Suzi McAlpine understands leadership. She is a leader herself; thinks and writes about leadership; works with and alongside other leaders every day. Suzi offers specific, practical and inspiring advice based on her own experiences and her deep working knowledge of what leaders in this country and beyond are facing.
After a highly successful career working for OCG Consulting and Futurestep, a division of Korn Ferry, Suzi established her own business to help others master everything they will need to be, and remain, a world-class leader. Her thesis: that we all have a lot to learn, and be proud of, from leading in New Zealand.
In her presentations, Suzi shares how leaders can best synthesise global learnings and trends with specific market insights to lead in distinctive and effective ways. “Learning down” from macro insights, and “learning up” from what it takes to succeed in a country like New Zealand, Suzi focuses on helping leaders acquire, amplify and apply the skills they need at each stage of their leadership career.

Topics
Leadership is not one thing. New thinking and approaches are emerging all the time that can inform your wider leadership approach. At a personal level, different leaders have different challenges and different priorities, depending on what they are tasked with and their own levels of leadership experience. Suzi’s background means she can tailor a presentation to directly address specific concerns, priorities and opportunities.
Beyond Burnout
Based on key learnings from her book Beyond Burnout, this presentation deals frankly and positively with the issue of burnout and how to address it. This talk shows leaders and organisations how to spot the signs of burnout, how to address it when it’s present and perhaps most importantly, how we can reduce it in our workplaces.
A powerful and personal address for organisations committed to protecting the wellbeing of their people.

Feedback and Coaching
The art of giving receiving and seeking feedback – and coaching – are superpowers in leadership. The benefits to not only teams, but also leaders, are well documented. And so the best leaders are purposeful in improving their skills in both feedback and coaching. This interactive webinar or in person speaking engagement looks at what they are, why they are important and how to improve your skills in both. Note: this presentation can be on either feedback, or coaching, or both.

Testimonials
Leaders share their experiences
“The theme for our recent Aspire conference was Leadership and when we were putting the programme together the first person who sprang to mind was Suzi. To have her as our opening keynote speaker was perfect, she set the tone brilliantly and presented many useful insights. Most importantly she delivered key messages with entertaining anecdotes making the presentation all the more memorable for our audience.”
“People find Suzi’s webinars really, really engaging. She’s ‘real’ when she presents, she’s herself. Suzi uses real life stories about herself and her experience to add to the topic. So the models she refers to and what she talks about makes sense. The models she provides are fool proof effective strategies that are easy to implement.”
