Why Expertise Alone Is No Longer Enough

Technical expertise is essential, but it is not enough to drive change. You need to influence and make difficult decisions, both of which increasingly depend on how well leaders communicate across disciplines, navigate complexity, and earn trust. The STEMM Influence Lab develops the inner and relational capacities required for sound judgment, credible leadership, and systems-level impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this program suitable for scientists?

Yes. It is designed for scientists working in research, industry, policy, and advisory roles who want to build influence beyond technical expertise.

Is this relevant for technologists and engineers?

Yes. Technologists and engineers often influence high-stakes decisions without formal authority. This program supports credible leadership across technical and organisational boundaries.

What about mathematicians and data professionals?

Yes. The program supports those working with abstract, complex, or probabilistic knowledge to communicate insight, uncertainty, and implications clearly.

Is this relevant for medical and health professionals?

Yes. Medical professionals regularly navigate competing values, evidence constraints, and system pressures. The program strengthens judgment, communication, and ethical influence.

Do I need a formal leadership role?

No. Many participants influence outcomes through expertise rather than hierarchy.

Is this “soft skills” training?

No. The program develops inner capacities such as emotional intelligence, judgment, self-regulation, and perspective-taking as integrated foundations for sound decision-making, communication, and influence in complex, real-world contexts.

These capacities are addressed holistically and applied directly to the professional challenges STEMM leaders face, rather than taught as isolated or generic “soft skills.”

How is this different from executive coaching?

This is a structured self-paced learning program. Coaching psychology is built into the program via reflective questions.

With a world of constant change and challenges, executive coaching continues to evolve to the forefront with COVID-19 only adding to the need. I can honestly say Ruby has a skill set that sets a new agenda for leadership. Whether it a reset, a new lens or refinement of what the best of you looks like, Ruby takes you on a journey well beyond the mirror of review that you may seek. I cannot think of a better place to go on that journey than with Ruby and her team.

Working with Dr Ruby Campbell has been genuinely transformative. Her coaching helped me grow beyond the technical side of engineering into a more self-aware, emotionally intelligent, and influential leader. The shifts I made with Ruby’s guidance continue to shape how I show up at work, at home, and in my community with confidence and an open mind.
