Give your audience more than inspiration—give them a practical tool for hope, agency and creation

As a professional futurer, facilitator and storyteller, Suzanne’s keynotes don’t just motivate; they empower audiences to take actionable steps toward hopeful, sustainable futures. By exploring the power of imagination and the stories we tell ourselves about the future, she shows how everyone has a role to play in shaping a better world today—and that it’s not too late to act.

With a background in performance and helping scientists communicate complex messages, she has a talent for making the complex accessible whilst keeping energy high and audiences engaged.

Her talks build on current research and evidence-based science, and are both optimistic and pragmatic. She talks about risks as well as opportunities, and how we can tackle and [grasp them resepectively. ] Her talks aim to leave audiences feeling upbeat, hopeful, and with actionable insights they can start applying in every aspect of their lives.
