Do NOT be afraid of change

There are things that will no longer work in 2024 and beyond.

Change is about NOTICING

what's no longer working &

stepping out of the FAMILIAR

patterns & habits that limit,

And INTO The New.

If we are to evolve instead of revolve,

it's time to take action NOW.

Coach Ruth has a really great understanding of the MBTI and the different perspectives each type experiences in the world. Her program helped me so much with my own Self-Care, mental processing, conversations, interactions, and navigating my relationships with opposite types.

She explained the various perspectives of each type in a way that made sense to me and motivated me to work well with them.

Her Scripts are a real Life-Saver.

She is great at showing each type how to work & live well with others. … Coach Ruth supported me using “Translations” that helped me to understand how others think. … Her understanding really helped to smooth interactions with the different MBTI types, and, she demonstrated how-to "Re-Frame Past Experiences"​ in a very practical & clear manner.

I have grown so much in my own confidence through Coach Ruth's guidance and support. … Her knowledge of MBTI Cognitive Stacks empowers her to really help people Navigate Real Life Situations through practical applications such as The Tablecloth (TM) and Table Legs (TM)​. These really simple but effective tools can guide each type into better and deeper understanding. The Result at the end is:

more satisfying experiences in everyday life.


Thanks so much Coach Ruth.

I have known Coach Ruth for about 25 years

now ....since 1997.... and I have always admired her

for these 4 things....

  • Versatility : her ability to be flexible even within structure
  • The Wonderful Way she relates to her clients : always looking at ways to serve them better
  • Her Ability to Find ethically sound, creative, and effective solutions to various kinds of challenges, both business & personal, and
  • The way she is able to create or come up with simple and inexpensive, yet very effective small business and home-based business ideas (like an Idea Factory) AND business promotion strategies.

In addition to seeing The Big Picture clearly,

Coach Ruth is also detail oriented and a bit of

a perfectionist, which results in her work being consistently of high quality.

And on the rare occasion that something does not go quite as planned, she takes responsibility &

makes it right because she values

both fairness and her clients.


She has earned the title :

Solutions Consultant


I highly recommend Coach Ruth.

I loved the DiSC Behaviour Profiling & Debriefing Consultation with Coach Ruth.

She arrived fully prepared with her own notes from analysing my profile and the assessment report's potential impact for me. She walked me through the many different components of my report and shared the results while continually checking in with me and how

I was receiving the information and the meaning

I was giving it.


This TTI Success Insights TriMetrix® DNA

especially valuable in my

coaching and training role

as we help leaders and senior teams get breakthrough results in business.


I loved Ruth’s professionalism, her organisation

and her deep understanding

of human behaviour.

This Debriefing Session has been of enormous value to me, both for myself and my clients.

Thanks to Coach Ruth.

Talent Insights was developed as the world's first multi-science assessment

Talent Insights®

Talent Insights® was developed as the world's first multi-science assessment.

It is unique in the market because it combines the power of TTISI's world famous DISC and Driving Forces assessments into a single, integrated report, BLENDING the Feedback from BOTH Tools.


As a double-science assessment, Talent Insights® provides us with two (2) perspectives to understand the people we work with:


1-- it explores their behavioural style

(HOW they prefer to behave and communicate)

as well as their

2-- personal motivators

(WHY they move into action).


When using a traditional single-dimensional assessment, we can miss (or have to assume) so much about what makes a person who they are.


With a multi-science assessment, such as

Talent Insights® ... we have more places to look for answers and a more complete framework to help people understand themselves and others.

What can I say about Coach Ruth?

In one word, caring. In two words, boldly honest.

In three words, committed to Truth.


I have known Ruth since our university days some forty (40) years ago. She is the same today as she was then—exuberant about G-d's Word.


In the last year, I have studied Hebrew Handwriting with Coach Ruth, and I have benefited tremendously.


My understanding of the L-RD

and His Design and Plan for humanity

has deepened and gained breadth.

I feel more connected to Jesus, and G-D's Presence feels closer and nearer when I am writing the Hebrew script....


It is a palpable experience which has transformed my spiritual journey and strengthened my spiritual life.


I would highly recommend Coach Ruth's

Sample from The Hebrew Lady Method® BOOK SERIES

Lah-med : 12th letter in Hebrew alphabet: Number of Gov't. Symbol of Authority. The goal of Lahmed is heart knowledge from Instruction. To gain knowledge in the heart. Learning & Study. "Come, and let us return to The L-ord" Hosea 6:1 ... "Shepherd Your people with Your Staff, the flock of Your Heritage" Micah 7:14

Sample from The Hebrew Lady Method® BOOK SERIES

Pay-so-feet : 17th letter in Hebrew alphabet: Number of Victory. Symbolizes the Mouth. Declaration. Proclamation. The goal of Pay-so-feet is end a word with Victory & Pizazz because the Spoken Word is Powerful. "The L-ord said to Moses : 'I [GOD] will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say.'" Exodus 4:12

[with the Authority of the 12]

Sample from The Hebrew Lady Method® BOOK SERIES

Tsah-dee-so-feet : 18th letter in Hebrew alphabet. Has a dual meaning, which comes to teach us that each person can choose what they want: they can go to either extreme. Symbolizes both Righteousness and Hunting.

The number 18 represents LIFE. Always coming at the end of a word, Tsah-dee-so-feet indicates the power that comes with true righteousness. "Of the increase of His Government and Peace there will be no end." Isaiah 9:7

Lyrics : Ear Candy for the Curious

Psalm 131

A song of ascents. Of David.

Verse-1 : My heart is not proud,

Lord, my eyes are not haughty;

I do not concern myself with great matters

or things too wonderful for me.

Verse-2 : But I have calmed and quieted myself,

I am like a weaned child with its mother;

like a weaned child I am content.

Verse-3 : Israel, put your hope in

The Lord both now and forevermore.

How Our Childhood Shapes Every Aspect of Our Health

with Dr. Gabor Maté

Talk with renowned addiction expert, physician and best-selling author, Dr. Gabor Maté.

He calls for a compassionate approach toward addiction, whether in ourselves or in others.

Dr Maté believes addiction is not a choice, neither is it all about drugs and illicit substances.

Instead, he believes that addiction affects most of us – whether it be to alcohol, nicotine, sugar, work or exercise…the list is endless.

According to Dr Maté, the source of addiction is not to be found in our genes but in our early childhood.

We also talk about how our emotional stress translates into physical chronic illnesses and

how we now live in a culture that doesn’t meet our human needs.

Indeed, the conditions necessary for healthy child development are increasingly under threat in today’s society.

Loneliness and lack of meaningful connection are on the rise, as are the rates of autoimmune disease and addiction.

We discuss how the way we live our modern lives is impacting us more than we realise.

Just a Poem

I AM THERE

by James Dillet Freeman


Do you need Me?

I AM there.

You cannot see Me, yet I AM

The Light you see by.

You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through

your voice.

You cannot feel Me, yet I AM the power at work in your hands.

I AM at work, though you do not understand My ways.

I AM at work, even though you do not recognize My works.

I AM not strange visions. I AM not mysteries.

Only in absolute stillness, beyond self, can you know Me as I AM, and then but as a feeling and a faith.

Yet I AM there. Yet I hear.

Yet I answer.

When you need Me, I AM there.

Even if you deny Me, I AM there.

Even when you feel most alone, I AM there.

Even in your fears, I AM there.

Even in your pain, I AM there.

I AM there when you pray and when you do not pray.

I AM in you, and you are in Me.

Only in your mind can you feel separate from Me, for only in your mind are the mists of “yours” and “mine.”

Yet only with your mind can you know Me and experience Me.

Empty your heart of empty fears.

When you get yourself out of the way,

I AM there.

You can of yourself do nothing, but I can do all.

And I AM in all.

Though you may not see the good, good is there, for I AM there.

I AM there because I have to be, because

I AM.

Only in Me does the world have meaning; only out of Me does the world take form; only because of Me does the world go forward.

I AM the law on which the movement of the stars and the growth of living cells are founded.

I AM The Love that is the law’s fulfilling.

I AM Assurance.

I AM Peace.

I AM One.

I AM The Law that you can live by.

I AM The Love that you can cling to.

I AM your assurance.

I AM your peace.

I AM one with you.

I AM.

Though you fail to find Me, I do not fail you.

Though your faith in Me is unsure, My faith in you never wavers, because I know you, because I love you.


Beloved, I AM THERE.
