"We had the privilege of hosting Ruth Limkin as the keynote speaker at our staff retreat, attended by 150 independent school staff. Ruth's presentation, "A Life That Thrives," delivered a insightful perspective on the crucial topic of staff wellbeing. Ruth is quickly becoming a nationally recognised authority in this field. Her extensive professional background, active role as an advocate for positive wellbeing and her deep understanding of organisational culture across contexts, enable her to speak with wisdom into the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions of wellbeing. This holistic approach deeply resonated with our team. Ruth’s ability to connect the theoretical with the practical led to a keynote which not only increased the knowledge base of our team but also provided our staff with actionable strategies to embark on a path towards thriving. Her presentation was underpinned by research and illustrated through her own life experiences. Ruth speaks with a blend of warmth and humour that held the attention of the entire audience. I wholeheartedly endorse Ruth Limkin as an exceptional keynote speaker for your organisation."
