𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 - 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀I'm on a journey to make mental well-being the backbone of enterprise culture. Drawing from my personal experience with anxiety & burnout, I recognize the power of a supportive work environment - and the cost to the individual AND the organization of being unsupportive! With degrees from the London School of Economics & Concord Law School & over 25 years of leadership experience in financial services, state government, & nonprofits, I combine an eclectic academic background with wide ranging real-world expertise - both professionally & personally.As an Enterprise Coach, clients say working with me is empowering leaders, co-founders & teams to build resilient, innovative & mentally healthy workplaces. But I am not the right coach for everyone or for every life focus. In talks and workshops audiences find actionable strategies for creating environments where employees & organizations thrive together, enhancing productivity & well-being. Audiences that want to co-create the learning experience are more likely to connect with my speaking style than audiences who want to receive direction from gurus.I am the author of several books including:* Be Hopeful, Be Strong, Be Brave, Be Curious: How Coaching Can Help You Get Out of Your Own Way and Create A Meaningful Life (Wiley 2024) - want a taste of what working with Ruth is like? This book is like a mini-session! * Be a Project Motivator: Unlock the Secrets of Strengths-Based Project Management (Berrett-Koehler 2018)I am also honored to be the instructor for five LinkedIn Learning Courses on leadership, project management and wellbeing.My amazing clients describe me as the catalyst for turning ideas into action. And by partnering with me, organizations have moved from simply dreaming of change to creating lasting impact.As one client said, by working with me, they go from Dreaming and Thinking to Being and Doing!In addition to my professional exploits as a speaker, coach, author & trainer, I am a mother of two adult children, in a relationship of more than 22 years, keeper of bees, dogs & rabbit, & a proud (young!) grandmother. I draw so much energy from nature, music, & books. They are essential to my own mental health & are powerful tools for self-care and as checkins on my health.
