Ruth Wootton

"Ruth worked with my team and I on current business challenges delivering and supporting on a wide variety of projects including service excellence, leadership and management coaching, employee engagement and training and competence. Her breadth & depth of knowledge is excellent. Ruth has a real richness of practical impactful experience; she is professional, resourceful, reliable, thorough, self-motivated organised and she has the ability to deliver excellent results far quicker than most. Ruth is a total self-starter who requires little guidance and has the ability to add so much value to business in a short space of time - a real asset."

"I worked with Ruth during my time as COO, Life Protection within Legal & General. I can safely say that Ruth always delivered my projects on-time, within budget and to a very high standard. Ruth’s personal qualities can best be described as a person who is; structured, logical, creative, and enthusiastic and with a wide range of business critical skills. In summary, an excellent individual with a broad range of skills from Leadership Development & Coaching to Project & Programme Management."

"Ruth was an invaluable resource when it came to launching LMW’s new project. Her depth of leadership knowledge meant that she just “got it” and her drive and enthusiasm helped transform all of our initial ideas into a tangible reality. She produced (and stuck to) a very comprehensive project plan and I always knew where we were against key milestones. The end result exceeded my hopes and expectations – thanks Ruth!"

"It's not often that you encounter someone who can clearly understand the problems and hurdles you are facing however, Ruth did this, with ease & clarity, both decisively and sensitively. Ruth gave us some of the most relevant and pertinent advice to help with the significant challenges of leadership. Ruth's advice has been instrumental in growing the business. I would recommend that anyone who is in a leadership role to pick up the phone and have a chat with Ruth now.” 

"I have worked with Ruth during the past year during a career transition which has seen me progress from Marketing Manager to Operations Director and the future leader of the business. Ruth enabled me to talk through my options, my challenges and areas I needed to build on and helped me put plans in place to grow my knowledge. Ruth's approach providing challenge, coaching and practical advice has helped me identify the type of leader I aspire to be and what I need to do to get there. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ruth to anyone who is looking to develop their career, leadership style and practical skills."

"I recently undertook coaching with Ruth to support my next career move. I had decided that I was keen to find a new opportunity that would enable me to progress and take the next step in terms of role and responsibility. The experience of working with Ruth was an incredibly positive and inspiring one. She worked with me to better understand and articulate my strengths in terms of skills, knowledge and previous experience. She also encouraged me to be confident in my ambitions and supported the whole process of submitting job applications and preparing for interview. As a result of the coaching I made some significant changes in the way I think about myself in a work context and how I communicate this with others. I was very fortunate that I was successful in securing my dream job and part of that success can be attributed to Ruth’s support and the coaching work that we undertook together. Thank you Ruth! I would not hesitate in highly recommending Ruth."

"I had the pleasure of working with Ruth at what was a critical time for me in my own career. She has extensive experience and knowledge and I have benefited greatly from this and her thoughtful and considered viewpoint. Working with Ruth has been instrumental in giving me a clear sense of direction with a confidence that is demonstrated through many areas of my life."

"Thought provoking and challenging are the best suitable words I can use to describe the coaching. Ruth has a unique ability to get you to think about things that you didn't even know were possible! She is a superb coach and isn't afraid to keep challenging you in order to ensure you are exploring all options."

"I just wanted to say a big “thank you”. Thanks to you and the coaching that you provided for me I have just presented my first training session and I feel brilliant. The coaching that you provided me with when I was completely lost and downhearted about my career helped me focus and give me direction. It gave me the push I needed to take control of what I wanted to do and take some action."
