“If you are looking to educate your team to understand that inclusion
is a broader term than many of us realize, you won’t find a
more compelling and compassionate person to do it.”

“Ruth is one of the most inspiring and engaging people you could ever meet. Ruth spoke to our FOX Advertising Sales Team, and the response was absolutely incredible. By sharing her personal story with such grace, she made us more self-aware and left us with a kinder outlook towards our co-workers and people in general!“

Claudine Lilien
Head of Global Sales and Partnerships

Unhiding Transforms Everything.

Hiding holds people back, limiting engagement, innovation, and true belonging. When leaders foster trust and authenticity, employees feel valued, empowered, and ready to bring their best ideas forward.

I work with organizations to break the cycle of hiding and unlock the full potential of their teams. Let’s build a workplace culture where people connect, lead, and thrive—unhidden.

“If you keep hiding your true self, your life becomes like slow death.
Once you become free from the lies and the hiding of yourself,
then life becomes vibrant again.” ~ Ziggy Marley

RESULTS THAT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES:

“Her story resonated with our employees, and I hope she continues to share her story with other corporations who value diversity and inclusion and inspire us all to accept our differences and live our authentic selves.”

Jason Williams, SVP
Global Inclusion Strategy, Paramount

“Ruth is one of the best. She shared her personal experiences and followed those stories with easily digestible lessons. Ruth engaged the audience and was excellent answering difficult on the spot questions. I was very impressed and inspired by Ruth. I look forward to keeping in contact and collaborating with her in the future.”

Joshua Levine, COO / Business Manager
Credit Trading, Barclays Investment Bank

“Engaging an audience virtually is not something just anyone can do. By being authentic and vulnerable and speaking from the heart, Ruth was able to strike just the right tone and create genuine rapport — no surprise then that her message resonated deeply with the audience. Ruth is a courageous individual who has turned her story into a gift that inspires others.”
