SoulJour Session (PC @IAmSoulJour)

Suzanne partners with leaders to quickly translate latent natural gifts into visible talents to accelerate individual and teams’ growth. She simultaneously coaches, teaches, and provides rigorous advisement - a rare combination in consulting services that converts clients into raving fans. She guides teams toward their greatest potential with a principled approach rooted in integrity and partnership.

Whether in a multi-month program, team off-site, or weekly stand-up, Suzanne weaves expertise in facilitation, design thinking, and engagement. 

Suzanne has contributed to the success of local entrepreneurial teams of two to multinational retailers to global philanthropies (see below). She has lived and worked in the easternmost point of Australia, the foothills of the Himalayas, and the Coastal Range of Canada. She currently gardens, down-dogs, bikes, and hikes in Portland OR with her husband, daughter, and furry companion, Mango. She is a yoga teacher training drop-out.

But don’t take my word for it . . .

“Suzanne graces her work with a rare combination of deep design, systems understanding, and organizational skills. She develops and conducts transformative experiences through careful process, creativity, and engagement. Her ability to transform vision into the tactical realities of lived experience is extraordinary.

- Rachel Maxwell, Stewardship for Us

“ . . . super creative and solutions-oriented thought partner, all the goddamn time”

— Sam Foulger, Zapproved

“To watch her actively in facilitation--keeping to a schedule while simultaneously holding space for the emergent, reading in-the-moment spirit of the group while honoring needs of individuals--is a thing of beauty and evinces a subtle but definite mastery of group dynamics.

- Hilary Wilson, Philanthropic Fundraiser and Event Wrangler

“. . . amazing partner - joy, wonder, smarts”
