Speaking
Ruth’s message and mission grew out of her experience with cancer; describing cancer as the narrow spot in an hourglass. She soon realized that life is full of narrow spots – not all of them labeled cancer. They indicate change and represent the depth and intensity of life experience. She has learned that change is inevitable and transformation is intentional.
Ruth brings meaningful connection, inspiration, and commitment to action to her presentations; empowering you to choose to embrace the inevitability of change and the possibility of transformation rather than sticking your head in the sand and pretending nothing has happened.
Ruth customizes her message on navigating change with integrity, faith, courage and grace whether speaking to medical or business professionals, faith-based groups, or community organizations, Ruth delivers her message as a living authority on living resiliently.
Change and Resilience are common topics today. Ruth brings a unique perspective to what navigating change with resilience entails. Audiences are inspired by the content to discover the resources needed to move forward no matter what the circumstances.
