"I wanted to say how much I enjoyed the presentation you gave ...and to compliment you on your presentation skills - I spend a great deal of my life public speaking and also having to listen to other speakers who, quite honestly, more often than not bore the pants off me. Your style, content and delivery were extremely impressive..."
-Chris Barrow, Business Coach, The Business Coaching Co Ltd
"thank you for your stirring contribution. All evaluation forms for your presentation were positive and full of praise... the most exciting thing was that many delegates felt that it would help them in their workplace to change their practice and attitude. So a big thank-you... for adding to our conference in such a motivating way"
-Polly Ferguson, Royal College of Midwives. (UK)

When I signed up to do [kathleen] Ruth's 4 week teleclass Get Published Now, my habitual scepticism led me to question how much of a difference one brief course could actually make. I have to say that it has brought about a major shift. Not only does the course provide useful, practical information but it has inspired me to undertake a major project I would never have dreamed of before. This project also requires that I write a series of articles and I find that I am far more focused and productive than ever before. Ruth has a talent for bringing out the best in each individual on the course and creating a very fertile atmosphere of mutual support and sharing. Ruth is an inspirational coach who delivers more than she promises."
-Annie Kaszina Alexander teacher and coach.
"I did enjoy your teleclass yesterday, although I have published in a number of magazines I did learn from the experiences you shared during the class. Thank you also for the resources you sent, they were really useful."
-Teresa Marshall, Clearview Coaching
"It was a real pleasure to be part of the group today and I am convinced that you are the person best able to bring out the best in all of us. Many thanks for your experience and centred way of controlling the flow without being controlling - some skill!!!"
-Penny Darby Smith, Life Coach
I attended an excellent workshop run by Ruth. I learnt so much about myself. I knew I had matters I had to deal with but hadn't realised that I was putting my dreams and future on hold. I had been procrastinating over dealing with a matter that impacted all parts of my life.
Ruth is a highly skilled professional coach as demonstrated in a follow-up telecoaching session with me. Ruth enabled me to move on and deal with my situation. The session helped me work through how I needed to deal with matters and a particular conversation that had to take place. Having done this I feel much has been lifted from me and there are plans for me to work on - for a future, putting dreams desires and goals back into my life."
-Sophia, Liverpool (UK)
"I enjoyed your talk today. It was great - very relaxed and informal but lots of information and nice and interactive. Just brilliant! Hope to see you again soon."
-A.S.(UK)

There is no magic involved, just learning a few skills such as setting strong boundaries, having clear intentions, clear communication, and an ability to be intensely present in the moment, in 'flow' state. In flow state we experience creativity, high performance, improved concentration and a feeling of peace and joy. Who wouldn't want more of THAT at work?
