At just 17, Ruby juggles A-Levels, fashion-design ambitions and a record-breaking hospice-fundraiser. She credits her school’s “competitive compassion” culture for normalising charity work. Ruby shares how she builds peer support networks, manages exam stress through friend “debrief dinners”, and why asking older generations about their own passions is her favourite icebreaker.

Ruby Woodward Takeaways:

  • Small invitations fight Gen Z isolation better than big campaigns
  • Social rituals beat pricey wellbeing apps for stress relief
  • Curiosity bridges the age gap - ask elders what they’re proud of
  • Optimism is a performance enhancer - Ruby frames every new challenge as “exciting firsts.”
