    Russell Smith: Major Capital Energy Projects Advisor & Moving Beyond Ambassador

    On this episode of Leading by Nature, Russell Smith joins Giles Hutchins for a wide-ranging conversation about purpose, transformation and the future of leadership in the energy sector. Russell reflects on the personal reason for being that has guided both his life and career - a deep curiosity, a passion for integration and a “courageous optimism” about the future. He also opens up about two deeply significant life events that reshaped his outlook, sharing the lessons they taught him about resilience, perspective and what truly matters.
