TESTIMONIALS

Anna

“For a long time, I pushed myself to prove my abilities while secretly doubting my worth. I overanalyzed everything, cared too much about others’ opinions, and struggled to separate emotions from work.

In the 3.5 years I worked with Ruishi, she helped me break that cycle — not by giving me answers directly, but by guiding me to ask the right questions. Whenever I hesitated, I’d hear her voice: ‘Look at the bright side.’ ‘What do you actually want?’

She also taught me a powerful lesson: ‘Don’t take it personally.’ I used to spiral over criticism, but she helped me step back, see the bigger picture, and approach challenges with clarity. Slowly, I built confidence — not just in my work, but in myself.

‘I believe in you. Everyone believes in you. Why don’t you?’ That one sentence carried me through my toughest moments. Under her guidance, I grew from an individual contributor to a team leader.

I’m no longer that hesitant, stubborn girl I once was. Because of Ruishi’s influence, I’ve become a woman who now faces challenges with confidence. We’ve stayed close, and I look forward to the day we meet again — knowing we’ll both be at the top.”

“Sally isn’t just great at what she does — she has the very essence of women empowering women. I remember struggling with an important client presentation, feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to structure my points. Instead of just offering quick feedback, Sally sat down with me, walked me through my ideas, and even stayed late refining my slides. But more than that, she helped me see my own strengths — highlighting what I was doing well and pushing me to own my expertise.

At one point, she looked at me and said, ‘You already have everything you need to do this — clarity, expertise, and perspective. The only thing missing is your own belief in it.‘ That moment stuck with me. It wasn’t just about that one presentation; it was a shift in how I saw myself.

Months later, I found myself in another high-pressure situation — this time, leading a negotiation with a major client. My instinct was to doubt myself, but I heard Sally’s words in my head. Instead of shrinking back, I spoke with authority, trusting that I belonged in the room. That’s who Sally is — someone who sees, supports, and elevates the women around her, leaving them stronger long after the moment has passed.”

“Ruishi is a highly self-aware leader with strong independent judgment. Talking to her is like getting a sharp, no-nonsense insight into a problem while also receiving a steady, empowering energy that makes you feel like everything will be okay.

Whenever I felt lost, stuck, or drained by overthinking, she helped me cut through the noise, prioritize what truly matters, and find a clear way forward — while also letting go of unnecessary emotional burdens. But more than that, she made me see that any choices I make, anything I want, and any path I choose for myself are all worth defending and pursuing.

Her guidance has been an irreplaceable force in my growth.”

Louise

“Sally is the kind of woman who is clear-headed, unapologetic, and deeply self-loving. She moves through the world with a soft heart, a full spirit, and an unwavering core.

I saw this firsthand when a younger colleague was struggling to speak up in meetings. Instead of just encouraging her with empty words, Sally took the time to coach her — helping her refine her points, strategizing when to jump in, and even running practice sessions to build her confidence. The transformation was incredible. That same colleague, once hesitant and overlooked, is now leading discussions with poise. Sally’s strength isn’t just in what she accomplishes herself — it’s in how she lifts others to stand taller, speak louder, and own their space.”

“Working with Ruishi was a turning point in my career. In the six months we worked together, she helped me shift from uncertainty to clarity, from hesitation to confidence. I came in unsure of how to lead, communicate, or manage high-stakes projects — and I left with a mindset I still rely on every day.

One of the biggest lessons she taught me has stayed with me to this day: ‘If planning is painful, execution becomes effortless.’ I didn’t fully understand it at first. But after struggling through a tough project, I realized how true it was. With her guidance, I learned how to think several steps ahead, structure my plan, and manage roadblocks before they became problems. Now, in my current job, I approach every challenge with clear logic and a plan I can stand behind.

I also used to dread verbal reporting — I’d lose my train of thought, get nervous, and quietly envy colleagues who spoke with ease. When I shared this with Ruishi, she listened, understood exactly where my fear came from, and reminded me that great communicators aren’t born — they’re made. She helped me organize my thoughts, rehearse my message, and encouraged me to keep showing up — even when it felt uncomfortable. That shift in mindset and skill didn’t just help me speak better — it changed how I see myself at work.

More than her guidance, what stood out most was how Ruishi made me feel. I felt safe, but never coddled — pushed, but never judged. She believed in me long before I believed in myself. The lessons I learned from her didn’t just help me during those six months — they continue to shape how I think, work, and lead today.”
