Practical Visionaries

Randy Revell

Over 30 years ago, Randy and Judy Revell became pioneers and leaders in the field of self-awareness education. One of Randy’s distinctive qualities was his ability to apply diverse experiences and knowledge to his own life. This integration is a cornerstone of The Excellence Series and was also a driving force behind Randy’s personal, professional, and financial success. In other words—he practiced what he preached! He knew from his own experience that his ideas about abundance, effectiveness and creating excellence could generate amazing results for people across all aspects of life.

Randy earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, followed by graduate work in mathematics and communications.  Before founding Context International, he was in the Air Force, served the U.S. government for 11 years as a specialist in communications and education, worked as a venture capitalist in Silicon Valley, and was a consultant to Fortune 500 executives.

His personal stand in life (something our graduate students learn in Mastery I) was to be a Champion of Good Will.  Randy believed good will in relationships creates safety. In safety, people are more likely to show up as themselves. From this willingness to show up as one is, miracles occur.

Randy believed Context International’s exceptionally effective programs had a purpose beyond himself: that they could inspire people to move forward, get great results, and contribute to others, creating a better world for everyone. Although he passed away in 2004, his legacy continues through his wife Judy, daughter Elisabeth and a host of facilitators and graduates around the world.

Judy Revell

Judy met Randy while he was in the Air Force. After three dates, they were engaged to be married. This extraordinary, integrated partnership continued until Randy’s death in 2004, and the work they began continues today.

Born into a military family in California, Judy spent her early years traveling the world. Educated in Germany and Virginia, she earned a B.A. in History and a teaching certificate in secondary education. In 1968, she and Randy moved to California following the birth of their daughter, Elisabeth. It was here that the Revells became involved in the science of human potential and designed the courses that became The Excellence Series. Judy is particularly respected for designing the content of the second course, The Wall.

Judy served as Chief Financial Officer of Context International until her stroke in 1991. She remains a vigorous and dynamic leader, known as a woman who combines dignity, elegance, and grace with a hunger for mental stimulation and deep laughter. Judy’s “can-do” attitude is motivated by the quest for joy and achievement. “Yes I can” was her personal motto long before it became a political slogan. Today, her guiding slogans are “Do it now” and “Be kind.” Judy lives in North Bend, WA with her daughter Elisabeth and son-in-law, Dan Sullivan.
