Ruth Bradshaw

I found Ruth when I was going through redundancy and was at a career crossroads. Ruth’s support, encouragement and guidance allowed me space to consider my strengths again and also where and how I wanted to use these going forward. I went into job interviews re energised and more confident and had a choice of roles. I cannot thank Ruth enough for coaching me through my career block. Highly recommend anyone to access sessions with Ruth!

I have had the great pleasure of working with Ruth for over a decade. She was the 'go to' person when we were preparing our Undergraduate Leaders for the workforce. Her approach is open, honest and engaging. The support that she provides ensures that you think differently about your approach and reflect on what works and what doesn't.Francesca Walker-MartinReader in Work Based Learning

Her style is friendly, engaging and gently persistent.She helped me to explore my motivators and values as well as helping me to develop more practical skills.In particular, I felt our meetings had a good balance of her listening and questioning, with just the right amount of input from her in terms of reflection on experience and guidance on potentially thorny issues such as personal brand an online presence.I am delighted to be able to recommend Ruth’s coaching services.

Having been at my current organisation for 16 years in a variety of roles I had lost my direction and I am so happy I found Ruth.

She held me accountable and I will will always be grateful for the support she provided.I am now about to take the next step in my career and am happy to recommend Ruth to those looking to do the same.Phil Ivers - Head of Operations @ Gazprom Energy

Ruth was a great help in providing structure and support during my transition into a new career and area of work.Working with her provided a much-needed structure while while still leading in the driving seat which allowed me to work towards choosing a new career based on my own priorities strengths and aspirations. She was kind, considerate and rational and became a stabilising force during a process that can otherwise feel very overwhelmingI am very happy with the new job that I was recently accepted and Ruth’s process has left me feeling that I made an empowered choice in my new area of work.Thank you, Ruth!
