Building Resilience

By , February 8, 2021
Sussie Mog template 1

CEO and Founder of Resilience In, Susie Mogg, joins this week’s episode. Susie’s passion lies in building and studying resilience, with specific focus on how it can be developed and improved. She has worked with thousands of children, parents, employees and workplaces. Susie is of the opinion that resilience is the number one skill needed by everyone – this is especially relevant in today’s climate of Covid-19. Her vision is to teach people to thrive, especially in tough circumstances and environments. She strongly believes building resilience is not just about bouncing back, but about taking the opportunity to respond to challenges in such a way that we grow, develop and realise our full potential.

Susie’s initial business goal was to focus on children, building resilience through 1-1 coaching and workshops, enabling them to respond to challenges with confidence. Susie took the opportunity to expand to involve strengthening parents’ resilience with the similar training, and further branched out to schools, and eventually workplaces to achieve ongoing sustained levels of performance.

Before founding Resilience In, Susie gained over 20 years’ experience in People and Culture roles in large corporate organisations in both Sydney and London. Her background is impressive, working in management for global companies such as Deloitte, Ernst & Young and Suncorp Group.
