Thank you for delivering this insightful and humble training to our business. Ruth absolutely rocked our session with her awesome energy and empathy. I haven't seen such a participative session in a very long time - which is not an easy task especially virtually. | Martin | Codebase | https://placid-fra.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/production/rest-images/zqiq8n9efryrq/airtable-9b4760e9230eac2c39a251a7c39480a6-gjbdvdnc.png

About Ruth Penfold

Has over two decades of experience as a People and Talent expert
Has built teams and cultures for companies like Shazam, Onfido, and bp Launchpad
Is the founder of Bloom, a progressive leadership methodology, career accelerator, and community for women in HR
Ruth Penfold-Brown has been a People, Culture and Talent expert for over two decades. Ruth has built and rebuilt teams and cultures for companies like Shazam, Onfido and bp Launchpad as leader and Chief People Officer.

Having experienced the chaos of rapid growth first-hand, Ruth learnt how to build human centric, vibrant cultures that scale. She also experienced first-hand the challenges of both getting there and operating at that level as a woman but doing so in a way where she and the humans around her truly thrived.

That is what has inspired her to build Bloom, a leadership methodology originally solely for women, but now delivered to cohorts, teams, and individuals of all genders, depending on the client's needs. At its heart, Bloom is a methodology that builds self-awareness, confidence, ownership, and authenticity.

Ruth Penfold
Thank you for delivering this insightful and humble training to our business. Ruth absolutely rocked our session with her awesome energy and empathy. I haven't seen such a participative session in a very long time - which is not an easy task especially virtually. | Martin | Codebase | https://placid-fra.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/production/rest-images/zqiq8n9efryrq/airtable-9b4760e9230eac2c39a251a7c39480a6-gjbdvdnc.png
Bloom created a session for the Rise, by Barclays community on the topic of avoiding burnout and working sustainability. This was a superbly ran session: with a contagiously positive energy, providing guided tips and resources. I highly recommend Bloom to anyone interested in transforming their relationship to work. | Nura | Rise by Barclays | https://placid-fra.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/production/rest-images/zqiq8n9efryrq/airtable-48cb1d73bd39b6830683733c2af5eb7d-jsciqnkq.png
One of the unique and differentiating values that Ruth brings to the table is her common sense gained from 20+ years in People + Talent, which added to her understanding of psychology makes her a wonderful coach and facilitator to work with. | Helene | Pfizer | https://placid-fra.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/production/rest-images/zqiq8n9efryrq/airtable-d980877136ffcc9450c64f3f79076946-6sdxezrp.png
