Empathetic, encouraging and practical, Ruth’s approach facilitates self-awareness and belief by helping clients identify values, achievement stories and transferable skills, then building their ability to research, network and self-market effectively. Key areas include interview prep and technique, first 100 days in role, and reintegration of returners to the workplace. Developing a client’s long-term career management capabilities is integral to Ruth’s practice, as is creating the space for an honest, enjoyable and productive working relationship.
