Change your atmosphere

Most executives plateau not because they've run out of talent, but because they're operating at the wrong altitude

This is where that changes; just as lightning doesn't create energy, it releases what was already charged in the atmosphere; great coaching doesn't install capability, it removes the conditions blocking what's already there

Clarity doesn't come from doing more — it emerges when your thinking, your structure, and your operating rhythm are finally aligned

I work with a small number of executives at a time — typically SES, C-suite, and divisional leaders managing significant complexity and budget

If that's you, let's talk

When performance is no longer the problem, sustainability is

The Executive Reset is a private, immersive experience co-designed for leaders who have achieved at a high level and need to rebuild from the inside out

Not because they are broken, because the machine they've been running on was never designed for this pace

Held at Misty Mountain Manor in Uki, NSW, an architecturally extraordinary private estate in the shadow of Mt Wollumbin, this is 2-3 days of complete recalibration

Nutrition, movement, mindset, and recovery, designed and delivered by a specialist team including executive coach Russell Murphy and health expert Dr Zac Turner

If you know you're not operating at your full strategic capacity and the gap between what you're delivering & what you're capable of is getting harder to ignore, this is where leaders who are serious about longevity come to recalibrate

Total privacy, bespoke design & a small number of executives per cohort

I cannot more highly recommend Russell as a coach, with his positive insight into making a business operate more efficiently and drive better returns.

Greg Hearn

Director, GHFS

Working with Russell was a game-changer. I came in wrestling with strategic clarity—he quickly helped me uncover blind spots, focus my energy, and lead with conviction. His strengths-based, deeply strategic approach unlocked actionable breakthroughs that directly influenced how I launched and scaled.

As a result, I’ve achieved significant business growth and expansion. I’d recommend him to any founder or CEO ready to level up with purpose.

Russ's work with me was timely, focused and enormously stimulating. I’ll be keeping the insights close at hand through 2026

Richard Van Ruth

This was one of the best leadership sessions I've ever attended and with such an engaging speaker; great stuff!

I highly recommend the strengths based leadership session and Russ Murphy as a facilitator.

Are you leading at the altitude your role demands?

Are you leading at the altitude your role demands?

The higher the stakes, the less leadership is about having all the answers and the more it is about setting direction, creating alignment, and enabling others to perform

Take the Leadership Altitude Assessment to identify where you are operating today, what may be holding you at the wrong level, and the next shift that will help you lead with greater impact

You may be highly capable, trusted, and delivering results, yet still find yourself pulled too far into the detail

When leaders operate below the altitude their role requires, they become the bottleneck: decisions slow down, teams wait for direction, strategic work gets deferred, and the organisation becomes more dependent on them

The Leadership Altitude Assessment helps you pinpoint whether you are spending enough time:

  • Setting strategic direction rather than reacting to urgent demands

  • Building leadership capability rather than carrying the load yourself

  • Influencing across the system rather than managing only your direct remit

  • Creating the conditions for sustainable performance, change, and growth

This is not a personality test

Its a practical reflection on how you are showing up in the role you have now
