Sue Stockdale is an accomplished polar adventurer (First British woman to ski to the Magnetic North Pole) and has represented Scotland in athletics. She was runner-up in Channel 4's Superhuman, and undertook some of the toughest tests ever seen on TV.
As a business woman, Sue knows what it takes to run a successful business. She took her company, Mission Possible, from start up to exit and has interviewed some of the UK's leading entrepreneurs in her book Secrets of Successful Women Entrepreneurs.
She has exceptional ability to build rapport with an audience, and encourages people to reflect on beliefs that may be holding them back from achieving exceptional performance. As a result, individuals feel motivated to take action.
Sue's encouragement continues long after the event is over. She provides a unique commitment card for each person to record their action, and personally gives her commitment to follow up with each one a month later. The results speak for themselves - one person commented "you helped me instigate a big change in my life - thank you".
As a facilitator, Sue also orchestrates meetings in such a way that she makes the role appear effortless whilst delivering the required objectives. She has extensive experience of facilitating events of all sizes and varying managerial levels.
As a motivational speaker Sue Stockdale delivers keynotes and workshops using powerful images and thought-provoking messages by drawing analogies between her own experiences and the challenges faced in business.
As a result, people leave with more enthusiasm, energy and commitment to action. She adapts her presentations to incorporate clients' key messages and is always happy to informally chat to employees either before or after her session.
Key Speaking Topics Include:
- Seven steps to achieving success
- Kickstart your Motivation
- Reaching your own North Pole in business
- Harnessing the potential of high achievers in your business
- Authentic leadership
- Thriving in the extreme world of business
- Corporate entrepreneurship
- The rise of women in business - the changing balance of power and wealth
- Creating entrepreneurial communities
- Secrets of Successful Women Entrepreneurs
Sue is a great conference facilitator. I have used Sue twice for the Prowess Annual International Conference, an event of around 300 people taking place over 2 days. She creates a welcoming atmosphere, keeps speakers to time and deals brilliantly with those last-minute changes or hiccups that can sometimes arise. I would highly recommend her.
Sue combines expert knowledge with real life experience in a way that is both engaging and humorous. She made her unique and fascinating stories totally relevant to our audience and to running a business in the current economy. Fresh, inspirational and thought provoking. I can't recommend Sue highly enough!
What a star! Anyone looking for inspiring after dinner speaking which combines insightful interesting content with exciting sparkling delivery should look no further than Sue. I'm very pleased to recommend her to all of my customers.
Sue is by far the best facilitator I've had the pleasure of working alongside. She brings the right level of control without restricting interaction and guides/steers the group in what appears to be an effortless manner. I thoroughly recommend her.
