MY STORY

From Building Brands to Building People

Over almost three decades in corporate and, later, business consulting, developing and mentoring people became one of my greatest passions. Witnessing individuals flourish was incredibly rewarding, and I noticed a clear pattern: they excelled when utilizing their natural talents and strengths. While addressing weaknesses could lead to improvement, those areas often remained comparatively weak.

The Gallup CliftonStrengths approach to personal development resonated deeply with me as a facilitator for businesses and teams. It also had a profound impact on my own children. After receiving coaching, their newfound self-awareness was transformative. This understanding empowered their career choices and helped them navigate the challenges young people face in relationships and other areas.

My coaching philosophy is strongly driven by my own CliftonStrengths profile. It centres around celebrating each person’s unique talents and using them as the foundation for their growth. I have a keen eye for recognizing potential and a deep understanding of the challenges people face. This allows me to create inclusive environments where anyone and everyone feels welcome to participate. By drawing on my strengths in identifying themes and spotting opportunities, I help people discover their own unique approach to achieving their goals. I work together with them to eliminate distractions and focus on what truly matters, igniting their enthusiasm and propelling them toward success.

Education has always held a particular interest for me. I’ve volunteered in various advisory and governance roles at South African schools. Therefore, a significant portion of my coaching time is dedicated to working with educational leaders. My goal is to facilitate improved teamwork within management teams and empower individual educators to leverage their strengths for career fulfillment and success.

Sue’s dream is to collaborate with like-minded individuals and Non-Profit Organisations to bring the power of CliftonStrengths to those who might not usually have access to it. She particularly wants to extend her work with leaders in education, school-leavers and young adults, and entrepreneurs. She believes that these groups would all gain an exponential benefit from understanding their talents, developing these into strengths, and applying them to achieve success.
