Bio
Rina Maini
Ruth Armstrong was the Facilitator at a BoardMatch Leadership Development seminar I attended. Ruth’s combination of excellent facilitation skills and first hand experience created a stimulating learning environment directing us on a fun and factual journey of discovery and opening new ideas as to where our public role could be. She created an atmosphere of camaderie amongst the attendees – like a true teacher she guided and instructed her pupils, encouraged us to stretch our minds, explore and share ideas and, above all, to learn. Ruth orchestrated the two days like a Maestro building a culture of inquiry, creativity and support amongst us. At the end of the two day seminar the class applauded the host and organizers. However, the ultimate applause, rising to a heavenly crescendo, was for Ruth Armstrong whose rare talent and genius had found a way to enlighten us all.

I had the opportunity to attend a two day conference at Altruvest on Board Governance Management Leadership in the Voluntary Sector which was held by Ruth. I can honestly say I'm a better charity board member for it. Her educational approach was fun and relaxed and yet challenged me to think and in the process learn. I highly recommend engaging her for your non-profit or attending one of her courses.
