Sue’s approach to coaching has had a positive impact to my development and targeted skill areas in Management. By being able to go through key learning areas, using references and resources, I have developed my skill and delivery in management, in particular areas of facilitating the management of a large service area.

Sue’s approach is of an individualised level. Sue has always encouraged me to self-identify areas of conversation and tailoring a dedicated coaching approach to my style and needs. I have loved every minute of engaging in my coaching session with Sue.

I found Sue Anderson's 'Unshakeable' approach to be highly engaging and thought-provoking. Her calm, easy-to-work-with style was complemented by practical, simple-to-implement tips and hacks. She has an amazing ability to turn complex concepts into digestible, easy-to-use tools through the use of stories and examples from her many years of coaching.

Over my lengthy human resources career I have sourced coaches for others and experienced coaching myself.  Working with Sue Anderson, however, has been something of a revelation. I have espoused the value of coaching to others but with Sue, I have experienced the true value of it.  Her approach led me to tangible results in a short space of time and gave me tools and techniques that I can and do practice daily and are now new, good habits. With Sue, I gained a renewed sense of self and confidence in the work that I am doing.

Working with Sue Anderson has been one of the most transformative experiences of my professional life. Her ability to hold space with both compassion and challenge helped me uncover blind spots, shift limiting beliefs, and step into a more grounded, authentic version of leadership. Sue doesn’t offer quick fixes. She guides you toward deep, lasting change. I’ve walked away with greater clarity, confidence, and refined feedback skills that I’ll carry with me throughout my career.

I am really grateful for Sue’s support, she is one of those rare people who make a real difference in people’s lives. Before working with Sue I felt like I was on a fast-moving merry-go-round.  I felt overwhelmed with all the things I wanted to achieve but lacked the energy and motivation to get there.  After working with Sue, I have a renewed focus and energy.  Sue’s warm nature and empathy paired with simple and easy-to-understand language has allowed me to de-code the areas where I get stuck and proactively choose actions and beliefs that give me energy and empower me to be my best across all areas of my life.

Sue’s facilitation style worked so well with our team. She read the room and really gave our people the space they needed to feel confident and comfortable to share what they need and how they felt.

To hear team members saying, more than once, that ‘this is a safe space’ was a great testament to the work that Sue does and how she conducts these sessions.

Thanks Sue

I would highly recommend Sue to anyone seeking to develop their leadership and feedback skills.  Throughout my 1:1 coaching sessions, I learnt so much about myself, my capabilities and in ‘finding my voice’. Sue provided me with a range of easy-to-apply tools that have assisted me with defining my leadership skills both within my team and the broader organisation.   I have gained a renewed sense of purpose and more confidence in my current role and in whatever the future may hold for me.

Recently I have been fortunate to have my employer Colac Otway Shire, invest in my own and my team’s personal development.  Personally, this has been an amazing experience and one that has enlightened me about myself and my learning.  It enabled me to reignite my passion for my growth and my career. I understand my impact on others and have developed the confidence to manage difficult situations and confront my fears. Not only that but I have gained an amazing mentor who is still supporting me to this day. Encouraging me to be my best and to shoot for the stars. Thank you Sue for helping me to shine! You are wonderful!

Participating in the Feedback Fitness session was a transformative experience. The training offered a clear and practical framework for delivering feedback, along with tools that I could immediately apply in my role. It has helped me build stronger trust within my team and foster a culture of open, honest communication. One of the most valuable takeaways was learning about the different types of feedback and how to approach each with confidence and clarity, supported by real-world examples. Since the session, I’ve noticed a positive shift—team members are more comfortable giving and receiving feedback, including to me, which has strengthened our collaboration and performance. I highly recommend this session to any leader looking to enhance their feedback skills and create a more connected and empowered team.

Sue’s ‘Unshakeable’ program is a terrific opportunity to step back and reconsider our ability to be unshakeable. The tools Sue provides through her hacks ensure people walk away with very tangible ways to practice their ability to be unshakeable. Always get fabulous feedback from team members who attend Sue’s sessions. Can’t recommend Sue highly enough.

Sue's role as my coach has transcended into that of an invaluable informal mentor, guiding me through my professional journey in a unique way. Sue's training has been instrumental in my growth, particularly in managing challenging situations. Her emphasis on mindset has profoundly impacted my effectiveness as a leader. These frameworks have made me more prepared and equipped to handle any situation. 

Under Sue's guidance, I've learned how to encourage feedback during our work-in-progress sessions, empowering my team as they advance in their projects and careers. Most importantly, she's helped me find my voice and confidently claim my space within the management and executive group.

Investing in her programs will enhance your skills and significantly improve your team's overall performance and cohesion.
