I’m Sue Hunter, and I’m delighted to share my journey with you.

My professional background is in law and finance, where I spent over 20 years as a partner in a law firm navigating complex tax, financial and legal landscapes and honing my skills in succession planning for families and their businesses. 

Over time, however, I began to seek a deeper sense of purpose beyond the traditional boundaries of my legal career.   Driven by a desire to partner with clients and their families as they travel through life, and believing that this allows me to have a more profound impact, I transitioned into a role which blends my professional experience with coaching, aligns with my values, and focuses on long-term wellbeing. 

Today, I channel my energy into helping professionals, families, and family businesses navigate life’s challenges while staying true to who they are.  I blend expertise, humour, and heart to offer a supportive, compassionate approach that empowers individuals and families to grow and thrive—without losing sight of what truly matters.

Values Statement

Values are especially important to me at this stage of my career journey, guiding my approach in coaching and helping me create spaces where individuals can thrive regardless of their backgrounds. Emphasising these principles can lead to richer discussions, greater collaboration, and more impactful outcomes.

I am dedicated to fostering a culture rooted in courage, generosity, and authenticity. I believe true strength lies in facing challenges with bravery and extending kindness to others. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental to creating an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered.

I prioritize honesty and transparency, acting with integrity, fairness, and respect in all interactions. Embracing creativity fuels innovation, while a passion for self-improvement drives continuous growth. I recognize the importance of playfulness in our journey, reminding us to find joy and creativity in our endeavours.

Altruism motivates me to act with compassion, contributing to the well-being of others and nurturing both personal and community health. Gratitude shapes my perspective, helping me appreciate the positives in life and the efforts of those around us.

By embodying these values, I strive to build a foundation of trust and mutual support, creating an environment where everyone can flourish.

If you share these values and would like to work with me, please get in touch.
