The moment you step into a bigger role is the moment self-doubt gets loudest. For high achievers in banking and finance, that gap between the leader you’re expected to be and the one you feel you are can quietly drain performance, confidence and career momentum — often without anyone around you knowing.

Suzanne works with leaders to close that gap. Specialising in the hidden patterns of career transitions and the mindsets that derail high performers — particularly Imposter Syndrome — she helps clients move from self-doubt and overcompensation to the kind of grounded authority that others follow willingly.

With two decades of experience across banking and finance, insurance, technology, mining, manufacturing, scientific research and professional services, Suzanne brings hard-won perspective to every coaching relationship. She is considered one of Australia’s leading experts on Imposter Syndrome and its impact on performance, is the author of Liberate Leadership, and holds a management qualification from the Australian Graduate School of Management (AGSM). As the first woman on the Board of George Patterson Advertising, she doesn’t just understand the journey to the top — she’s lived it
