My name is Ruth Bennett. I have recently retired from teaching at Western Carolina University and UNC’s LearnNC program. I still teach online for the University of Phoenix. Although I have taught throughout my career, my primary work for many years was to provide training, executive coaching, and consulting in communication and the management of people to a wide variety of organizations. I still do some of that on occasion. During my work life, I have taught at a number of Boston area colleges, been a college administrator, worked with high risk inner city children, provided career counseling and training to women wanting to re-enter the job market, and directed tours and cruises in the US and Canada. As you can see, I like challenges and I am a great fan of growth and change.

I have my BA and MA from Emerson College, a communication arts and sciences college, and I have published in professional journals in Canada and the United States.
