Signature keynote

No Map, No Problem!

Lead with confidence in times of complex change

Thirty to ninety minutes, on stage or online, tailored to the event theme, audience and sector

When everything around leaders keeps shifting, good judgement gets harder to hold. Susanne shows leaders why pressure takes their questions before it takes their values, and how to keep making sound calls while the ground keeps moving. The keynote is built on her Centring Star™ framework and told through her own stories, and the audience does more than listen.

Your audience will leave able to

  • recognise when pressure is taking the questions that protect the outcome
  • see the wider picture a decision sits in, not only the problem in front of them
  • tell the difference between a decision that feels right and one that stands up later
  • choose the next move with more steadiness and intent

Ideal for: Leaders, executive teams and boards in organisations affected by heavy regulation, complex funding and public accountability.

Behind the keynote

Susanne headed the reform transition office for a $10 billion restructure affecting 80,000 staff, and was lead negotiator on an employment agreement with billion-dollar implications.

She is the author of Centred: How to Lead with Confidence in Times of Complex Change, and speaks nationally and internationally, in person and online.
