All The Way Alive Susan Sutherland

My guest this week is my friend, client and now collaborator, Juliet Clothier, who listeners may remember from Episode 3! Juliet is in transition from an ‘in house’ CFO role back to her role as a leadership consultant and executive coach, including fractional and interim CFO services. In this short episode, we are introducing our new collaborative venture, Secrets of the C-Suite. For me, this venture has highlighted an insight about my own working style: I’ve discovered that I come all the wa...

My guest this week is Sarae Pratt, a vibrant leadership coach for female-identified leaders. I met Sarae recently as a fellow participant in a coaching program, and I enjoyed a recent brainstorming session so much I wanted her to join me on the podcast. Sarea’s background is fascinating to me: she trained as an aeronautical engineer at university with a side of German! Her experiences of being one of the few women in a room, as well as her experience with burnout (twice), led her to imag...

As she relays her professional and life experiences, and...

My guest this week is Philippa Robinson, who I met not too long ago as a fellow participant in a coaching program. She's a high energy, deeply thoughtful and all around lovely person to chat to, and I had such fun with her. I asked her to share her "origin story," which she generously did, as she and her story are inspiration for any of us trying to feel at home in our lives, and for the kind of personal work that truly results in freedom. Philippa is a part-time compliance officer for a law ...

In this short solo episode I share some 'behind the scenes' insights into a shift I've been making in my coaching business. I share my perspective, thoughts and feelings as I re-brand (sort-of) to better reflect my experience, skills and interests as coach. A few things I mention:My group coaching program/ mastermind "Meant for More" which will launch later this year. You can get on the waitlist to learn more HERE. The tranformative training and certification I received from Sas Pet...
