RUBY WAX |
| Ruby Wax is a fantastic awards host, after dinner speaker, comedienne & motivational speaker. |
| Ruby first came to Britain in 1977 & initially trained as an actress working with the Royal Shakespeare Company. After two years, she moved into television writing for Not the Nine O'Clock News & subsequently teamed up with Dawn French & Jennifer Saunders working alongside them on a number of television series throughout the 1980s & 1990s including; French & Saunders and Absolutely Fabulous. |
| Ruby eventually got her own chat show & proceeded to gain access to a wide variety of personalities. Her inimitable style became her trademark & she provided the television public with a truly different insight into the lives of the rich & famous. She has appeared on numerous television shows including; The Ruby Wax Show, Ruby Takes a Trip & Ruby. |
| Ruby is also an accomplished stand-up comedienne & has taken her tour around the world, as well as participated at a variety of corporate events entertaining after dinner or presenting awards. |
| Motivational & Leadership Speaking:- |
| Awareness is one of the tools Ruby uses to ground herself when interviewing famous or powerful people, to read their emotions & be able to control her own through self-awareness. |
| This helps her read their states so she knows when to back off & when to go in and put them at their ease to get them out of their 'automatic pilot mode'. After showing a few video clips of her work, she describes how in the interviewing process one needs to be highly focussed, aware & emotionally present in order to bring the best out in her guests, getting people out from behind their masks & off their embedded scripts, so that the communication is authentic & the dialogue is 'out of the box' & creative. |
| Ruby shows how, by way of some simple practical exercises, in a very short space of time, leaders can come to a deeper & more direct level of communication with their people, clients & colleagues. |
| The workshops combine humour with scientific & theoretical learning & practical exercises. Participants leave with a set of tools that will enable them to become more fully present - to themselves, clients, colleagues & subordinates. This kind of communication ensures that the individuals that make up an organisation work from a place of trust & transparency. Ruby demonstrates how leaders can get the best out of their teams by creating a climate of positivity, not fear. Fear or stress passes like a virus through organisations. Teams & people work at their best if they feel genuinely listened to & heard - not talked at. |
