Training & Events

High impact programmes, training and events for you, your team or your network

Programmes

I develop and run a number of programmes throughout the year, either for organisations' teams or members or directly with individuals who want to join others to focus on a specific area of their personal growth and development. 

Spotlight on: Coaching on the Go

Great leaders coach.  Partnering with Coaching on the Go, I train teams and individuals to be leaders-who-coach; driving business productivity and employee performance.  

Participants receive a personalised skills profile that delivers insights across 15 dimensions and provides a personal development plan and we then work together to embed coaching into every day working interactions.

Let's discuss how Coaching on the Go could make an impact for your team.

Spotlight on: Returning to Work

Returning to a role after a period of absence can be challenging and disorientating.  Far too many returners find it difficult to regather momentum or recalibrate their direction and can often lose their confidence in the process.  My returning to work programmes combine in-person and online group sessions, coaching (1:1, peer, and/or group), and the support of a community of fellow returners, to help rebuild momentum and mojo after a period away. 

To get a better feel for how your programme might look, here is further information the programme I am running with the Chartered Institute of Taxation and the Association of Taxation Technicians in Spring 2025.

Talk to me about how I can support returners in your organisation, team or network.

“We really enjoyed the session... your sense of humour and delivery style really set the afternoon off well and brought out the best in us."

“Ruth had a passion for the material she was delivering which made it easy to engage and absorb knowledge”

Events

In professional services organisations and professional networks, events are an essential part of life, but devising or running them is not everyone's cup of tea.  That's why I'm here to help - whether that's with the vision, innovative design, or impactful delivery.

“A number of delegates complimented me on getting such an excellent chair… unintrusive, …modest”

“Her openness and candidness was fantastic - everyone could relate to her”

“One of Ruth’s biggest strengths is her ability to translate strategic concepts into a clear articulation appropriate for the relevant audience”

“Ruth was engaging and approachable, and happy to share her knowledge and experience”

Find a hook
You want to run an engaging event for your network but need support to develop the overall thread and the hook that will make people want to sign up

Make it happen
You have a great idea but too little time and need a safe pair of hands to make your vision a reality

MC
You need a master of ceremonies to guide your event seamlessly and energetically from start to finish

Help to tell your story
You've got talented people whose message should be heard but who would benefit from a chair who can help them to tell their story

Mentoring
You want to empower someone in your team to drive an event but would like them to have some support and mentoring through the process

My cup of tea - and my bread and butter!

In my 25 year career in the Big 4 I was never more than a few days away from getting involved in another event - usually having the bright idea to run something and then throwing myself into making it happen.  Whilst some people shudder at the thought of being involved in these things, I became a go to person to devise, design and deliver client seminars and training, client workshops, technical and professional skills programmes and conferences - being a catalyst for their purpose and content as well as looking for innovative approaches to delivery.  Previous events and programmes I have designed and/or delivered include:
