Your typical business coaching relationship is a 1-1 relationship, almost universally. However, if you look at nearly any professional sport and nearly all high-level amateur sports, you will find multiple coaches as part of a fully fleshed coaching strategy. In 2001, when we started Q-Max Technologies, we asked ourselves the question: what value is there in providing a second set of eyes and ears in the structure of a business coaching relationship?
Russ Rosa is a Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Q Max Technologies, a Performance Management Consulting Organization that creates innovative methodologies for peak performance outcomes. It is his own entrepreneurial passions that are exemplified in the delivery of these breakthrough systems to the clients and their organizations.
A self-proclaimed entrepreneur who, upon graduating Villanova School of Business, became a successful corporate sales and executive management leader within the communications and technology industry. Seizing the opportunity to harness the passion for building his own business, he aggressively opened his first retail operations with dynamic regional expansion within the first 2 years of opening the business.
As the industry and business climate for “resale” changed abruptly, he quickly realized that what he now learned from his own experience in business that the demand and value of “breakthrough” thinking was integral to an executive’s ability to get past current plateaus of thinking and consistent self propelling success.
With 15 years of legendary coaching that reaches elite academic institutions such as Villanova School of Business (#1 Ranked in 2016), Becker College, and Drexel University, Russ Rosa is better known as the Russ of the Russ + Blake coaching team that has made transformational and lifelong relationships with undergraduate and graduate students excelling at their own careers through the “distinctions and proprietary” programs designed for effective long lasting impact.
Additionally, his coaching acumen at the enterprise and corporate level has touched such distinguished executives from Audi Corporate/Regional Audi Dealerships, Harrah’s, LinkedIn, SAP, Deloitte, Bluefield Medical Center, Mehary Medical School, Christiana Care Hospital
and such entrepreneurial startups as Translator, Assemblage and Rebel Group.
Russ Rosa’s ability to leverage his profession in coaching lead him to be an active member of the Villanova Entrepreneurial Executives (VUAEE) acting as a key advisor for the Entrepreneurial Society and it’s annual Social Entrepreneurial Competition.
Russ’s distinguished thought leadership in transformative coaching techniques has awarded him an invitation to participate at the esteemed Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) based Think Tank on Transformational Thinking.
As a Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Q Max Technologies, a Performance Management Consulting Organization that creates innovative methodologies for peak performance outcomes. Blake Edmonds is an experienced HR Executive with deep roots in executive recruitment, and a forerunner in the placement of disabled individuals into companies looking to create a diversified and open culture of inclusiveness for their employees.
Driven by performance and creating highly productive teams, Blake successfully managed 6 teams of associate recruiters who built Raymond Karson Associates into an Inc. 500 company and illustrated clearly the impact of successful placement and alignment of talent to position.
At a key executive position at Research Pharmaceutical Services his rapid rise to the Head of Operations allowed him to continue to utilize his visionary and pioneering skills to implement a corporate coaching program and a radical training program that changed the nature of industry turnover from a national statistic of 85% to a company record of just 2% annually with a parallel revenue growth of over 1000% increase in his first year.
Blake Edmonds continued his passion for coaching and executive development through a serendipitous encounter with a CEO of a retail/wholesale client asking for his input and guidance on creating corporate unity and cultural identity. The result led to a 150% increase in the number of satellite locations within 6 months and a 600% increase in revenues over the first 24 months.
The “seed” of creating a business out of “coaching” was born in tandem with Blake’s passion for assisting executives into their next career move. He successfully teamed up with his current partner, Russ Rosa, to create the infamous Russ + Blake coaching team. Blake’s straight forward coaching complements Russ’s more laid back approach to benefit the client with a well-rounded and synergistic method of delivery.
With the now 15 years of exemplary coaching technologies, Blake has been part of a powerful team that reaches elite academic institutions such as Villanova School of Business (#1 Ranked in 2016), Becker College, and Drexel University. Blake’s ability to create success for high level executives affords him transformational and lifelong relationships with both undergraduate and graduate students now excelling at their own careers through the “distinctions and proprietary” programs designed for effective impact.
The coaching acumen that Blake has developed has given him many opportunities to work with both enterprise and corporate level executives Audi Corporate/ Regional Audi Dealerships, Harrah’s, LinkedIn, SAP, Deloitte, Bluefield Medical Center, Mehary Medical School, Christiana Care Hospital and such entrepreneurial startups as Translator, Assemblage and Rebel Group- just to name a few.
