About Me - My Biography
Events, Events, Events..
Combine that with education, business, marketing, personal development, travel and my love for helping people to grow and you get a snapshot of my world for 22 adventurous years.
At 23 I started my first import fashion clothing boutique in Sydney, and since then I’ve founded and built 5 businesses; 3 of them with my husband Ken.
Post my career in fashion, I followed my passion for learning and personal development and built an events company over a few decades.
We marketed and produced 1,208 live events from 10 to 4,500 attendees, representing 110 speakers in 7 countries, with the purpose of educating and inspiring businesses and people to grow.
Now after 22 years promoting live events, Ken and I have distilled our combined 49 years in business, to help entrepreneurs, business owners, speakers, coaches, and internet marketers to fill and produce highly profitable live events.
Our Six Figure Event Masterclass (which includes 8 video modules, 77 templates, downloadable action guides, group coaching calls and 24/7 access to Ken and I) guides you step-by-step through processes. These include goals for your events, positioning your product or service to cut through in today’s overcrowded market, to pre and post event strategies, to ensure your event is an excellent and memorable experience for your attendees.
As a result of the demand from students of the Six Figure Event Masterclass, we are now consulting with a few clients to help them to predictably grow their revenues, through the live event and webinar models.

How I Can Help Other Members
Have you thought about running a life event and don’t know where to start? Perhaps you are concerned no-one will show?
In the early years on my business I was awake at 3am with some of that very fear. With a solid vision and a marketing plan it’s possible to ensure you attract a full room.
If you are interested, I will help you with your vision, plan, marketing, launch, and wrap up.
Do you want to grow your existing business or the size of your events?
Many clients contact me when it’s 1 week out from their event with a call for help. By that time it’s almost too late to turn things around. They have neglected to plan the most important part – the marketing and filling the room. There are last minute low cost strategies to fill your events and yet, it’s even better if the event is sold out a few weeks prior to the event date.
Why run live events, seminars, retreats and masterminds?
Live events give you instant credibility, authority and positioning as an expert. Magic happens when a group of people connect face-to-face.
If you are ready to stop being the world’s best kept secret, and share your message one-to-many events live events are a wonderful medium for that.
I’ve often thought how my business would have been SO much easier if I had someone to show me the ropes, especially how to avoid costly mistakes. So now, I would love to “pay it forward” and mentor you.
Why I Became a HerBusiness Member
I admire the community of like-minded people Suzi has developed and nurtured.
I have watched Suzi grow her first business since the beginning – we both started our seminar companies at the same time. I love the supportive community she has built and I appreciate having access to a learning centre available 24/7.
Suzi interviews some excellent speakers which satisfy my desire for learning and being the best I can be. I’m passionate about education, events and inspiring others and the values and mission of Her Business are aligned with my own.
