passion, Engagement, and Innovation", "The Titleless Leader: How to Get Things Done When You're Not in Charge", "Hitting Your Stride: Your Work, Your Way", and "Nibble Your Way to Success." "Hitting Your Stride" received an Axiom Business Book Award. Russell's work in launching a corporate subsidiary has been covered by Wall Street Journal and USA Today, providing her with a practical perspective on business transformation.

Russell is the former host of "Work Matters with Nan Russell," a nationally syndicated radio show. Her workplace insights column, "Winning at Working," appears in more than 90 publications, and she is a blogger for Psychology Today on the topic of "Trust: The New Workplace Currency." Through her writing, speaking, and consulting, Russell addresses leadership, trust, and culture development in the workplace.
