Suzi McAlpine understands leadership. She is a leader herself; thinks and writes about leadership; works with and alongside other leaders every day. Suzi offers specific, practical and inspiring advice based on her own experiences and her deep working knowledge of what leaders in this country and beyond are facing.

After a highly successful career working for OCG Consulting and Futurestep, a division of Korn Ferry, Suzi established her own business to help others master everything they will need to be, and remain, a world-class leader. Her thesis: that we all have a lot to learn, and be proud of, from leading in New Zealand. As Suzi explains it, small markets are probing, because there is no room for error. Leaders must lead with precision and clarity, achieving transformation in sectors that are nuanced, challenging and highly dynamic.

In her presentations, Suzi shares how leaders can best synthesise global learnings and trends with specific market insights to lead in distinctive and effective ways. “Learning down” from macro insights, and “learning up” from what it takes to succeed in a country like New Zealand, Suzi focuses on helping leaders acquire, amplify and apply the skills they need at each stage of their leadership career.

Her authentic, practical and inspiring approach makes the issues and challenges of leadership relatable to very different audiences. Suzi regularly speaks at a variety of public and private organisational events, both online and in person, across a wide spectrum of industries. Recent engagements have included presentations to the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons conference in Bangkok, Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply, Land Information New Zealand, Weta Workshop, Professionelle and the Public Sector Women in Leadership Summit.

If powerful and effective leadership is a priority for your organisation, don’t miss the opportunity to share time with one of New Zealand’s leading lights in this space.
