Meet Sue Scott: Your guide to authentic leadership success

During my time in the corporate trenches, I discovered how to be myself as a leader, navigate complexity, connect the dots, and help people be more productive at work.

The turning point came when I left the corporate world and reinvented myself to do stuff that feels meaningful.

Now, I leverage my extensive leadership and risk management knowledge, along with personal insights, to empower financial services professionals, motivating them to reach their full potential.

If you’re a Leader in Financial Services and want to bring your authentic self to every challenge and opportunity in the workplace and grow as a leader, let’s chat.

How Sue works – the secret behind every client success story

I understand you and your context

I've walked in your shoes — juggling responsibilities, pressured to know it all, and driven to inspire my team toward impactful success. These challenges deepened my understanding and sculpted my coaching style. True leadership begins the moment you trust yourself enough to let go and inspire others.

I navigate complexity to join the dots

Navigating the maze of leadership challenges whilst delivering results can seem like a journey without a map. I’ll help you break down overwhelming complexity into actionable steps. We connect the dots with each step, charting a clear and deliberate path for you and your team.

I share what works

Authenticity is at the core of effective leadership – no substitutes accepted.
I draw on the mighty trio of vulnerability, a staunch belief in others, and the reflective power that sparks transformation. This isn’t just about leadership techniques; it’s about being a leader and fostering trust.

The most important part of our coaching was the relationship I built with Sue. She listened, understood, gave me space and then supported me in turning a low point into an opportunity. I felt inspired by the end of the sessions and felt I had the true value of a trusted coach.
