About Ruby


HELLO ACTION TAKER!

I’m Ruby Maddox…


I’m a Purpose Coach, Speaker, and workshop facilitator, dedicated to helping you connect to your purpose, cultivate your potential, and make an unbeatable action plan towards your success.

The Starting

Point


My story as a Purpose Coach began while working in the higher education sector for over 12 years. I developed a model to help students find their path in the world and take action towards the goals that mattered to them the most.

I realized these students were every one of us, filled with so much potential but hardly living it out because we don’t know how to ‘Direct our purpose’. We are used to operating below our highest potential.

I decided to take this model, refine it, and use it to help everyone, not just students.


Today I’ve established the Direct Your Purpose (DYP) framework that transforms the lives of participants (both individuals and teams), allowing you to develop your vision and walk into your success story.

My Vision


Helping others live out their potential has always been a big part of who I am and the things I do. I’m the co-founder of two nonprofit organizations focused on social justice, leadership, and equity.

I have spent over 15 years working in nonprofit management and philanthropy.

My vision is to see you live your best life once you become purpose-oriented. It’s a transformation I have seen happen countless times with the DYP framework.

 

I provide the support, guidance, and accountability you need to go through the DYP framework, but in the end, you’ll be able to keep the connection to your purpose, gain lasting clarity, and call the shots on your own.

I’m confident in your capacity for success; for bring those ideas, dreams, or projects to life!
