Ruth designs and delivers customized motivational experiences that meet audiences at their pain points and take them on a journey to a new way of being and seeing. Grounded in her own lived experience overcoming adversity, she doesn't just inspire people to change, she shows them how.
For the past seven years, I’ve been speaking to audiences about the human problems that stop people and organisations being all they can be.
Sharing the personal challenges I have faced, I reassure people they are not alone in their struggles and doubts, offering a compassionate, human perspective on the things that are holding them back. I take audiences by the hand and by the heart, helping them see they are more capable than they think and more powerful than they know, sharing proven, actionable tools to ignite their belief in their capacity to change, lead, collaborate and communicate.
No matter what kind of transformational change you want to inspire in your audience, I can take them there.
Ruth’s former career as a communication strategist consulting to organizations like Citibank, Medtronic and ECINS, has taught her the power of clarifying objectives before offering solutions. She spends time working to define what event success looks like to you, adapting her presentation to ensure she delivers on your aims.
"What made working with Ruth an absolute pleasure was her down-to-earth nature and approachability. She remained humble and relatable throughout the entire process and her willingness to listen, collaborate, and tailor her speech to meet the specific needs of our event was truly commendable."
