A keynote speaker who speaks about keynote speaking? Well, not exactly.

As an expert communicator who talks about the power excellent communication has to advance business and personal interests, you might think Ruth Sherman is bent on persuading audiences they, too, can become leadership motivational speakers. And for audiences who have that calling, Ruth can certainly help. But communication - and now, video communication that requires VideoCharisma® – is so much more. It’s actually incredibly nuanced and it is those subtle shades with outsize and surprising effects that Ruth brings forth in her motivational speeches about leadership including…

• How much knowledge it actually takes to move people to action.

• The truth about practice, because while a professional leadership inspirational speaker has to put in a lot of practice time to attain true mastery and captivate audiences, professionals in other fields who must speak about and present their work wonder how much practice time is enough when there are only 24 hours in a day.

• Understanding that whatever your job or professional expertise, if you cannot explain how what you do transforms lives, people will not buy what you’re selling. And no, you don’t have to be selling the “mountaintop” to be transformational.

• That the right stories are not limited to the “Once upon a time“ or “hero journey” versions that the storytelling industry has been insisting will help make your boring, dry technical information come alive, but are instead actually much broader, and are revealed to you Every. Single. Day. You just have to learn how to capture them.

So, no, Ruth doesn’t want to remake you in her own image to become a leadership motivational keynote speaker. She wants to show you how to find and capitalize on your own unique and authentic style that will accelerate your success and help you get the job done. Ok, ok… there is some technique involved too, but Ruth promises you already do most of it.

All she truly cares about is that you gain the tools to harness the immense power you already inherently possess to communicate with confidence and authority in your field, in your environment, with your people. It’s that simple.

The motivational keynote speeches below can all be customized to appeal to a variety of groups, levels, businesses, and organizations.

Ruth’s leadership motivational keynote speaking can be tailored for any audience.

It’s not only corporate leaders that Ruth Sherman considers when creating and tailoring her leadership inspirational keynote speeches. In collaboration with the client team, Ruth goes deep into the mandate for the event so people at every level – from administrative assistants to the Board Chair – walk out better than they came in.

In fact, one of Ruth’s core tenets is that we are all leaders, deserving of respect and of being treated to a keynote speech that will deliver tools guaranteed to make a difference in their lives and livelihoods.

Furthermore, while her core message is almost always around the topic of leadership communication, she knows that to inspire, motivate, and persuade, she must understand not only the business, but its hierarchy and structure.

As a matter of fact, Ruth considers this one of the most exciting parts of her job, the gift her position, as someone who delivers inspirational keynote speeches, plays in learning about different businesses and meeting so many fascinating and creative people!
