About Suzanne
I know the bottleneck from the inside
Speaker, author and leadership strategist. Founder of Significant Leaders. I help founders and leaders build success that lasts, and matters.
The short version
In 2013 I was hit by a car while cycling home from work. I spent the next 22 months recovering from undiagnosed post-concussion syndrome: constant fatigue, headaches, anxiety and the inability to hold down consistent work. I rebuilt my body, then I built Wellness Embodied, a multi-award-winning health business in Far North Queensland.
I was named Cairns Businesswoman of the Year in 2023. I was also carrying everyone else's load, and the awards didn't fix that. Changing what I was accountable to did.
Today I help ambitious founders and leadership teams step out of the bottleneck, build teams that perform beyond them, and lead businesses and lives they are proud of. I bring 20 years as a Trinity College Dublin trained physiotherapist, the ENDURES™ Framework, and more than 38 marathons and ultras, including a 270 km solo run from Sydney to Newcastle.
Success is what you build. Significance is what it leaves behind.

President, Rotary E-Club of Empowering Women & Girls
For 2026 to 2027 I'm leading a Rotary club built around one idea: when women and girls are given the tools and the room to lead, whole communities change. Our projects include girls' education in Timor-Leste and the Rise Her leadership program for teenage girls.
In March 2027 we're hosting Her Power, Her Future, a free online summit with one inspiring woman and one powerful conversation every day.
