The shift inside shifts the outside.

Coaching, advisory and consulting in leadership, business growth and financial wellness.

Premise

We work across four areas: human development, leadership development, business development and financial wellness. Our premise is simple. Lasting change in leadership, revenue and results starts with how a person thinks, decides and leads themselves.

Most support treats the inner work and the commercial work as separate things. At Semere & Co, they sit in the same room. Self-awareness meets strategy. Ambition meets the numbers.

About

How we work

Semere & Co works through coaching (1:1 and group programs), advisory, consulting, workshops and speaking.

Every engagement starts inside: the beliefs, habits and blind spots that drive behavior. From there, the work moves outward into decisions, strategy and measurable results. Clients leave with more self-knowledge and a clearer plan, and they know their numbers.

Voices

When choosing a coach to support our sales team, Rut was the obvious choice for us! She hosted a half-day workshop on Self-leadership and managed to create significant impact in very little time. Rut is one of the most inspirational people I have met, and really knows how to get a room engaged.

Helena Fryklund, CSO, Lanterna Education

Ruthie is an outstanding executive coach and an all-round decipherer of people. Through our 1:1 coaching engagement, she helped me sharpen my negotiation and communication skills in ways that have had a direct impact on how I lead and operate. She reads people accurately, asks the questions that actually matter, and the results show up in real life.

Shalani S, Senior Associate, European Climate Foundation

We had the real pleasure of having Ruthie as the moderator at our event, Tillväxtdagen in Oct 2024. With her own experience as an entrepreneur and a passion for entrepreneurship, Ruthie did a fantastic job as a moderator. She elevated the entire day with her engaging and genuine manner of interacting with the speakers and guiding the audience throughout the event.

Mikael Ramnö, Project Manager, Stockholm Business Region

I joined Ruthie initially to work on how to present myself authentically to the world and to become more confident. Instead, I left with answers to a lot of questions I hadn't even thought to ask, a new sense of self-assurance and appreciation and finally being able to feel like and be myself. As a bi-cultural woman, Ruthie made me feel seen and heard, something that I didn't realise I was missing.

Sabrina Hall, Global Communications Specialist, Tony's Chocolonely

My biggest shift has been realizing that self-leadership is not about doing more, but about aligning with what truly matters to me. I've learned how to set clearer boundaries, prioritize more effectively, and trust myself in decision-making. And honestly, Ruthie herself is what makes the experience so powerful.
