The Triumph of Hope Over Experience
Hope is more than wishful thinking—it's a measurable, trainable mindset that drives motivation and resilience. When people lose hope, performance and well-being decline. Ruth's talks, coaching & training explore how to build, sustain, and apply hope even in the face of adversity.
TESTIMONIALS
WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS SAY
Ruth is a top-notch facilitator of deep conversations. She expertly manages group dynamics while also positioning herself as a learner amidst the group, encouraging engagement and the sharing of their own expertise. She is humble yet wise, enthusiastic yet measured, and intellectual yet down-to-earth.
Erika Jackson, Wellcoaches
I love how Ruth is presenting the topics, she actually moves my mindset from theory into practice, from thinking to doing indeed! That is huge to me!
ADINA LEHENE, IT CONSULTANT
While I had never before attended this kind of group coaching class, I was pleasantly surprised at how useful it was for me. Ruth's coaching style is not forceful, but more encouraging and supportive. Her framework of looking at hope, bravery, and curiosity forced me to become more introspective than I normally would have and ask myself some tough questions. Highly recommend this course to anyone looking to understand themselves better.

20 minutes is all it took! She has this ability to just get to the core of things. You need her as a coach.
And then there is Ruth the speaker. On stage, physically or virtually, she captivates the audience from the moment she starts to speak. She is the one that will elevate your audience by informing them and inspiring them.
Her strengths of Teamwork and Humour make her a delight to work with - every single time!
MARJORIE AUNOS, Host of Parenting Done Differently Podcast
"With a background in communication, professional development, and adult education, Ruth's presentation was one of my favorite IPM Day presentations in the past two years! It reiterated to me that our society focuses on detriments, not strengths, and that this is a passion of mine - strength-spotting along with the power of play. I also appreciated the nudge that strengths don't always need to be used: are you overusing your strength or do you need to dial it down a bit or even take a day off of engaging a strength.
Amy E. PM, AMEX
Ruth embodies what she teaches others, & she has such a positive influence on people.
Being part of her network means that I benefit enormously from her encouragement, her influence, her wisdom and her hands-on mentality.
What inspires me most is how she speaks up and takes matters in her own hands, thereby demonstrating that influence and bravery can be used for positive impact.
I love how being part of this professional community stretches my thinking, and Ruth is doing it in a very stimulating way. Many thanks!

My Goodness... RUTH is Ruthless in her discovery, coaching and guiding. She is compassionate, caring, deep, intelligent, she is also pretty funny and has a relaxed side to coaching if you "require" such as I personally or personality does :)
Let me be honest, RUTH is not for the faint at heart... she is ruthless in her quest to help you achieve, thrive and not just survive. If this is what you need she is the best at it. She will question, probe and help you to self discover your own path for success.

Ruth is a highly talented and skilled facilitator and coach. I had the immense pleasure of attending one of Ruth's workshops on Social Intelligence in Dublin recently. Her depth of knowledge married with her ability to gain genuine rapport with the audience makes her a delight to watch. The takeaways and insight were no less than superb.
JAMIL Qureshi, TEDX Speaker, Performance Coach
Ruth is an inspired leader who achieves superior results because she understands that the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts. She leads her teams with character and integrity, recognizes and rewards talent, and freely and consistently coaches others to improve as may be required. It is without hesitation that I recommend Ruth Pearce.

I have a lot of time and respect for Ruth. Her career path, her perspective, her bag of tricks that never ends - are all impressive and evidence of someone committed to being their personal best, who does the work in ways that makes what she does on stage look so easy. I'm a better person for knowing Ruth.
Two big thumbs way up. If you get the chance to work with her, jump.

Thank you, Ruth, for inspiring us !
