   Why Success Now Means Having Time, Not Just Doing More

   Leadership isn’t always about being in front. Sometimes the most powerful move is knowing when to step back, listen, and make space for someone else to rise. Ruby Campbell has spent years serving New Westminster as a city councillor and working with the city, but her story is really about something bigger than titles. She joins Charie Ginete Ilon to talk about the connections that shaped her, the youth activists who changed her perspective, and why her next chapter at Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation feels like a full-circle return to purpose-driven work. In this thoughtful conversation, Ruby shares how she learned to lead from a place of gratitude, why the loudest voices are not always the ones doing the hardest work, and what it means to measure success by time, peace, and the ability to say no. She also opens up about: The influence of her mother and daughter on her leadership style The perspective shift that came from listening to youth speak about the climate crisis How to work with people you disagree with without taking it personally Why public service and philanthropy are both rooted in lifting others up The importance of taking action instead of overthinking How to live with fewer regrets and greater intention This conversation is a grounded reminder that meaningful leadership is built through humility, perspective, and the courage to support the greater good. If you’re navigating a transition, rethinking success, or looking for inspiration to live more intentionally, this episode will leave you reflecting long after it ends.
