Ruby Wax is a fantastic awards host, after dinner speaker, comedienne and motivational speaker.
Ruby first came to Britain in 1977 and initially trained as an actress working with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
In 1979 she moved into television, writing for ‘Not the Nine O’clock News’. Ruby teamed up with Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders and worked alongside them on a number of television series throughout the 80s and 90s including ‘French and Saunders’ and ‘Absolutely Fabulous’.
Ruby eventually got her own chat show and proceeded to gain access to a vide variety of personalities. Her inimitable style became her trademark and she provided the television public with a truly different insight into the lives of the rich and famous. She has appeared on numerous television shows including ‘The Ruby Wax Show’, ‘Ruby Takes a Trip’ and ‘Ruby’.
Ruby is also an accomplished stand-up comedienne and has taken her tour around the world, as well as participated at a variety of corporate events entertaining after dinner or presenting awards.
Awareness is one of the tools Ruby uses to ground herself when interviewing famous or powerful people, to read their emotions and be able to control her own through selfawareness.
This helps her read their states so she knows when to back off and 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 and emotionally present in order to bring the best out in her guests, getting people out from behind their masks and off their embedded scripts, so that the communication is authentic and the dialogue is “out of the box” and creative.
Ruby shows how, by way of some simple practical exercises, in a very short space of time, leaders can come to a deeper and more direct level of communication with their people, clients and colleagues.
The workshops combine humour with scientific and theoretical learning and practical exercises. Participants leave with a set of tools that will enable them to become more fully present - to themselves, clients, colleagues and subordinates. This kind of communication ensures that the individuals that make up an organisation work from a place of trust and 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 and people work at their best if they feel genuinely listened to and heard – not talked at.
