“The training and coaching Suzie provided our emerging leaders through the Rural Ontario Institute’s Rural Change Maker Program was not only transformative but absolutely foundational! It brought us together as a very diverse group of young leaders with diverse lived experiences and inspired all of us toward collective hope, understanding, and the belief that change is possible! That together, we could shape our communities and the world we want to live in.

Suzie developed the curriculum and training tools needed for our emerging leaders in a critical way that underpinned the entire learning process and set us all on a good path forward. Together with understanding, care and hope! I can’t imagine launching our program learning journey any other way or with anyone else as inspiring and knowledgeable!”
