Welcome to Blossoming Speaker

We Build Confidence and Public Speaking Strategies for Purpose-Driven Leaders and Organisations

For trust, connection, and relatability that moves the needle.

As our economy moves away from the job-based productive automation focus of Industry 4.0, and moves into the purpose or project focus with a humanised view of the usage of technology in industry 5.0, the way we use our public speaking skills needs to shift. This requires us to grow our confidence levels with this change.

Blossoming Speaker's purpose is to help people move through change with confidence using their public speaking skills.

Adapting to change can take a long time or a short while, it all depends, but generally we realised through our client experience and research, one to one programs and 100% tailored programs helps speed up the shift through change, leaving people and organisations with a genuine and practical confidence that delivers results through connection.

This is required because in Industry 5.0 (the 5th Industrial Revolution), trust, connection, and relatability is becoming more critical to move the needle to achieve dreams and business goals. This is because:

Trust drives preference - where and how we work, what we buy, the lifestyle we invest in.
Connection drives community - where you prefer to stay or invest because the sense of belonging is felt consistently.
Relatability drives momentum - when we relate, we openly and easily want to contribute and help get things done.

Hi I'm Susan

I use my decades of experience studying and practising my public speaking skills in a multitude of industries, roles, and geographical and organisational cultures. Each moment gave me an opportunity to learn how to grow my confidence in each new or challenging setting.

My purpose is helping people through change and believe in their value.

This purpose has gotten me through so many ups and downs in my life; the irony is this purpose helped me become better at going through change and believing in my own value without the burden of ego. This experience now helps me, help you.

To help you get to know me, below are some words from people who have worked with me. (All located on my LinkedIn profile too).

"I've been speaking on stages for a decade now, but there is still always more to learn and crucially, it's really hard to be objective about yourself and a presentation you've spent a lot of time on. Susan was incredible at providing great practical tips and was both kind and generous in heaping praise and constructive feedback equally - but without it feeling measured or contrived. I love her authenticity and value her insights. Thanks Susan!" Karen.

"Susan helped me prepare for my Tedx talk and was a pleasure to work with. She is a great listener which is a rare talent and she gave me space to explore my speaking style. She challenged me with good intention and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommend for all of your speaking needs and beyond!" Melo.

"I met Susan 7 years ago at Sandoz. During that time, Susan helped start up the corporate Toastmaster Club. What was evident then was Susan’s innate interest in her fellow colleagues. Over time Susan has developed that interest in to a passion. Meeting her over a coffee, it is amazing to see her progress as a leader and one so enthused by helping people! Her charm is infectious, yet she is steadfast in her goal, of developing people by providing learning and guidance in meeting their needs. Above all, I appreciate Susan’s ability to take advice and indeed, criticism to continually improve herself! Well done Susan!!" Mark.

"I had the pleasure of working with Susan on my networking skills. As an introverted business owner networking is my worst nightmare but I know how important it is for business growth. Susan helped me get out of my shell and got me into the right headspace for my most recent networking event. With her help I was able to make several valuable connections during the event. I started off holding back a lot and not sure what to say or do but with the help of Susan, I ended the event knowing how to connect with people on a more authentic level and felt so much more comfortable approaching people.

I am now motivated to keep networking as Susan has left me with an easy to implement action plan and tools I can use for future events. Susan is an amazing coach and I can highly recommend her to anyone that struggles with networking or like me has avoided networking completely." Sabrina.

"The first time I saw Susan speaking was during the company’s conference in Sydney. I was completely mesmerised and just could not stop talking about how amazing she was. There is a lot to learn from her, like the way she engages with the audience, conducts herself and keeps the conversation going.

It was always a pleasure connecting with her.

Wishing her all the very best and wish to work with her in the future." Ruchira.

"I feel privileged to have worked with Susan during her time at Veeva. She is inspirational to all those working with her from customers to colleagues. I especially remember her peppiness at our events, how she managed to engage audiences with her boundless energy and enthusiasm which is matched with her capacity to clearly communicate topics regardless of levels of complexity and speciality.

I'd be happy to recommend Susan to anyone looking to up their game in communications and public speaking." Huw.

"Susan is a confident communicator who relates to people at all levels of the organisation. I have always appreciated and admired Susan's friendly, flexible, and collaborative manner that makes for a very enjoyable working relationship. Susan has a demonstrated ability as a professional speaker, mentor, and trainer who brings out the best in people. Whether in corporate or community settings, Susan quickly establishes trusted connections, is attuned to client needs, and delivers on her promises. Susan's humanistic approach and abundant knowledge empowers others to present with confidence on any stage. I recommend Susan as a highly qualified coach and communications expert." David.
