What women are saying
Your facilitator: Sue West
Sue is a seasoned facilitator who sees the mid and ‘north mid’ parts of a woman’s life as filled with possibility and potential. Her own desire to flourish after fifty led Sue to read every book and paper written on the subject. This, combined with her deep empathy, strong emotional intelligence, and excellent facilitation skills, means that she can inspire and engage participants as they learn and grow in a collaborative and fun way.
