– How Toxicity and negativity can spread throughout the workplace.
– How to identify & deal with being in a psychologically unsafe environment.
– The benefits to communicating effectively on a human level.
– Building courage to deal with difficult conversations.
– Finding Calm with inner turmoil and being comfortable with silence.
– How we can learn and progress by allowing vulnerability & being open to feedback.
– Establishing boundaries and making them visible & tangible.
– Actions that leaders can take to implement a psychologically safe workspace.

For over 20 years, Susan led and managed a wide variety of teams in Europe, Africa, Asia, in-person and remotely. An FD at 33 she learnt that to have an impact required you to be brave, bold and to build strong working relationships. Technical excellence wasn’t enough; putting people first was key.

Susan has a practical, no-nonsense approach to understanding and helping others resolve issues no matter how intractable they might seem. Susan hosts a podcast Life Beyond the Numbers for people who are curious about having a more fulfilling work-life and are united in a belief of putting people first to let their uniqueness shine through in their work-life.
