She shares the tools she has tried and tested in the laboratory of her own body and life.
The Adrenaline Serotonin Seesaw
People need some stress in their lives, but too much is disabling and harmful. With too much unmanaged stress, engagement goes down, presenteeism goes up, productivity is reduced and eventually absenteeism goes up too. People need to know how to stay away from dis-stress and keep themselves feeling good through deliberate and effective self-care – and living so they have enough “feel good hormones” pumping. That’s why they need this talk. It draws on stories and experiences to get its point across. It’s highly interactive and is built to shift beliefs, change behaviour and create lasting change and enhanced engagement with super-performance.
The outcome: managed stress that motivates, and doesn’t cause distress, positivity, can-do attitude, resilient engaged staff.

Poised on a Precipice – Dealing with Disruption and Change
Confronting change and facing uncertainty are integral to life today. A life-changing accident that Sue experienced, when she fell from the top of a high mountain, requiring airlifting and an 8-hour rescue operation, drove home the insight that change is inherent in everyone’s life, and uncertainty is something people must get used to feeling. The tools that got Sue through this accident and back to health are the same tools she had been talking and writing about for years, but now she has personally put them to the test, and they work!
This riveting talk is useful for anyone who has “fallen off their own cliff face” in their life and found themselves at ground zero and needing to dust off their knees, rebuild and reboot. The outcome: resilience, adaptability and positivity.
Say “No” to Enable your “Yes!”
This experiential talk shows how life is a precious adventure, people need to be open to whatever comes their way. But sometimes to be able to enjoy what life is offering, people need to get better at saying “no” when they need to. People need to be able to subtract and not just add to their lives. This requires active choice making and deliberate focus, avoiding “shiny new object syndrome.”
Being free to take your foot off the break at the right time and slam it back on when you need to, are essential life skills. Few people have this mastered. This talk will change the way people think about “yes, no and maybe,” forever. Empower your staff to find work-life balance and feel resilient and energized, by booking this keynote which can also be done as a half day workshop.
Your Choices Today Inform your Biology Tomorrow
No one knows exactly what the world will look like tomorrow. It’s daunting to have so little predictability to rely on. You can only control what is within your control, and you must endeavour to let go of all that’s not in your control. The one thing that is totally within your control AND predictable is the choices you make about your wellbeing. To thrive tomorrow, you need to be feeling vibrant and alive, have energy and vitality and have clear focus and brilliant creativity. What you do today is determining whether you have wellbeing and sustainable energy to rely on as resources, tomorrow.
What IS known about tomorrow, is it’s being created today. This talk will inspire listeners to make the choices, they are making today, wisely and with conscious awareness.
There are 11 domains to wellbeing and all of them are inextricably linked. If even one of these domains is not flourishing the whole house of cards comes tumbling down. Listening to this eye-opening talk will enable listeners to focus on the blind spots they may have and on the areas that are less in their awareness, so the house of cards can be stable and reliable for them to lean on.
When people are pulsing with energy, they inspire everyone they engage with to pulse along with them.
