"Lead a SuperLife, We nurture the Big 4s: personal wellbeing, physical vitality, education, and career."

Peoplepreneur? Yes I coined the term!

I’m Rouba Chbeir (Ruby), a Peoplepreneur. I reach out to people because “we grow through others”. Since 2015, I run an online chain of kindness (#dailydose) which became a platform of “hope & guidance” for 128+ people. In the United Kingdom, I pursued my Master’s until 2015 when life punched hard.

A book & workshops

Engaging with supermentors, I studied Emotional health, Communication, Assertiveness, Job-hunting & social media, CV-building, Success and experimented Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People notions.

Lebanon, a dancing marathon:

I taught Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Organizational behaviour, Ethics, Personal development & guided students’ pitches, applications - sharing my UKlife kit. By 2017/8, my Economic research made headlines in national and European media publications. Freelancing, I joined Kuwwati’s mobile app as Life & Career Coach and ran 2 marathons - for others. I became an influencer via social running & the 2018 testimonial at Beirut Marathon Association’s 542 Program Launching.

None left behind!

By 2019, #teamruby was born, completing our first 10km Race, No one left behind. #teamruby became a cozy community that is always there. We meet weekly to be outdoors, run, share chats, super workouts, or both! #Bettertogether mentally, physically, personally, socially. Join our Superpeople tribe, #changealife #allforone.

Testimonials:

"Training with team ruby was always about merging two worlds into one: laughs and sweat, knowing your limits and how to surpass them...(safely), and above all the companionship and the achievements . All this, to create super people able to face any challenges !"

"I had never ran before or had coaching, I have a very busy life and I was juggling more than one thing but skipping training was not an option, it is a space to release all stress and recharge mentally, emotionally and physically. I joined the team with my best friend and we were both skeptical at first. The first run was not easy as we were both beginners and first-time runners. But it started to get better by the second run and one run after another. When seeing the results we were getting, we started to really like it. From pain to pleasure! The post-run rush we feel is one of a kind. And now we run because we love it! "

Danielle Azar

"First time runner. Getting places and going far, way beyond what I thought possible. I discovered new strengths and abilities and a willingness to take on new challenges with #teamruby. Persistence with a smile is my magic formula."

Jinane Chehade

"اشياء علّمني إياها الركض في شهر لم تعلّمني إياها الحياة في سنوات: -جسدك قادر على إبهارك، كل ما عليك فعله هو ترويض عقلك فطريقة تفكيرك هي العائق الوحيد أمامك، عندما تقنع عقلك بأنك تستطيع، سيستجيب كل عضو من أعضاء جسدك -أن تصل متأخرا خير من أن لا تصل أبدا، سيعلمك الركض أنه لا قيمة للمراكز، وصولك أولاً أو آخراً يعني أنك قد أنجزت المهمة -المسار الذي تسلكه في الركض، شبيه جدا بمسيرة حياتك، قد تواجه أثناء الركض بعد الصعوبات في التنفس، قد لا تستجيب قدماك بالشكل المطلوب، قد تشعر بالتعب الشديد، الحر الشديد او قد تجد نفسك فجأة داخل عاصفة، فتدرك بأنك تواجه عدة عوامل للوصول إلى هدفك، و فجأة من حيث لا تعلم تجتاحك قوة داخلية تعيدك إلى المسار كلما خرجت عنه و تقول لك “ إياك و الاستسلام، تسطيع و ستفعل“"

Suzanne Jaber

"Much more than participating to a race it's a life changing experience, a circle of happiness, support and super people."

Mirna Osseiran

"I have recently joined wellbeing #teamruby and it’s one of the best decisions I have ever made! Such a motivated team that includes beginners and advanced runners. Nobody is left out! The organizers make sure that all runners are enjoying their time regardless of their fitness level. I enjoyed the run so much! Definitely gonna keep coming every Thursday and I’m also bringing my mother with me."

Lynn Karam

Kareem Nasser

"Yesterday was my first time joining #teamruby and definitely WON’T be the last. The team was nice , we had fun while running, always motivating new beginners and helping them to achieve the whole run. The stretching part was so much fun and useful. Keep it up 🌈"
