Life and Leadership Coach
Ruth Manou
Who am I?
I’m Ruth Manou, a certified Life and Leadership Coach (PCC, ICF) with a strong background in psychology, behavioral science, and business strategy.
What inspires me to be a coach?
Ten years ago, I was juggling a high-paced executive life in Paris and being a new mom. On paper, I had it all, but inside, I felt drained and disconnected. Quitting my job and moving abroad with my family didn’t magically fix it; but it made me realize true fulfillment had to come from within, not from “ticking boxes” or chasing someone else’s version of success.
By exploring my inner world, shaping my beliefs, leaning into my emotions, and healing deeper wounds, I created a life that energizes and fulfills me. I became a coach to help others reclaim that same power and live authentically,
joyfully, and aligned with who they truly are. My work sits at the intersection of leadership, well-being, and sustainable change, supporting women who want to juggle multiple roles with more ease, confidence, and clarity.

Services
Working with Ruth has been a truly transformative experience. Her coaching style is both empowering and respectful, allowing me to find motivation from within without ever feeling pressured or pushed in a direction I wasn’t comfortable with.
Ruth has a unique ability to guide with care, honoring my autonomy and helping me discover the best path forward for myself. Her support has been invaluable, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a coach who genuinely listens and tailors their approach to fit your needs.
Thank you, Ruth, for your incredible guidance!
