It’s been a wonderful journey being coached by you, Suzi. I have found that over the year, your insights and observations have helped lead me to a greater understanding of not just my abilities, but equally my derailers. I realise now that being a leader is a lifelong experience and reflection is always invaluable.

There is no doubt the last two years have taken a toll on everyone, but particularly on those in leadership and more so upon inclusive leaders like you, who truly care about those around them. I cannot thank you enough for all you have done over the past 10 years.
Dr Terry Fitzsimmons PhD MBA(Adv) BEc CA - Associate Professor in Leadership University of Queensland Business School
Suzi, I would like to thank you immensely for your time and support. In all honestly, I was totally unprepared for both the coaching sessions that we’ve had so far. I had no idea what I wanted to talk about. The only thing I knew was that I would remain absolutely honest at all times, and be open to exploring any doorways that our discussions may create. And I was pleasantly surprised with how beautifully you led into conversations that were extremely meaningful, insightful and helpful to me. You helped me introspect my thoughts, feelings and emotions in such a non-judgemental manner, it was so easy to open up and talk with you! Our sessions brought great clarity to my thoughts, and helped me identify the steps that I now need to take so I can achieve my goals. Thank you once again for your kind support – you are an excellent coach!”

This helped create an agenda that effectively addressed the diverse interests within our group. The atmosphere she fostered allowed everyone to feel heard and engaged, making the day both productive and enjoyable.
