Sue Mitchell

"Once again, thank you so much for your talk this morning. The team really liked it, you might have seen some of the feedback in the chat before you left. And after the break, we had a great discussion on which of your messages have resonated most with everybody and how we can apply it. The sailing analogy really stuck with everybody and we kept using it when speaking about our own examples. PEP, as well as, wearing other people’s glasses, using the right words to control the narrative were just a few that were mentioned multiple times. Also to pause and take the time to reflect before we take actions, resonated a lot. People also mentioned your passion and charisma that you expressed whilst giving the speech. It was easy to follow and very rich in content. Thanks also for the results of the interactive polls – indeed very helpful. In summary, the talk has been a success and you delivered completely on the briefing. It has been a pleasure in partnering with you."

"Sue has an engaging style of communication, with such natural ease of delivery that the audience feels included and interested in the topics being discussed. Her content always balances theory with practical applications of what is being proposed, providing many examples from her own experience which add authenticity to her presentations."

"I have been fortunate enough to attend Sue’s workshops numerous time now and I always find her mix of theory and personal application to be completely relatable and relevant to the challenges I face. Her inclusive approach makes sessions very interactive and easy to consider key points in light of your own individual circumstances. I was struggling to formulate my 12 month career plan without getting a knot of fear in my stomach but after just one session with Sue I was able to change my perception and I now have a very solid plan. I thoroughly recommend connecting with Sue for help with any mindset, personal or career barriers, the results you get are great."

"I recently heard Sue speak at a Professional Speaking Association event. Her material was well structured, interesting and highly relevant for women in business. Sue has a natural warmth, positive energy and engaging delivery style and this particular talk would be very valuable for women in leadership positions."

"Sue has worked with The University of Stirling for over two years now and continues to provide an excellent, personal and professionally knowledgeable service. Sue connects and builds relationships with all levels of the staff community and consistently gets great feedback. I would highly recommend Sue, her service is reliable, conscientious with current research/thinking – we value our relationship with Sue and look forward to working with her into the future."

"Sue delivered an excellent workshop for WiM Scotland earlier this year, as part of our Career and Life Management programme.. She is an excellent facilitator who connected well with the audience and demonstrated her thorough knowledge of the topic. We had very positive feedback from the event and wouldn’t hesitate to use her services for other workshops. Thanks Sue for a great evening!"

"Just to say thank you for the coaching session and you have worked some magic once again, thank you so much."

"Sue very kindly gave a talk for JCI Edinburgh earlier this year. She gave a fascinating insight into mental toughness. She covered ways in which you can identify your own strengths in this area and how to build on them. Sue is not only extremely knowledgeable in this subject but also enthusiastic to share the benefits with others."

"Engaging and inclusive, Sue has a great way of delivering her content and then making sure it has been absorbed by asking different members of the audience to participate. Sue doesn’t just speak for 8 hours and that’s it! Well-structured and with a good narrative thread. Her inclusion of personal stories helps embed key points. She has an informal style which allows participants to feel relaxed but she is also direct and concise with regards to the points she is making, which are also well backed up with relevant theory and research. – Clearly an experienced, well-practised speaker who is comfortable presenting to large groups, her approach is flexible enough to respond to the different personality types and needs displayed by any group."

"Sue is a fantastic speaker! She spoke at an event I organised around equal gender representation on public boards in May 2018 focusing on ‘Mindset for Resilience and Mental Wellbeing’. She was really engaging and her presentation was very well received by our delegates. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Sue, both in the run up to the event and on the day, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an enthusiastic, passionate and knowledgeable speaker for conferences and events!"

"Where to start – first thing, see new title below!! I have been promoted and given a pay rise which was entirely down to you giving me the confidence and the tools to raise the issue. You also helped me recognise where boundaries were being crossed and not respected and to stand up for what is important to me. You were very impressive and I always came away feeling motivated – you were very natural to talk to and it really boosted my confidence and morale."

"I have been reflecting on our conversation and really found it useful, particularly the elements around transitioning from operational management to leadership. This is already proving of use!"

"Excellent event and speaker! I liked the balance of interactive tasks and group activities, learning about the 4Cs and how to put these in practice. I’ve learned a different approach to try out dealing with organisational change and a staff member who is difficult to manage."

"The informal discussion and that the speaker shared her past experience. Noticing the positives and keeping a journal of 3 achievements each day. Time for reflection. The delivery, content and general approach were excellent! This helped me bring together my thoughts and refocus and shape an implementation plan for a challenge I am looking forward to. An excellent event! I liked that it was interactive and allowed you to draw on your own experiences Appreciating my achievements and not taking everything I do for granted. Pay attention to thought processes – be aware of and reduce or eliminate negative self talk. Change negative thinking. That Sue included the research to back up why motivation is so important. Sue helped to bring the whole way motivation works to life and helped me to understand more about my own motivators."

"Sue is an excellent speaker and very engaging. She presented at one of our WIBF events with the focus on “Don’t let the past hold you back”. It was well received by the audience. Brilliant session. Thanks Sue!"

"Thanks Sue for the insightful talk about leadership to drive change etc. As a sailor I liked the comparison of crossing the sea"

"We just wanted to say a big thank you for a brilliant event yesterday. It has been a pleasure to meet and partner with you on such a powerful topic. A big thank-you again for hosting a great event – we’ve had really positive feedback"

"Thank you so much for taking time to share your insights with our leaders at Global Leadership Meeting. So many people came to us and said how great your speech was. Many said ‘this is exactly our situation’."

"I found your talk exactly suiting our needs at HZI during this period of huge growth. Look forward to working with you further"
