Coach | Facilitator
Suzanne is an experienced People & Culture leader, passionate about transforming teams, organisations and cultures through sustainable and fit for purpose programmes. With a background spanning learning, organisational development and generalist HR, she is a naturally curious facilitator and change leader who looks for alternative and creative solutions to modern workplace challenges.
Background
I have 20 years’ experience designing, developing and delivering coaching and bespoke learning programmes in commercial and public sectors across UK, New Zealand & Australia.
My experience and skills are underpinned by my Masters in HR Management and Development, Diploma in Coaching and Mentoring, Certificate in Training Practice and Post Grad Certificate in Management. I am an accredited practitioner for EQ-i and EQ 360, HBDI, and Success Insights-DISC, and I have undertaken professional development in the areas of NLP and Emotional Intelligence.
My why
I absolutely love what I do. I am passionate about unearthing the talents that lie beneath every individual, leader and organisation. Enabling people and businesses to realise their ambitions and feel engaged in doing so brings me joy. No one should have to go to work and feel miserable.
How I work
I am more ambitious for my clients than they are for themselves. I see no limits. I am curious and tenacious. I ensure whatever I do is tailored to suit the context, environment, audience, and desired results. I invest time getting to know the organisations and people I work with, I build meaningful connections at all levels, I collaborate with stakeholders and help them create legacies.
What I do
I design and deliver programmes that are sustainable and pragmatic, giving participants practical tools they can apply in their world. I facilitate across personal and leadership development, as a subject matter expert sharing my knowledge, and as a change leader drawing out the knowledge in the room.
I coach and mentor at all levels, I have a particular interest in developing emerging talent embarking on their career, as well as those who are at a crossroads in their career, life or leadership journey.
What I love
I love balance! High energy netball and meditative yoga. Walks on the beach and runs through the forest. Noisy social time and quiet time with the ones I love most.
