Coaching for High Performance

A Clear Read on Leadership

With a foundation in education and more than 15 years of senior leadership experience, Suzie has a clear talent for helping people access meaningful, lasting change. She brings equal parts insight, strategy, humanity to every client-led coaching engagement.

Across her career—as a General Manager, senior leader, and lifelong champion of learning and development—Suzie has worked in the UK, Canada, and across sectors that include education, non-profit, and global service. This breadth gives her a uniquely rounded vantage point: she understands how people think, how organizations move, and where the two meet to create genuine progress.

A licensed Motivational Map® practitioner and executive coach, Suzie begins each partnership with a Motivational Map® assessment. Through thoughtful interpretation and candid conversation, she helps clients understand what truly drives them.

Originally from Scotland, Suzie moved to Vancouver Island seven years ago and now proudly calls Canada home. Beyond her work, she’s a mum, a wife, and a dedicated dog-parent to two lively cockapoos. When she’s not coaching leaders, she’s exploring the outdoors with her family, experimenting in the kitchen, or tucked into a favourite corner with a good book—ideally with a dog (or two) vying for space.
