What people are saying…
“What I love most about Suzie is her focused execution. She is a shining example of getting clear on her goal, focusing one foot in front of the other and prioritising what matters. She walks her talk in her message of adaptive stability. Her skills are so critical for the complex landscape leaders find themselves in today.”

“Suzie’s empathetic and supportive training ensured that her messages got through – and were understood and accepted. And more importantly, her messages continued to resonate into my out-of-workshop life, and have been implemented and had the positive outcomes sought. And continue to do so. As a result, I strongly recommend attending Suzie’s workshops, and working with her adaptive stability model, as that can markedly strengthen your own personal resilience and capacity to overcome what, otherwise, would be setbacks.”

“Th[e workshop] was an engaging and inspiring session. Suzie included an excellent quality slide deck, practical exercises, logical discussion points, relevant exercises and succinct and supportive feedback. The safe environment generated fascinating insights from all participants. Highly recommend!”

“I was impressed at the level of detail Suzie thoughtfully presented in an easy to understand way. The ‘Pivot When Needed’ exercise was so interesting and beneficial. Suzie understands the real world challenges facing business owners and has the ability to make you see yourself in a new light.”

“Suzie was a very attentive host. She was very emotionally engaged all the time, and made me comfortable and willing to share about myself, as well as try challenging and even embarrassing tasks. The fact that she stayed present throughout the entire 4 hours, for each of the sessions, inspired a lot of trust and admiration in me towards her.”

"Suzie was one of my first managers when I was starting my career in State Government where she set a high standard, showing what empathetic and pragmatic leadership truly looks like. I had the pleasure of attending one of her workshops earlier this year on adaptive leadership. It soon became clear that she has distilled her unique leadership style into a practical guide for others - one that speaks to the reality of balancing multiple projects, complex priorities, emotions, people and expectations. If you want to lead with impact, empathy and confidence, working with Suzie is a great place to start."

“I was incredibly fortunate to have had Suzie as a manager and leader early in my legal and governance career. She sets the benchmark for what thoughtful and effective leadership looks like. Her strategic mindset and genuine support helped shape how I lead teams, navigate complexity and triage priorities. Recently, I had the privilege of attending Suzie’s masterclass, Confidence Under Pressure: Mastering Resilience, where she introduced her model of adaptive stability. This framework has been instrumental in helping me navigate competing deadlines, manage shifting priorities, and lead with empathy in high-pressure environments. If you ever have the opportunity to attend one of her sessions, I highly recommend it. Her insights and practical tools are invaluable for anyone looking to grow as a resilient, thoughtful and grounded leader.”
