Ruth has spoken to more than 20,000 people in more than 45 countries about the topic of Social Intelligence for Project Leaders and loves to study character strengths use among project managers to better understand how they can grow in influence and success. Over the last few years, mindfulness has become an integral part of her speaking and writing as she advocates increasingly for mental health.
