Russell Clinton, coach and founder of Supporting sunflowers, brings together lived experience, education, cross-cultural service, and a long-standing commitment to helping people recognize their strengths and move toward lives that feel more meaningful and manageable. His work has spanned teaching, small-business ownership, team leadership, music education, language learning, and community support across different cultures and life circumstances. He is currently pursuing credentialing as a Neurodiversity Family Coach at CReW Coaching Institute; as well as ACC with the ICF.

Russell also brings lived experience of ADHD, autism, and late diagnosis. At Supporting Sunflowers, Russell’s approach is grounded in active listening, curiosity, collaboration, and respect for each person’s agency. He sees clients as whole people, not as problems to fix or people who must conform to someone else’s expectations.

His guiding belief is simple: every person has the capacity to find satisfaction and fulfillment, we may just need a little extra support to get there at times. Often, that support begins with an empathetic ear.
