Message : Pandemic has been a very challenging time for all of us globally…people have gone through a roller coaster of emotions..angry, confused, scared, depressed…so someone has to keep calm & take charge to help! I have been conducting various educational sessions & training programs to connect people emotionally! I am on a noble mission to educate people world-wide on life-skills, empathy and empowerment.


Ruby’s Magic Mantra of 4Ps to deal with Pandemic:


Person: Do a self-analysis, Be a better version of yourself


People: COVID-19 is about social distancing, not emotional distancing; Connect with people around you emotionally, bridge gaps & make your relationships stronger every single day


Purpose: What is the real purpose of your life? Try to find it now, God has given you this valuable opportunity, don’t waste it…just grab it & Re-invent the awesome YOU


Path: How are you going to accomplish your purpose in life? Define the path with clarity & conviction & Go for it NOW!
