How can I help you?

Workshop planning and delivery
From one hour to full days, I plan and deliver professional development programs customised to your needs. Uniquely, I include a followership perspective to recognise and engage with all of your team and their contributions.

Workshop titles include:

  • More than follow the leader

  • Effective change management for leaders and followers

  • Leading and following in the board room

During the workshop I learned:
the importance of being and supporting followers
strength and power of followership
leading and following is all about the relationship
we can all be effective leaders and followers

As a result of the workshop I will:
be a great follower
become more conscious of my engagement as a leader and follower
reflect on how I lead (and follow) but also how other staff follow me …what characteristics their followership has to assist me to be a good leader

workshop participants’ feedback

Speaking
Curious about how followership shifts the focus as we look to new, more effective, ways of leading? I share what I’ve found bringing together academic expertise and professional practice with topics including:

  • Followership: doing leadership differently

  • Modelling effective leadership and followership

Coaching and mentoring
Working with your team members in 1 on 1 or group coaching sessions exploring how to work better by taking followership seriously.

Organisational planning and review
Sometimes you need a fresh perspective. I bring an ability to see the big picture as well as the detail and, importantly, connections between ideas and people.

Strong intuition, attention to process and a solid understanding of organisational development principles

I recommend others seek out Ruth’s expertise in this area to appreciate how well followership will weave into their leadership, culture and organisational development strategies.

I highly recommend Ruth’s work as a significant missing piece of the leadership puzzle, and equally as much recommend Ruth herself as a generous, warm provider of knowledge and insight.
