I tailor every development programme to serve the unique individual, collective and contextual objectives.

overall approach

  • I listen carefully to what each client or team wants to achieve and help them to articulate an inspiring, engaging vision of their ideal outcome.

  • I design powerful experiences that catalyse and energise individual and collective effectiveness.

  • I use approaches that dissolve blocks, liberate creativity and open communication.

  • I bring a deep regard for diverse personality styles and how they communicate differently. I help my clients to do the same with one another and to nurture generative, motivating relationships.

  • I always contextualise the work so that it serves the organisation’s context and goals and enhances its values and culture.

the horizontal & vertical stretch

stretching horizontally

enables leaders to embrace a broader context and greater diversity - sort of outstretched arms

stretching vertically

helps leaders to elevate perspectives and access wisdom and unity - growing consciousness and presence

psychological safety

Whether working with leaders, teams or larger groups we always create an atmosphere of psychological safety and respect for the uniqueness of each person.

This enables honest, courageous conversation and encourages diverse perspectives, styles, talents and contributions to be expressed, welcomed and heard.

Harnessing our inner vitality begins with a willingness to look within as it’s the internal world that enables how we show up and the impact we can have.

one-off coaching conversation(s) to support specific leadership challenges

‘The work we did with Ruth was totally transforming - we achieved a belief, culture, confidence, and professionalism that would otherwise have taken us years. We moved from a business idea to a serious business in a short number of months.'

Mel Ross, Owner & Founder, Adapt2Digital

‘Ruth provides a sacred and creative holding space for exploring whatever is needed. In some sessions I have worked with Ruth on my inner fears and desires; in others on more practical aspects such as designing collective leadership workshops.

Creative by nature, she has a wide coaching and adult development experience and expertise, a deep authentic connection to the systemic field and an incredibly warm open heart.

My conversations with Ruth support me to stay honest and inspired, so that I can serve my clients at my best.’

Hazel Chapman, Founder & MD Courage2Lead

'Ruth’s approach and cultural sensitivity meant that the workshop was highly tailored to our business needs and to the team. It was easy to integrate her concepts and approach to our existing training structure and the learnings of the day are still showing, and being discussed weeks later.
​We have all grown from the experience.'
