How I Became a Business Narrative Consultant

Halpern & Associates is a nationally recognized, innovative consulting firm, using business narrative theory to provide powerful, effective communication training services. Founder and President Ruth Halpern has been working in communication training since 1983. She majored in "Forms of Narrative" at the University of California at Berkeley, where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude. Her original business venture was a consultancy that helped professionals improve their written and oral presentation skills. This led to a three-year position teaching “Management Communications” at John F. Kennedy University’s School of Management. Since then, she has worked with professionals and entrepreneurs, corporations and non-profits nationwide, to improve productivity and increase profitability.

Ruth is a nationally known speaker and workshop leader. She’s famous for her entertaining and informative presentations, which keep everyone interacting and engaged.

She has published many articles on professional development in industry journals, and has been a featured speaker at the California State Bar Association, The Commonwealth Club of California, and the Association of Law Office Administrators, and at many other trade shows and seminars.
