Reviews

I recently had the pleasure of seeing Russell Fox at a work conference. Russell absolutely lives up to his "magician insane" title!! he was both charismatic and truly inspiring. Once we were convinced that WE TOO can do the broken glass walk that he is famously known for, the entire company accepted the challenge and did the walk. His show gave us more motivation to drive our business forward to new heights than any other speaker Ive come across I would highly recommend Russell to and company or private person that is interested in building confidence and shifting mindsets in their staff members.

Dean Campbell Private Property Group

After having a serious heart attack, triple by pass open heart surgery, life was a slow careful journey. Everything slowed down and one tends to stop living - too scared to do something, the "what if my heart" thoughts hanging around. After attending a conference where Russel spoke and months of life coaching, everything changed for the better. I see life in a far more positive way. Correct to living. Correct diet (which is still work in progress). Correct positive mind set. I am not great at writing reviews, but what I can say is, having crossed paths with a life saver such as Russell, has meant the world to me.

Wayne Bezuidenhout SAYTEC Tourism

Russell has been an invaluable resource for me in regaining not only my health and fitness but also setting plans in place to address business and personal growth. He is open and intuitive and doesn't shy away from asking questions that demand reflection and self-evaluation. We may have begun our coaching by addressing my relationship with food, but he has had a positive impact on every aspect of my life. I am incredibly grateful for his insights and his guidance!

Shane Addinall CEO Ink Fish Digital

Russell has been an amazing help in giving me the tools and insight to find my inner strength and overcome challenges to reach my goals. He also helped me revitalise and lean into my relationship with God.

Why Adding the Glass Walker Team Build 10× the Impact of the Motivational Talk

A motivational talk can shift thinking.
The Glass Walker Team Build locks that shift into behaviour.

When inspiration is immediately followed by embodied action, something rare happens inside a team:
belief becomes conviction, and conviction becomes culture.

From Inspiration to Integration

Most motivational talks end with applause.
This experience ends with action.

The Glass Walker Team Build is a carefully designed psychological and physical experience that allows teams to apply the message immediately, while emotions are high and barriers are exposed.

Participants don’t just hear about:

Courage under pressure
Trust and leadership
Breaking mental limits
Collective responsibility

They experience it together.

Why It Works at a Deeper Level

The Glass Walker experience activates three critical drivers of lasting change:

1. Emotional Imprinting

People remember what they feel, not what they’re told.
Walking across broken glass creates a moment the brain categorises as “significant,” anchoring the keynote message at a neurological level.

2. Shared Vulnerability = Stronger Teams

When leaders and team members step forward together, hierarchy dissolves.
Trust accelerates.
Silence breaks.
Ownership rises.

This is where real alignment happens.

3. Belief Proven Through Action

Belief isn’t motivational—it’s experiential.
When individuals do what they previously believed was impossible, their internal narrative changes:

“If I can do this… what else have I been holding back from?”

That question carries directly into performance, communication, and leadership.

Why Corporates Choose This Combination

Organisations that combine the motivational talk with the Glass Walker Team Build consistently report:

Higher message retention
Stronger emotional buy-in
Increased post-event momentum
Deeper team connection
A measurable shift in confidence and accountability

This isn’t an add-on for entertainment.
It’s a strategic accelerator for leadership development, culture transformation, and team performance.

The Result

The keynote opens the mind.
The Glass Walker proves the message is true.

Together, they create:

Transformation instead of inspiration
Alignment instead of motivation
Action instead of intention

That’s why the impact isn’t doubled.
It’s multiplied.
