Conflict happens - April PACE Development Forum
Russell C. Gaede, PsyD is The Relationship Guy and a sought after professional speaker. He holds a Doctorate Degree in Clinical Psychology and two graduate certificates in Conflict Resolution. As a member of the National Speakers Association with over 15 years of experience both nationally and internationally, Dr. Russ is hired by organizations and individuals to help improve what really matters – relationships, personally and professionally.
He went from failing out of High School to becoming a college professor with a Doctorate in Psychology and a graduate certificate in Conflict Resolution. As a kid, he was in leg braces and had a difficult time running - he has since become an avid cyclist and distance runner who has biked and run thousands of miles and now participates in triathlons, including Ironman events.
Having struggled with severe speech impediments and a diagnoses of Tourette Syndrome, Dr. Russ now makes his living as a speaker, consultant and coach.
Dr. Russ is the author of multiple books and has been featured on various TV and radio programs. Dr. Russ shares funny and inspiring stories that will teach you the principles to resolve conflict.
