Suzy Stollery

Welcome. I'm here as your coach, consultant and mentor.

Executive and Leadership Coaching

I challenge, encourage and support.

Though already highly skilled and experienced, you may be stuck or feel there's something missing in reaching your, or your teams', full potential.

You may be in a new role or striving for a change. Perhaps, you're a CEO seeking an open dialogue or a founder scaling your business.

Together we identify the right approach for you to become more effective. I support you to navigate your path forward with greater clarity and a stronger conviction.

I work with:

  • CEOs – new and established
  • Founders
  • C-suite teams who set the direction and oversee operations
  • Up-and-coming leadership talent
  • HR leaders

With you. Beside you.

Culture Consultancy and HR Mentoring

Growth, action and impact.

Culture is either an externally facing asset or a liability. More than small gestures, or simply a measure of how your people feel about working with you, when cultivated with care, culture is an extremely potent competitive advantage.

I help CEOs and HR Leaders develop the interplay between strategy and culture. Whether seeking specific interventions, ongoing mentoring or sweeping cultural change, I immerse myself to offer a fresh perspective for meaningful progress and sustainable impact.

I work with:

  • SMEs – new and established
  • Start-ups and scale-ups
  • Newly acquired businesses in large organisations
  • Regions and markets in large organisations
  • Non-profits and charities

Outside in. Inside out.

What clients say

Will

Chief Executive Officer - Ecosurety

“ Suzy helped me settle into a new CEO role in a new company and in a new industry. I found her thoughtful approach very helpful in getting to the core of issues and defining specific next steps. I would recommend Suzy to anyone looking for a caring, intelligent and insightful coach.”

Anna

Strategy Director - Bray Leino

“ Working with Suzy was a game-changer for me. I appreciated her professional yet down to earth style. Our coaching sessions were always purposeful and, very skilfully, she helped guide me to my own conclusions, with a clarity that I just couldn't create on my own.”

Will

Chief Operating Officer - Ella's Kitchen

“ Suzy creates an environment that is not just safe, but easy to express how I feel. I can now use emotions and feelings as information on what to do next, and I have a far greater awareness, understanding, and choice of how I want to be as a leader. It's been a brilliant experience all round.”

Anne-Cecile

Commercial Strategy Director - Universal Pictures International

“ Suzy is a natural coach! She created a safe environment and a space I could openly express myself. Her ability to listen and connect enabled me to see the paths and choices available to me and it truly amazed me. The pace and depth of each session were perfectly balanced too. I highly recommend Suzy.”

Seb

Co-Founder - Pukka Herbs

“ High emotional awareness coupled with practical professional clarity creates instant trust and respect. Having a particular skill at developing leadership talent, she successfully helped our directors grow with the pace of the business, as well as create an impactful team spirit, in the face of relentless change.”

Kim

Commercial Director - Ella's Kitchen

“ Suzy is a highly professional and warm coach who creates an open environment to explore vulnerabilities, thoughts, emotions and ideas which helped me navigate ways forward. I have benefited heavily from her thoughtful and astute questioning which created very positive changes in me personally and within my role.”

Bruno

EMEA Senior Counsel - BASF

“ I had the chance to work with Suzy when I was at a crossroads in my career and had recently taken a new role. I feel I have grown significantly and there is no doubt in my mind that Suzy, in the way she was engaged in our coaching sessions, has played a significant role in that growth. She just has this talent to bring out the best in people.”

Ann

Director of Finance - NHS Trust

“ Working with Suzy helped me evaluate the way I work and think about different ways to respond to problems which I'd previously struggled to solve. She also helped me to identify ways I could strengthen relationships with people with different styles of working to myself whilst developing different ways of thinking and operating.”

Camilla

Co-Founder - Women's Work Lab

“ Suzy's leadership coaching has been a transformational experience for both of us. She's helped us create an exceptionally strong foundation within our Co-Founder partnership — guiding us to see where our individual strengths lie, whilst also recognising how we complement one another. We feel that the work we've done will help us to weather any inevitable future storms and grow in a way that sees us both working at our best.”

Kieran

Global Account Director - Aon

“ Suzy worked with me when I was going through a period of real change in my professional life. I had just taken on a new role which was both demanding and high profile. Suzy brought a real wealth of experience, and her style is both calming and reassuring in equal measure. She is an informed, capable coach and very likeable on a personal level. I would have no hesitancy in recommending her.”

James

Former Chair, Pukka Herbs

“ Pukka's culture benefited hugely from Suzy’s Leadership as People Director. Her culture work ensured that the purpose and values that were outwardly expressed were truly present within and without compromise. Finding people with the skill to translate the often ethereal into grounded practice is a rare thing. Suzy has that in abundance, as well a natural sensitivity that enables her to bring people with her in a very thoughtful and considered way.”
