Sue qualified in voice studies in 1993, has a certificate in drama therapy, is a qualified NLP practitioner, graduated in Movement Psychology with its founder Yat Malmgren, studied organisational behaviour and leadership at the Tavistock and Portman Foundation, and has followed a mindfulness practise daily since 2002.
Originally Sue qualified in music and theatre, worked for many years as an actor singer/songwriter and has a run of classical theatre roles under her belt and a 1983 hit single to her name. Since qualifying as a voice coach 30 years ago, she switched to the other side of the stage, using her performance expertise to support others in finding their own unique way to step up, speak out, and be heard.
She began in the media working with professional actors while also running the voice department and contributing to the development and establishment of an Acting BA and MA at University of East London. The last 25 years however, have seen her predominantly involved in executive and academic education, encouraging people to bring expression of what they deeply believe into what they do, and feed integrity into their creative innovation.
Amongst her clients are Reuters, the BBC, Imperial College, London Business School, PRS, Oxford University, RADA, British Airways, The Kings Fund, Google, Fierce Grace, Leicester University, London School of Economics and many 1-1 coaching and mentoring clients. You can read some of Sue’s ideas about the power of voice in her contributions to “Effective Presentation” published by Orion, and “Turning Point Moments” published by Capucia.
Known for her friendly, informal yet thorough approach Sue believes that to be productively effective as a speaker you need to be genuine, "you but more you" or, as Oscar Wilde whom she is fond of quoting said; “Be yourself, everybody else is already taken”.
She has repeatedly witnessed that when people connect and converse from a place of authenticity, our human voice can be key to finding creative and hopeful stories of resilience beyond our expectations. Her passion is enabling people to surprise themselves with the power of the voice they already have.
Connect. Converse. Create.
