And that’s just some of the recognition received for this inspiring New Zealander’s dynamic approach to life and business.
As the General Manager of a major New Zealand agribusiness Sue challenged conventional industry and business wisdom and transformed a traditional rural service company into a dynamic, customer experience driven organisation that is still recognised as being world class.
In that role she is directly credited with master-minding strategies and leading a team that more than doubled the revenues of that Top 200 New Zealand company.
And that is just the beginning of her inspiring story … since leaving her corporate life behind almost 4 years ago; Sue has pursued her passion for inspiring greatness in the world, one person and one organisation at a time. She is a highly sought after speaker, transformation coach and consultant working with individuals, groups and organisations throughout New Zealand and internationally. Sue’s clients include many of New Zealand’s largest companies including The Bank of New Zealand where she serves as a member of the Farm First Business Growth Programme Faculty, and entrepreneurs and business leaders.
Sue’s inspirational approach to business and leadership was further recognised in 2006 when she was chosen by Dr Lance Secretan to join a small global team to collaborate with him on his book ONE The Art and Practice of Conscious Leadership and a global leadership project by the same name. Dr Secretan is recognised as one of the world’s leading business philosophers and consultant to Fortune 500 companies and leaders and the former global CEO of Manpower the recruitment company.
Sue only speaks on topics and undertakes projects that are close to her heart and sharing proven pathways to personal mastery, inspirational leadership and building great businesses and brands is what she loves to do and it shows.

This has given Sue a unique window into the heart and mind of New Zealand business and the challenges facing business leaders and their teams.
