WHAT I DO

Research shows that companies that promote collaborative working are 5 times more likely to be high performing.

Research also shows that employees working in collaborative cultures are 22% more likely to believe their employer cares about their morale.

I specialise in helping individuals and teams to work more effectively together.

People work with people. The relatioships we have with those we work with drive not just our success, but also how good we feel about being at work.

This is even more true in a hybrid world. Hybrid work means we need to be more explicit about how we want our teams to work, and they need to take responsibility for building relationships that get the work done.

There's no point spending money on expensive workplace wellbeing interventions, complex productivity tools, or intricate strategy documents if your teams don't know how to work together productively.

Influence, negotiation, resilience, building rapport, having open, productive conversations and tackling the tough stuff. All of these are essential skills for the workplace. Businesses and individuals cannot thrive without them.

The good news is: these are all skills that can be learnt and developed.

The even better news is: I'm here to help.

From the initial discussion, Ruth helped me articulate clear objectives and offered different options to ensure the delivery was tailored to the team culture.

I was particularly impressed by Ruth's ability to create an inclusive and safe space.

As a result all team members actively engaged in open and constructive conversations about how we work together and what we can do to improve. I am pleased to see learning being tangibly put into practice.

OFF THE SHELF TRAINING

My flagship "Building Collaborative Teams" programme explores the building blocks of effective collaboration.

The course is highly interactive and provides practical tools that can be put into practice straight away.

Communication

Collaboration

Having open, courageous conversations, giving clear feedback, managing conflict and influencing effectively.

Identifying a shared purpose, addressing the problem not the person, working in partnership.

I am a fully qualified and accredited coach, with over 15 years’ experience in senior roles at a range of organisations. I understand the challenges you face and have the tools to help you address them.

Ruth has a great sense of humour and a light touch that creates a positive environment. Her past experiences in a variety of different roles really bring a wisdom and informed quality to her work.

I found the session really productive and useful. Ruth listened to everything the group wanted to get out of the session and worked hard to make sure we all came away feeling much more confident about our selves and what we can bring to a group.

She created a really safe space for us to share our concerns and learn. I came away feeling very inspired, and I know others did too.

Ruth has an incredible coaching style which is both playful and warm, but never shies away from asking the more challenging questions.

Ruth was a wonderful facilitator full of knowledge and enthusiasm.
