I support passionate, purpose-driven leaders, from Managing Directors to Chief Operating Managers (COO), who find themselves caught in the middle, juggling pressure from above and expectations from their teams. It can feel isolating, overwhelming, and like the spark you once had is starting to fade. If you're feeling stuck, restless, or just weighed down by it all, you're not alone. Together, we’ll rebuild clarity, confidence, and control, so you can lead with purpose and actually enjoy the work you do.
Through my proven 5-step process Leadership Success Cycle, I guide you to:
My coaching and consulting is designed to energise and refocus passionate, driven leaders like you. I’ll help you rebuild trust, reignite your spark, and reconnect with that sense of achievement that makes leadership worth it.
Over the past decade, I’ve supported more than 50 leaders in turning stress into confidence, doubt into clarity, and burnout into renewed drive and purpose. If you’re ready to boost your energy, sharpen your impact, and lead with purpose again, let’s talk. Your next breakthrough might be just one conversation away.
If you are…
Trying to regain clarity and confidence and avoid losing control under pressure, reacting impulsively instead of leading, feeling pulled in too many directions, struggling with self-doubt or inconsistent communication, and getting caught in firefighting, drifting priorities, or lack of focus?
Trying to achieve authentic influence and move beyond superficial or mistrustful one-on-one relationships, struggling to inspire others to grow and take responsibility, sometimes facing low engagement, and finding it difficult to foster motivation in those you work with directly?
Trying to regain confidence and joy in leading great teams, while avoiding managing a group of people that feels directionless and drained, where members fail to take collective ownership, group dynamics are poor, conflicts go unresolved, productivity is low, outcomes are delayed, and the joint culture lacks support and respect?
Trying to achieve clarity and strategic awareness to lead your department or organisation, while preventing confusion and lack of direction, a stifled working climate and innovation, poor morale, poor decision-making, wasted effort, misaligned values, policies, processes, strategy, and resources that result in a minimal impact in a constantly changing environment?
Then I can help.
I've known Ruth for a long time. She is incredibly intelligent, incredibly experienced. ..There's a lot of depth of knowledge that I feel like I've just got a little window into. And the experience and the emotional intelligence, also in the way she holds the relationship in the conversations, is really, really interesting. Like when I step out of it and look at it from a third person perspective, it's really quite sophisticated. So I feel like I'm in really, an amazing set of hands

I would say that Ruth operates with huge amounts of integrity. She genuinely has a passion and cares about this subject area. She’s honest and open, and you instantly feel comfortable [...] That coaching relationship, any coaching relationship, builds up your own resilience, your own self-worth, and your understanding of yourself.[...]You know, I always talk about whether you are putting a sticking plaster over something or truly healing the wound. And it enabled us to work at that level, which was really important for me on my leadership journey.
A little about me… my journey has been driven by curiosity, learning, and hands-on experience alongside amazing people. Moving between “realities" and various ways of working has been a huge part of my journey. Learning from these experiences has shaped how I support leaders and teams today. I work fluently in German and English, have a good command of French, and a solid working knowledge of Spanish.
I’ve been fortunate to study, work, and travel across the world, earning an MBA in International Management, a Master in Global Public Policy, and a Doctor Phil.
Along the way, I’ve also completed certifications in Prosci® Change Management, Leadership Circle Profile® (LCP), TTI TriMetrix® EQ, Stakeholder Management through the Engagement Institute, Capacity WORKS, the Intercultural Readiness Check, Systemic Mediation, Conflict Coaching, and Solution-Focused Negotiation in Organisations at SMBS in Austria, and Systemic Evolutionary Organisational Development with Trigon Switzerland. I also enjoy teaching these subjects in university settings, which allows me to share knowledge and inspire/learn from others in their journeys.
What I love most about my work is combining practical tools with a human-focused, systemic approach in rich, diverse, and complex social environments. Whether I’m coaching individuals or supporting organisations through transformation, my goal is to help you navigate complexity, grow your leadership, and create healthier, more effective work cultures.
If you’re curious about how we could work together, or just want some guidance navigating challenges and opportunities in your team or organisation, I’d love to connect and have a conversation!
Ruth knows what's going on. She knows about the business. …She reviewed the last session…. And and she's always asking how you feel. You feel looked after and and surrounded by by trust. And the environment she creates is a very trustful environment. If someone is unsure in developing yourself, it's, just give it a go. Just give it a go…. .

What I found especially impressive about working with Ruth was how quickly she could, even without knowing the organisation or the details, ask exactly the right questions and steer me to the key points. I honestly wasn’t expecting that at all. It really showed me how quickly she gets to the heart of the matter and how versatile her tools are.
