Airing 4 November

From homeless to national motivational speaker

Suzanne Waldron is a national motivational speaker, a human behavioural specialist and a published author of A Flourishing Mind where she candidly shares about her life growing up in England, living in a foster home, being homeless as a teenager and her move to Australia.

Suzanne’s determination and passion for what she does has seen her earn a masters degree in applied coaching and work with both corporate and non for profit organisations in the areas of leadership change and the art of explicit leadership.

I want people to feel hope and not helplessness or hopelessness. When you have that you have the ability to look further from yourself.
