Open Book Management - Build a Transparent Company

As this was my first 1-on-1 business coaching experience, I didn't know what to expect and what true value it would have for my business.

I'm delighted to say that I have been FLOORED by the insights Ruth has brought to the table and that she has been able to draw directly out of me --things I had no idea were holding me back, and ways to propel my business forward where it was stuck.

I highly recommend Ruth if you're looking for that *something* you just know is right behind the curtain. She'll help you find it.

Here we are going on yr. 4 of this recession, and if your business is struggling and you have yet to use a business consultant to help you move forward, you're crazy.

Luckily, if you live in Nevada County you're in luck. Ruth Schwartz opened up our books in early 2009 and immediately pointed out the problem. We jumped right in to fix that problem and haven't looked back since.

Our gross revenues are back up to where they were before the recession hit and we have several new profit centers that we are continuing to develop. Make no mistake, if you bring Ruth into your business she will make you work hard and hold you accountable. But that is exactly what it takes to succeed in this business environment.

Ruth Schwartz will get you back on track. That's certainly what she did for us at Clientworks.

Ruth's valuable experience in marketing, human resources and accountability have helped me develop these practical skills for my business. After only a few months using Ruth's coaching and working with the TAB Board, my business has set a course in a newly-focused direction, with increased satisfaction for me and my staff.

Ruth's coaching and my TAB board have transformed my thinking and my business. The combination of her insight and resources is priceless!

Ruth brings inspiration, great brainstorming, and action packed business development ideas to her workshops!

Ruth has help our company work better together more like a team than just individuals working at the same location. Which I did not realise was missing before I hired her.
And as the owner-manager I'm held accountable to planning and forward thinking that I always thought I was to busy to do. Ruth always seams to be one step ahead of me. She is a motivating and empowering business coach. With a wealth of business experience and knowledge. My only regret is that we didn't meet sooner.

I have attended 3 of Ruth's business workshops. She was dynamic and they were enlightening. I now know where to best spend my time, have identified and enhanced my strengths and have moved forward into 2009 with a plan for success that's working!

In working with Ruth to edit the 50 or so pages of content at the new High Performance Advocates website, I got to know very well her solid understanding of how to create better workplaces with constantly improving bottom lines. She has the rare combination of book-learning and on-the-ground experience that make for a powerful business coach. And her energy and enthusiasm are infectious!

Ruth has already built one multi-million dollar business from scratch, and I'm sure she's in the process of repeating the task--this time, by helping others learn from her decades of management and executive experience.

Ruth follows up relentlessly, doing everything in her power to help her clients be successful, and also to help her clients effectively build and inspire their own teams.

Ruth has incredible presence. Her knowledge of her subject matter and her delivery are outstanding. She will provide a great value to all who use her services.
