It’s important to trust the person who is going to speak to your organization.
“With Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion being so crucial to
organizations today, hearing from Ruth is 100% worth the time.”
“Ruth did a fantastic webinar for our group (Council for Community and Economic Research – C2ER) on the ‘Cure to Inclusion.’ She engaged directly with exercises for our participants to include them and in the end have their experiences feel included. With Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion being so crucial to organizations today, hearing from Ruth is 100% worth the time. Thank you Ruth for speaking with our group and we hope to work with you again in the future.”

“Her experience and knowledge transcends
individual issues and speaks to everyone”
“Ruth Rathblott is a true leader and visionary in the area of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Qlik hosted sessions with Ruth sharing her experiences and knowledge on living with disabilities and embracing inclusion. Ruth is now engaged with our team to implement an Employee Resource Group focused on disabilities, both visible and invisible. I highly recommend working with Ruth in any capacity for companies looking to focus on the value of inclusion for all employees. Her experience and knowledge transcends individual issues and speaks to everyone. Please feel free to contact me for further reference information.”

“She was dynamic!”
“Ruth Rathblott recently appeared as a guest speaker at CUNY – she was dynamic! Her passion and enthusiasm for inclusion is heard loud and clear in her message, and as a speaker she is totally gifted – a true talent. What is so fascinating about Ruth’s presentation is the honesty and real emotion she shares with the audience. I am a LEADS (Linking Employment Academics and Disability Services) Specialist and through Ruth sharing her own experiences she motivated our students and fellow counselors in the most positive way. She was just the voice we needed to start the academic year. If anyone out there is looking for a guest speaker who is relatable, informative, and entertaining I’d highly recommend Ruth Rathblott! We are definitely having her back at CUNY… as much as possible!!”

“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. There is nothing she can’t do and 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 spoke to our FOX Advertising Sales Team and the response was absolutely incredible. I have known Ruth a long time and was blown away by what I learned and I am eternally grateful because by sharing her personal story with such grace, she made us all a little more self-aware and left the team with a kinder outlook towards both our co-workers and people in general!”

“Her message resonated deeply with the audience!”
“Ruth was one of the stand out speakers at The Conference Board’s DEI conference in Nov 2020. Speaking on the issues of Authenticity and Imposter Syndrome she quickly drew eloquently on her own experiences to provide the audience with a practical guide of how to address this critical issue.
“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.”
John Brewer

“Ruth is an incredibly engaging speaker with a story that’s like no other!”
“Ruth is an incredibly engaging speaker with a story that’s like no other. Her ability to be vulnerable, yet so strong creates a true admiration from spectators. She really highlighted the importance of empathy, understanding, and transparency in the workplace, drawing from a very personal space, that heavily resonated with many of our delegates. Ruth was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would strongly recommend her for any conference/event, no matter what industry as her teachings and subject matter can be applied anywhere.”

“…this was the single best ERG Speakers session in her entire career with S&P Global!”
“Ruth provided impactful personal stories regarding her experiences with stigma and shame due to her limb difference, and provided meaningful tips and strategies for members to celebrate difference and build inclusivity in the workplace. Her presentation inspired many ERG members to share their experiences with shame and stigma, and empowered them through a collective vulnerability. One attendee even remarked–echoed by many comments in the Q&A report–that this was the single best ERG Speakers session in her entire career with S&P Global!”
