About Ruth
I research the secrets to success found in extreme high achievers and help those who wish to improve unlock their own potential.
I was named to the Thinkers50 Radar list (the Oscars of management thinking), in 2021 won the Thinkers50 Radar Award, naming me the #1 emerging management thinker in the world, and in 2024 appeared on the Coaches50 list.
Coaching
As an executive coach, I work with a limited number of hand-selected mid and high-level professionals to help them develop their leadership ascension, crystallize their job search strategy, and/or raise their profile. My clients generally approach me to develop a customized actionable plan for a variety of challenges.
Sometimes they are either in a career rut, they are in a new leadership role and wish to optimize their effectiveness as they lead teams and projects, or they wish to become more nationally recognized for their work.
Each coaching session is tailored to the individual’s goals and aspirations.
