Fields of expertise:
As a former CEO, Ruth brings a wealth of experience around topics crucial to organizational success, such as staff structure, strategic planning, community impact, fundraising, and financial management.
With a unique blend of executive leadership and program development expertise, Ruth shares her profound insights into embracing hidden differences and unlocking individual potential. Drawing from her personal and professional journey, she navigates the complexities of leading through crises, demonstrating that living without limits or labels is not only possible but empowering.
Ruth’s interactive presentations address the unspoken aspects of diversity, including invisible disabilities and the concept of “otherness.” She explores the universal human experience of coping with isolation, the innate need for connection, and the resilience to overcome life’s challenges. Through her authentic storytelling, she illuminates the transformative power of embracing one’s true self, inspiring us to recognize that our differences are, in fact, our greatest gifts.
Whether it’s a keynote, workshop, or fireside chat, Ruth’s presentations are not just another lecture of what you’re not doing. It’s an invitation to look at where you may be hiding in your life and opening the conversation for defining diversity differently.
After I speak, people have three reactions:
- Thank you for not giving me another lecture on diversity and what I am not doing;
- Thank you for sharing your story and allowing me to feel included in the conversation and sharing that you still struggle; and
- How do we start these conversations internally– how do I ask someone about their difference?
If you’re looking for someone to engage your attendees and have them feel seen and heard, while being informative and entertaining. I’d love to come speak at your organization.
