Helping People Inspire Market Confidence.

Meet Ruth Sherman, motivational keynote speaker.

As “speech coach to the stars” (just coached her sixth Oscar-winner) and a leading female motivational speaker on diverse topics ranging from how to charismatically command any room to the miracle of focused practice, Ruth Sherman changes lives.

Known for her warm and breezy, humorous and infectious style, Ruth’s leadership keynote speaking moves audiences to action – and to their feet! And she shows audiences how they can do the same. Ruth is focused on her deep belief that charisma is not inborn; it’s learned. Even Ruth’s fellow introverts can succeed. Yep, Ruth is quite introverted, though she enjoys (most) people ;-)

“Charisma isn’t inborn. It’s learned.”

~ Ruth Sherman

In her decades-long career as a business motivational speaker, public speaking coach, and communications consultant, author, and commentator, Ruth has partnered with top global companies, ranging from technology to finance to entertainment. In fact, as of 2022, she now counts 6 Oscar-winning clients! As a mom of two daughters, she is particularly passionate about women’s success and as a female motivational keynote speaker, brings her powerful conviction that great communicators are not born, they are developed.

Her original career and deep training as a performing artist not only equipped her with the skills of stage presence, it convinced her that she could have an even greater impact in the corporate world and reach even more people as a leadership keynote speaker, adding to her existing expertise and lengthy experience as a leadership communications trainer and coach. Furthermore, Ruth knows these skills are the keys to building an authentic, personal brand that becomes visible the moment someone enters a room – for real or virtually – and with proper care and feeding, will last a lifetime.

Once again, you brought your A-game. We received overwhelmingly positive feedback on your session in particular. It was extremely informative and our attendees benefited from hearing your powerful presentation and practical advice. I look forward to working with you again.”

~ Marcia Davies, COO, Mortgage Bankers Association

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

To change minds, you have to inspire.

As one of the top, female motivational keynote speakers, Ruth has learned the hard way that whether it’s about customer service, peak performance, corporate culture, or leadership, speaking and communicating authentically is fundamental to persuasion. As a coaching and training entrepreneur, she recognized if she wasn’t out there as a keynote speaker herself, her credibility would be impeded. As a creative professional, she sought out the help she needed to re-train herself to deliver leadership keynote speaking to her global clientele. Even as a well-trained performer, it was no easy task but the results are clear and apparent in the content and the delivery of Ruth’s leadership keynote speaking. Content such as . . .

“What you say and how you say it influences the way people think, feel and behave.”
