Thanks for visiting my profile. I hope we get to meet sometime soon.

I'm Ruth. I am a self-confessed career development and learning geek. I've spent the last 19 years strategising, plannng and building a career I love. I've read thousands of books about how to create a work life you love.

765cbf30 My obsession with building a career I love made it possible for me to have a work life that I love. I work in the field of digital and technology and I get to combine a range of different projects including training development and delivery, digital product development, innovation, marketing and consulting. Here are just some of the amazing organisations I've worked for or with.

If you'd like to see more details about what I do when I'm not creating Skillshare classes, check out my LinkedIn profile.

But it hasn't always been like this.

For 15 years, I worked as an employee building a traditional career, climbing the ladder from Co-ordinator to Manager to Head of a Department. During all of those years, I was always doing side projects, starting side hustles and dreaming of a more entrepreneurial life.

In 2015, I took the leap from safe, traditional employment to running my own business and it was the best decision I've ever made.

Since then, I have had some amazing experiences from presenting and live streaming to thousands to people across the work to bring featured in the national press.

I'm so excited to share with you the things I've learnt on this crazy journey and share the skills I've gained along the way.

I can't wait to see you soon at one of my classes soon.

"Ruth has an amazing ability to impart lots of information in a very clear and concise way. As a result, I have been able to put her advice into action easily and effectively."

Nicola

"I loved her accessible teaching style and the course was in bitesize chunks with enough to do every day to help you make a difference. I wasn't sure what to expect but thoroughly enjoyed it!"

Amy

"She is very knowledgeable and presents the material in a simple way that is easy to understand and makes it quick to implement and see results. I have since grown my instagram and twitter accounts exponentially and find them very useful tools to grow my new business!"

Dahlia

"Ruth delivered a number of training sessions..I always found her delivery to be concise, personable and suitably structured to the subject at hand with good, clear instructions. Her overview of Facebook advertising particularly stands out in my mind, an area that can look rather complex, daunting and confusing on the first visit to FB ad manager.

She took delegates through the app in a clear, simple, step by step process and really helped me understand the layout various options on offer. Ruth's tone of voice is incredibly calm and steady, this combined with a real depth of knowledge makes her training delivery rather outstanding in my opinion"

Nicki

"The course was clear, concise with a manageable task to complete each day. This was particularly important when trying to fit this into an already busy schedule. I have all the resources, in case I need to refer back to them at a later date. My profile has really benefitted from completing the tasks outlined, by Ruth, throughout the seven day course."

Rachel

"Ruth is very clear and concise with a friendly tone. She delivers training in a clear & easy to understand manner and is an experienced professional in her industry. Ruth has delivered some clear good quality training videos and webex meetings, she's faultless and knows her subjects inside out. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ruth and look forward to working with her again."

Kirsty

"The content was perfectly tailored for the audience and she adapted the format to work around their needs. It was very clear from the start of the course that Ruth really knows her stuff and was really passionate about her clients. I would love to work with her again and would highly recommend her!"

June

"She delivered an excellent training session, using a range of exercises that really helped participants understand their customers and identify a targeted strategy to engage them. She is also a pleasure to work with - professional, friendly and a great communicator."
