Storytelling Workshops

My storytelling workshops are designed to nurture an organizational culture of social & environmental good, boost team morale by centering personal purpose, and to empower employees to find their voice so they can be more effective ambassadors for themselves, and your company. 

By encouraging your teams to connect their personal mission with their work, my goal is to create a space for belonging, spark inspiration, and foster imagination so they can show up as their best and brightest selves.

Workshop Topic Examples:

  • How to Communicate Sustainability with Integrity

  • Own Your Narrative: A Storytelling & Personal Branding Workshop


Ruby facilitated an amazing in-person workshop on Personal Branding and Storytelling for our kick-off event of the 6th cohort of the European Innovation Council (EIC) Women’s Leadership Program. She is a great speaker, and made the workshop interactive and its content directly applicable. What’s more, Ruby created a safe space for everyone to share openly. When asking participants to share their personal mission statements, it stood out that the ones who hadn’t shared much before, suddenly felt comfortable and confident to share their responses with the group.

Event Emcee

In addition, I leverage my performing arts & broadcasting experience as an event emcee for conference & corporate events. Through this work, I help you create a curated brand experience that is truly reflective of your company’s ethos by being a values-aligned brand ambassador with a unique combination of stage experience and sustainability knowledge.

Emceeing the Sustainable Apparel Coalition’s Annual Conference in Singapore, attended by 500+ global sustainability leaders. Additionally, I also served as the content producer for the event and assisted with the development of event branding.

Ruby brings great energy to events, panels and presentations. She’s well-prepared, very clear even for non-native English speaking audiences, and has a gift for getting people to focus on what’s going on. Especially in international settings, when people are perhaps tired or just got off a plane - someone who can raise energy levels and convey the key messages is so important. That’s Ruby, quite uniquely.
— Alexander Kohnstamm, Executive Director at Fairwear Foundation
