Meet Ruth-Anne

Levade, is a classical dressage movement. It showcases a horse's training, discipline, strength, balance, and harmony between horse and rider. Finding the right speaker for an audience can be compared to mastering a dressage movement like the Levade.

Just as the Levade requires a strong connection and harmony between horse and rider, selecting the ideal speaker involves establishing a connection between the speaker and the audience. The speaker must have the right balance of expertise, charisma, and communication skills to engage the audience effectively. In every case, a rigorous evaluation, training, and refinement process leads to a harmonious and successful outcome, whether it is an impressive dressage performance or a memorable and impactful presentation by the chosen speaker.

    Bill Bishop - CEO BIG Idea Coach & Entrepreneur

  • Over the past 24 years, my Group had come to expect excellence in the speaker programs I was able to bring to them. I contacted Ruth-Anne Marley for some recommendations. Within a short period of time, Ruth-Anne had learned from me the broadly stated goals which described what I was looking for. Her response was rapid, thorough, and exactly on target. In the time available, I simply could not have found the resources she suggested to me and contacted on my behalf. I conducted phone interviews with the speakers Ruth-Anne suggested, several of whom she had first-hand knowledge of, and within weeks, my 2023 speaker schedule was complete. I have been smiling ever since. In the three months completed thus far, my members are quite pleased with the speakers who have helped me get 2023 off to a great start.

You trust that she will find the right speaker who's the right fit for an event; her competence shines through in her insightful curiosity and knowledge of the business speaking world; her heart is such that people who have worked with her talk about her with limitless respect and warmth, as you would a cherished friend, mentor, or trusted confidante.
