Ruth Sirman
Ruth Sirman is an Internationally Certified Mediator (International Mediation Institute), speaker, trainer and consultant with a passion for helping clients create healthy organizations and happy, productive employees since 1992. She has a B.Sc. in Integrated Science and a Master’s Certificate in Mediation.
Ruth combines her 30+ years’ experience as a scientist, mediator, OD consultant, Systems Thinker, farmer, parent and life-long questioner to help organizations understand the dynamics they are facing through a different set of lenses. There is a competitive edge to being able to see patterns, links and connections that are normally hidden, so that the time, energy and resources invested to solve the “problems” are actually solving the problems that are causing the issues… She engages entire organizations in exploring the current reality with a focus on asking the questions that need to be asked, looking below the waterline at what is really going on and helping people make sense of the patterns that emerge.
And if possible she’ll encourage you to take as much of it as possible outside! (kayaking is always an option…)
