THE 'HOW' I BECAME A COACH
ABOUT SUZANNE
The question 'what does it mean to be human?' has always been a subject of great fascination to me. Having gained a degree in psychology and anthropology I decided to run away to the theatre. Well not entirely...I learned cross-cultural physical theatre and began my working life as an actor — continuing to work as a voice artist today.
Some of my career highlights include working with high profile artists such as Beyoncé, Madonna and John Legend; being directed by Stephen Daldry in London’s West End and joining the cast of BBC Radios longest running show 'The Archers'. Appearing on the cover of the Radio Times as a Cavewoman was pretty notable but not as exhausting as wrestling gladiators for a play set in a wrestling ring. During this time, I got used to performing in nerve-wracking, high stakes situations, learning strategies to output my best even when I wasn’t feeling it.
Using many of the skills acquired from performance I began working as a teacher with business undergraduates, designing and delivering courses on Public Speaking. This evolved into the corporate sector where I have since worked, facilitating and coaching groups and individuals to acquire the skills necessary to achieve their version of success.

THE 'WHY' I BECAME A COACH
"I believe everyone is creative given the right set of circumstances"
My approach is simple but powerful - heartfelt communication creates heartfelt connection. My mission is to help people better understand themselves. Anchoring my clients' identities enables them to feel more centered and promotes reassurance in those around them.
Through collaborative work, we fine-tune their language and messaging, sharpen listening abilities and make small adjustments that can lead to big results. As confidence increases clients are more capable of pushing themselves into uncharted territory, taking calculated risks and making meaningful contributions. Perhaps as importantly, they become better leaders, partners, parents and friends.
