For her research, she has interviewed some of the most successful people in the world, including Nobel Prize winners, astronauts, Olympians, and NBA champions, uncovering the strategies behind their achievements and sharing actionable insights with audiences worldwide. Hailed by Nature, Wall Street Journal, and Columbia University, she was named a top 20 mentor worldwide.

A prolific contributor to Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, Forbes, and Psychology Today, Ruth focuses on the mindset and skill set of peak performers.
