“We can achieve more than we imagine is possible – but often the only person stopping you… is you”.

Stepping out of your comfort zone

Are you a leader in business who faces unrelenting pressure to deliver results in a world that is constantly changing?

Do you need time to think and adapt your approach, which means stepping out of your comfort zone and going into the unknown?

As a coach, Sue creates the space for you to reflect, think and experiment with different behaviours, so you can be more effective, inspire others, and be a better leader.

In other words, transform your leadership.

In 1996 Sue Stockdale became the first British woman to reach the Magnetic North Pole – something she never imagined was possible. Afterwards Sue realised there had been a bigger reason for her success, and it became her life’s purpose to inspire others to step out their comfort zone and explore their potential.

Watch Sue’s TED talk to find out more.

EXPLORE: A Life of Adventure is a compelling memoir that explains why stepping out your comfort zone is key to living a fulfilling life.

Sue Stockdale recounts the story of her adventures from challenging beginnings to exploring some of the world’s most extreme environments including the North Pole, Antarctica and Greenland.

“A captivating and inspiring memoir”

Testimonials

Sue's coaching helped me to transition from a hands-on Manager to a Senior Executive. She supported me in finding my own answers to different challenges I was facing, building my professional confidence, widening my perspective and teaching me how to create positive ripple effects. Having coaching sessions with Sue was a turning point in my career; I highly recommend her.

Shoko Doherty, Celtic English academyCEO

We have received great feedback, especially from the more remote sites who rarely have the opportunity to hear international speakers, about how exciting it was for them to participate in an event with such a high-quality speaker, via technology. Your advice was very tangible and certainly resonated with the audience.

Sarah Lang, Infrastructure New ZealandProject Director

"Risk: All that Matters is an insightful and comprehensive guide that explores and explains the many concepts that influence our choices and decision-making. The book illustrates many interesting parallels that we can resonate with normal life. Once started, very difficult to put down and the "100 ideas" at the end provides a really enjoyable sting in the tail."

Andy Halliday, England / Great Britain Men’s HockeyTeam Manager

Sue was a top notch podcast host - organized, communicative, puts her guests at ease, and well-prepared with great questions! We had a great time on the podcast and would recommend to anyone.

Sue is so much more than a wonderful coach supervisor …. she is a great coach, leader and inspiration, I have recommended her to all I know and will continue to do so! In working with Sue, you are getting quality (bundles of it), grounded knowledge, experience and wisdom, clarity of thought, integrity and honesty - who wouldn’t want to work with that? Her approach is non-judgemental, professional, enthusiastic and with an incredibly calm energy.
