Russell Shippee

For nearly 40 years, I followed the course set out for me by my parents, my family and my surroundings. Then I had a dream that made me realize I had yet to live. I sold the family business and charted my own course to the life I envisioned. I have never regretted it. Now I help people sail toward the personal or business life they’ve imagined, but didn’t think was possible.

In my book, Our Journey is Our Work, and workbook, Living My Life on Purpose, as a consultant, life coach, and public speaker, I offer practical, down-to-earth strategies to help people develop personal lives that are fulfilling and rewarding, and build and grow small businesses.

I graduated from Bryant University and Harvard Business School. I grew a modestly successful family insurance agency into a statewide force by expanding services, increasing sales, adding producers and acquisitions. I’ve been an employee, a manager, and a successful business owner. With 45 years of experience in strategic planning, development and organizational behavior, I coach and mentor others, helping them achieve their dreams.

Yes, I’m also still active with my clients and referrals assisting with their estate planning, life, insurance, income for life, annuity, and long term care needs.
