Do you beat yourself up all the time? Is nothing you do ever good enough for you? Could you always be doing more, doing better? Does your inner critic have free reign? Do you sit at the table and see yourself as an imposter? When you are in a minority in an organisation it’s easy to see you’re different. If that minority isn’t represented by leadership, it’s not a huge jump to think you don’t fit. If you are in a part of an organisation that doesn’t have power it’s easy to assume you don’t have a voice. Thoughts matter. Whether you have your sights on a leadership role, are an entrepreneur or want to be the best you. Ideal as short motivational sessions Suzanne helps you to get inside your own head and programme yourself for success. If you wouldn’t talk to your best friend that way – don’t talk to yourself that way!

Self-leadership is about getting your own house in order, setting yourself up for success, finding a sense of purpose, goal setting, eliminating negative thoughts, focus, emotional intelligence, building strong networks, getting heard and influencing. Self-leadership speaker sessions are ideal for corporate events for organisations looking to develop leadership at all levels of the organisations and for events seeking a powerful message of empowerment for their audience enabling women to live the best version of themselves.

Crisis of confidence, negative feedback, lack of support, critical self-talk, a focus on tactical day to day, putting yourself last or not wanting to hog the limelight can cause women to settle for less. Using an evidence based approach to resilience, and anecdotes and examples, Dr Ross brings to life resilience as a set of strategies that will help women to push through, rise up and thrive.
