Speaking Engagement: Soft-Skills are the new Hard Skills for Leadership Excellence
Leadership Development
Great leadership is indeed a difficult thing to pin down and understand yet we all know a great leader when we're working with one. For many years now, leaders have been sold an inaccurate checklist of the so-called 'hard-skills' they need to exhibit to get results. Traditionally, these hard-skills might have been sufficient to get leaders into a leadership position, but in today's evolving workplace, they're no longer enough to keep them there.
During this talk, Ruth will explore the notion that when it comes to GREAT leadership, 'soft-skills' are the new 'hard-skills'. Ruth will suggest that if leaders want to reside in that zone of excellence, they will be well served to begin practicing the following 4 leadership aptitudes:
Your Superpower is Emotional Intelligence
Mind Your Mindset
Psychological Safety is Mandatory
Begin with the End in Mind
Speaking Engagement: How to Become a More Resilient Leader
leadership development
In my executive coaching practice, I'm constantly partnering with executives to help them cultivate a resilience mindset. There's a growing body of research suggesting that resilience isn't a trait that leaders either have or do not have. The good news is, resilience is an ongoing skill you can cultivate with certain behaviours and thoughts.
During this talk, Ruth will share ground-breaking research aimed at getting leaders to think critically about 4 success habits they can introduce to their leadership practice to build their own resilience for better results:
Mind Your Mindset
Protect Your Positivity
EI is Your New Superpower
Challenge Your Thoughts

Workshops
Vision AND VALUES-IN-ACTION
workshops
The intention of this workshop is to get you thinking of your company's or department's compelling WHY by guiding you through thought-provoking questions aimed at helping you arrive at your unique vision statement.
By doing this, you are then empowered to define your needed strategy for success; helping each individual understand how what they do fits into the greater vision of your company or department.
What's Included:
Pre-Work Workbook sent to all participants 2 weeks prior to workshop with related exercises to be completed for workshop group break-outs
Review The Golden Circle Model & TED Talk
Group breakout to review completed pre-work responses to the 5 Vision Steps and arrive at final responses for your group
Fifth Element will work with your assigned Vision and Values-in-Action champions to follow-through on next steps to consolidate the group input into a couple draft vision statements to be collaboratively agreed upon
“Fifth Element’s vision workshop was a refreshing departure from conventional vision/mission/purpose sessions. Ruth’s engaging style and substantiated framework helped our executive leadership team show up prepared to confidently respond to thought-provoking exercises to arrive at a compelling and resonant draft of our company’s vision statement and our core values-in-action. Ruth doesn’t just leave it at that - her differentiator is her follow-through - working with the assigned vision champions through subsequent steps with stakeholders in the field to arrive at a final, informed vision statement we can all feel aligned to. High praise for Ruth and this exceptional workshop experience.”
