Ruth — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 12:01:42 +0000

We want to take this opportunity to introduce you to the Authentic Success Club™, designed to propel your leadership and your life to a whole new level. From gems of knowledge to exclusive networking opportunities, from continuous learning and application in the real world, this is about being uniquely you, shining bright, thinking big, and settling for nothing less than what you deserve – which of course is the very best.

The Authentic Success Club™ has been designed for leaders with a desire to reach their full potential and leave a welcome legacy in their chosen field of business.

Who you are, what you stand for and how you make people feel, are just as important as the thing you sell. As a leader when you walk into the room what do you bring with you – and when you leave what do you leave behind?

Introducing The Silver Tier Of The Authentic Success Club – Delivering Pragmatic And Powerful Information And Strategies To Help You Take Your Authentic Leadership To The Next Level

Are you a leader who is ready to step things up to the next level? Are you ready to make 2010 your best year ever? Would you like to learn proven strategies from a proven entrepreneurial leader? Have you wanted to be a part of a powerful, ongoing business program… but you’re on a tight budget?

Well that’s why Ruth is offering the Silver tier of her Authentic Success Club.

Ruth designed the Authentic Success Club based on her experiences in personally working with hundreds of leaders as well as her experiences in working with her own mentors and coaches. She wanted a club with scalable levels of support and mentoring — with options for all leaders whatever their level in the organisation.

Silver is ideal for junior to middle leaders or small business owners who are ready to take their career and business to the next level — at very little cost!

Register for the first quarter (which begins in February), where Ruth will guide you through the seminal text Think and Grow Rich. Plus you’ll get ring side access to the Master Class on Building Trust in the workplace, with Sue Swanborough, HR Director for General Mills UK.

This club is packed with value – here are the exact details of what you get, including a one off bonus but you need to act before the 28th January to get it.

Self Image = Results

Ruth — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 10:45:37 +0000

Your self image is determining your results. Now maybe you’ve never seen your identity as directly linked to the results you’ve achieved or will go on to achieve. In essence we can’t outperform our sense of self. Well you can but only for a short while and then, like an elastic band, it snaps back to where it knows.

You’ve no doubt heard people say “act as if”, or ” you have to be it before you can receive it”. We see this commonly in the workplace when people are doing a role before they get the promotion.

Self esteem, self confidence, results, success, resilience, adaptability are all tied up to self image / identity.

Any time you say “i am…” you’re making a statement about your identity.

Now most of us talk a lot but don’t really pay 100% attention to what we’re saying. Your identity is unconsciously running you.

This autumn you can change all that. You could decide you’re going to understand the power of self image and identity, and work on making sure yours is working for you, not against you. Join me on my 8 week study group, we’re doing this by phone so it’s really easy to join in. You can get the full details here.

Self Belief + Talent = Success

Ruth — Tue, 05 May 2009 16:13:21 +0000

I haven’t avidly been watching Britain’s Got Talent, but I catch the odd episode and over the last couple of years I’ve noticed a theme. Talented person comes on but lacks self confidence. Simon Cowell goes through a few facial expressions, Amanda perhaps sheds a few tears and then we get the review at the end. At this point they invariably comment on the talent and then Simon highlights the gap between being this talented and not yet having the success they desire and indeed deserve; it’s always down to lacking self confidence – or as Simon tells them – it’s about believing in yourself. Their key instruction between then and the next stage is to work on their self belief, not go and practice your talent.

What are your talents, gifts and if you’re really not sure you have any of them, what are your strengths?

Do you acknowledge these in yourself and to yourself?

To what extent do you believe in yourself?

Most of us do fail to recognise our talents enough and then if we do we act modestly about them. Actually the classic sign of lacking self belief is when someone compliments you and you reject it “oh no I’m not really that good / well it was alright but I didn’t do a/b/c”. When did you last accept the compliment and just say “thank you”. You don’t even have to bask in the feel good factor of a compliment if you don’t want. Just stop yourself from slapping the giver in the face (metaphorically speaking) and telling them their judgement is not up to much. Plus every time you do this you re-enforce out loud the fact you don’t believe in yourself and if you don’t why should anyone else. Fortunately they often do, but after a while if you persist then they’ll stop, or at least stop re-enforcing their belief in you and the possibility to achieve more success than you perhaps first thought possible.

Don’t let your talent go to waste.
