Ruth Samuel is an executive employability coach, qualified teacher specialising in differentiation and A1 assessor. Having worked with more than 2,430 individuals and organisations over 27 years, she’s realised that no matter how different their personality, people tend to struggle with the same problems:
• lack of control over their lives
• lack of clarity of direction
• Lack of confidence
• lack of guidance, skills or technical knowledge
• lack of time and resources
These problems make people feel that they are stuck in a rut. They go to work because they have to, not because they want to. They don’t have enough income to support their home, relationships or families. Mental and physical stress can lead to illness, relationship breakdowns, addiction etc. They are trapped in the wrong job with low morale and self-esteem, frightened of failure. People blame themselves and everyone else. Worst of all, underachieving people tend to mix with others of a similar mindset creating a community of unsuccessful people.
Ruth wrote “The invisible Woman’s Guide to a FABULOUS Future”, to help women to achieve the financial recognition and respect. Her practical, no-nonsense approach includes:
• Diagnostics to discover who you are, your preferences, skills and values
• Researching what opportunities are best suited to you personally
• Mapping your qualities to your perfect lifestyle
• Tweaking the dream to make it better than perfect for you
• Creating a treasure map (visual executive summary) to take you from where you are today to your dream life
• Calculating how much your dream actually costs, how much money you need
• Combining all this information to create a professional business plan, with spreadsheet templates, you can use to raise funding (if necessary) to achieve your dream lifestyle
Ruth lives in a picturesque little village in south Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom under close supervision of her lucky black cat.
