Guiding political and business leaders, fostering humane communication expertise
Cultivating compassion and empathy
I am Ruth and I currently live in Austria, in the heart of Europe. Currently, because I also have a residence in Harare, Zimbabwe and in London and am travelling between continents all over the world. I studied and graduated in Political Science and International Relations at prestigious universities in Pretoria/South Africa and Austria. My career spans over 30 years of experience in diplomatic missions in various countries on the globe as well as in international UN and EU agencies and the OSCE.
Today, I provide mentorship to global leaders in politics and business, guiding them through negotiations. Tailored to contemporary challenges, I offer innovative and swiftly implementable strategies in crisis management and conflict resolution.
Clients appreciate my extensive diplomatic background and adeptness in effectively engaging with international stakeholders across private and corporate negotiations.
During my schooling, rote memorization was emphasized, urging us to cram knowledge into our minds. However, “University of Life” taught me to become 'streetwise,' fostering a robust social intelligence and practical skills. Whether navigating through the complexities of some civil war in Africa or as a single mother for many years, immersed in the whirlwind of international diplomacy, it became essential to navigate life's challenges in an unconventional, astute, and imaginative manner.
Throughout the decades, I've accumulated knowledge and a wealth of lived experiences, which I now impart to my clients, enabling them to adeptly navigate diverse professional scenarios and social landscapes.
My greatest life teacher remains my husband, with whom I share a life filled with love, respect, and a spirit of compromise, transcending cultures and continents.
Humanity, empathy, and a high level of social competence, coupled with dedication, expertise, and adaptability to shifting circumstances, lay a sturdy foundation for success.
