“To use coaching to enable others to realise their potential – and become the best and most authentic version of themselves.”

Sue has been coaching Executives for over 25 yrs. Her mix of natural empathy, keen psychological understanding and strong business insight enables clients to significantly enhance their leadership ability and successfully navigate challenging business contexts.

She excels in helping leaders and senior teams build capability and confidence – especially when coaching high potential leaders through transition and change – and is equally adept at coaching every stage of the executive career path; from those starting their partner or executive role to those transitioning into NED and portfolio careers.

Sue has a deep understanding of the issues and dilemmas facing CEOs, executive committees and boards. Her in-depth understanding of organisational systems across different sectors and cultures means that she swiftly gets to the crux of behavioral and commercial matters.

Highly regarded as a coach, clients value her insight into how to become board-ready and, just as crucially, how to make a positive impact once appointed. Supportive, warm, pragmatic and insightful, she focuses on helping clients become more self-aware and raise performance so that they can make a tangible difference in their role.
