About Me
Helping brilliant people see – and say – what they’re really worth
I’m Suzie – talent manager, career coach, CV and LinkedIn writer and a long-time champion of people who quietly do brilliant work and don’t always shout about it.
I'm also a mum (two children and one cat), wife, sister, daughter, friend and colleague – which matters because we are all more than our job titles.
Let's be honest – job searching is the worst. If you’re feeling stuck, undervalued or unsure how to position yourself in a competitive market, you’re not alone.
I remember that Sunday night dread: the frustration of knowing you have so much to offer, yet struggling to get noticed. The endless applications with no response. The fear of selling yourself. The self-doubt creeping in.
I get it because I’ve been there.
After 14 years in one company, I hit my own career crossroads. When I decided to make a change, I faced the same struggles you might be experiencing now – my CV alone wasn’t opening doors.
Through a lot of trial, even more error and more late nights than I care to remember, I developed an approach that changed everything – one that brings together clarity about what you offer, confidence in how you communicate it and a sense of control over your next move. It led to a role that transformed my career. I made another move after that and, in 2020, when the world had gone a little mad, I left the corporate world altogether to help others do the same.
After more than five years being fully self-employed, in early 2026 I returned to an in-house talent management role working with senior leaders role four days a week. Moving from employed to self-employed and back again reinforced something I believe deeply: you’re never as stuck as you think, and no career decision has to be forever. You’re allowed to choose what’s right for you in a given season and to change your mind as your life, priorities and ambitions evolve.
My philosophy
I spend my days thinking about career potential, positioning and progression. Time after I've see first-hand how often capable leaders underestimate the value of what they bring.
My commitment to helping people uncover, own and articulate this value is the thread that runs through all of my work.
I’m at my best when I’m helping someone step back from the noise, see their experience with fresh eyes and express it in a way that finally does them justice – on their CV, on LinkedIn and in their own head.
Clients often tell me I have a knack for:
• Teasing out the stories and achievements that have got buried in the busyness of working life
• Translating complex roles or squiggly career journeys into clear, confident narratives
• Helping people feel more grounded and more themselves in how they talk about their work
In short, what really lights me up is helping you see what you’ve been missing in yourself.
I’ll help you see your career from a outside perspective and express it in a way that positions you as the standout leader you truly are, with a CV and LinkedIn profile that genuinely reflect this and conveys the the impact you make.
Because when you understand your own value – and know how to communicate it powerfully – everything changes.
Why work with me?
The last time I searched “CV writer” or "career coach" on LinkedIn, it threw up hundreds of thousands of results. I'm glad you found your way here! But why me?
✅ I know what hiring managers look for - I was one for 17 years! I've led recruitment campaigns, managed corporate hiring processes and interviewed hundreds of candidates so I get what works (and what doesn’t) in today’s market.
✅ I understand your world. As a former senior leader in Operations, HR and Digital, I know the challenges, pressures and expectations you're facing in fast-moving, high-stakes environments. And the rewards – so let's go and get them!
✅ I’ve got the right credentials - a Level 7 ILM qualified Executive Coach, a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), a member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (CIPD and part of the British Association of CV Writers (BACVW). I'm UK-based and ICO-registered.
✅ I’ve built my own business on personal branding. No ads, no gimmicks - just clear positioning, strategic networking and authentic connection. No coincidence that this is the exact approach I help my clients master!
✅ I write your CV and LinkedIn profile for you. I know, right?! It'll be a show-stopper. I've finally put my English degree to good use, so expect some wicked word-smithing and proper proofreading that does the one thing it needs to – get you on the 'yes' pile.
Above all, I want you to walk away with a stronger sense of your own value and the confidence to make your next move with intention rather than doubt.
You might even enjoy the journey - my clients tell me they do.
