Losing Yourself

  • Lead sustainably
  • Reconnect to identity
  • Strengthen boundaries
  • Lead from authenticity rather than pressure
  • learn how to perform excellently without the burn-out
Ruth Heron Portrait

Many leaders spend years developing their role… while slowly becoming disconnected from themselves underneath it.

When leadership becomes disconnected from identity, it can become exhausting instead of sustainable. But when leaders reconnect to WHO they are, leadership becomes more grounded, authentic, and impactful.

Sustainable leadership is not just about managing workload.

It is about protecting identity.

Mindset Coach

"Ruth is simply fantastic, incredibly perceptive and intuitive, and she has helped me enormously. Before I met Ruth, I was struggling to find a path forward professionally and was constantly getting in my own way. Ruth created a safe yet challenging space, and I have been able to find a way to walk forward with strength and power in my stride. As a former Chief Operating Officer myself, I have coached many people professionally, and I must say that Ruth is another level of fantastic."
