In addition to publishing in academic journals, she is a contributor to Forbes and Psychology Todaywhere she writes about ‘optimizing success’. Her research is about the mindset and skill set of peak performers, including Nobel laureates, astronauts and Olympic champions. Her forthcoming book, The Success Factor, will be out in January. SUE SAYS We talk on the show often about being the only woman in the room. For Ruth, she was the only girl in four generations in her family! This comfortableness around boys led her to become the very first girl on the boys soccer team at 10 years old. A true lesson in determination and living by the questions, why not?
