Her work
An academy, two faculties, and a long list of things done for free
The teaching is the constant. Everything else grew out of it.
Founded 2021 · Vaud, Switzerland
RBK Academy Swiss
Building emotionally intelligent leaders who communicate with confidence and lead with impact.
Ruby founded RBK Academy Swiss in 2021. It works with corporate teams, hospitality groups and universities, and it carries her method: interactive, gamified, and built on the idea that people learn best when they are enjoying themselves.
Signature programmes
Emotional Intelligence Leadership Program™
Self-awareness, regulation and empathy as leadership skills rather than soft ones.
Confident Communication & Public Speaking™
The programme closest to her own story — taking people from reluctance to a room they can hold.
Human-Centered Leadership in the AI Era™
What leadership has to become when the technology changes faster than the org chart.
In the classroom
Nearly thirty years of teaching
From a college in Lucknow in 1997 to two Swiss faculties today. The courses under each post are the ones she taught there.
