Once upon a time…
Wilson, an avid sailor, was ship-wrecked and stranded on an island somewhere in the South Pacific. Out of desperation, he begged and prayed to all the gods he could think of to send someone to rescue him. However, to his dismay, no one came.
Months passed by and Wilson became quite resourceful, learning how to survive on the island. During this time, he accumulated trinkets and keepsakes from around the island and stored them in a hut that he constructed out of palm leaves.
One day after fishing, Wilson wandered up the beach to find his entire hut on fire, along with everything else he owned. All of his possessions were going up in flames!
Wilson fell to his knees in shock. It suddenly dawned on him that the only things he had left were the clothes on his back and the fish in his hand. Consumed with anger and rage, he threw a fist into the air and began cursing at the sky in fury!
“Why? Why? Why? Why is this happening? What did I do to deserve this punishment?! I’ve tried so hard. What’s the point? I give up!”
He collapsed on the sand, weeping heavily at his own wretchedness. Suddenly he froze… Was that? It couldn’t be… Then he heard it again. The resounding long blast and deep growl of a ship’s horn. He squinted his eyes to see, off in the distance, a container ship heading in his direction.
Wilson was rescued, fed, and hydrated. As they were heading to the nearest port, he asked the captain, “How did you find me?”
The captain responded, “We were voyaging across the ocean when we noticed a column of smoke on the horizon. We decided to go and check it out. That’s when we found you!”
Your hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life. Keep going. Tough situations build strong people in the end.”

Our most significant opportunities will be found during times of great difficulty. Misfortunes and adversities forcibly cause us to fall apart, but they are necessary elements of individual growth because they reveal our true potential. We must endure and overcome them to move forward. Never lose hope. Storms make people stronger and never last forever. You never really know what’s coming. A small wave, or maybe a big one. All you can really do is dig deep and give it everything you’ve got to surf what might turn out to be the greatest wave of your life.
Extraordinary people survive under the most terrible circumstances and they become more extraordinary because of it. A crisis creates the opportunity to dive deep into the reservoirs of our very being, to rise to levels of confidence, strength, and resolve that we otherwise didn’t think we possessed. Every challenge, every adversity, contains within it the seeds of opportunity and growth. The real heroes are those who rebuild their lives using adversity as a stepping stone to greatness in the midst of the chaos life has thrown at them.
“Times of great calamity and confusion have been productive for the greatest minds. The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace. The brightest thunder-bolt is elicited from the darkest storm.”

Each experience is a stepping stone in my life, including any so-called mistakes. I love myself for all my mistakes and missteps because they help me to grow. I can get through anything. Every challenge has a solution. Challenges are opportunities to learn and grow. I am safe and secure no matter what. I am getting stronger every day. I am flexible and can adapt when life doesn’t go according to plan. Life’s problems are not solved by perfect people, but by those who show up. I am someone who shows up. I know when to persevere along a path and when to let go and change course. I don’t have to go this road alone. I have, or can find, people in my life and examples to support and inspire me. I am worthy of love and my life is meaningful despite my losses. Life is full of constant change. This is just one chapter in my life’s story.
“So it is more useful to watch a man in times of peril, and in adversity to discern what kind of man he is; for then at last words of truth are drawn from the depths of his heart, and the mask is torn off; reality remains.”

More about Suzanne
Wisdom is what you get when you don't get what you want. With a career spanning three decades, across IT, Advertising, HR Learning, Human Behaviour, Leadership and Organisational Development, Suzanne became increasingly concerned that her passion for personal empowerment, vital health and unlimited happiness was being met with increasing polarisation, antagonism and separation in the business world. With a unique ability to perceive the world around her and reflect it back to others, pinpointing the core of complex issues, Suzanne is a truthteller, revealing how well systems are operating and how healthy an environment is at any given time.
Highly adaptable and open to elevating and changing beliefs with new information, she could see it was the narrowed mechanistic perspective (reducing and fragmenting life) causing the separation. A master at rebuilding the systems of Self, gained from transmuting years of childhood abuse and horrendous trauma across ancestral bloodlines, Suzanne has successfully studied and practiced several healing modalities for repairing, maintaining and elevating the body-mind-spirit complex.
Dis-harmony, dis-ease, and dis-connection have been weaponised against people and planet. Within the heated controversy of the past five years, the unveiling of the One World Order through the global implementation of AI networks for complete Technocratic Totalitarianism by 2030 is now well underway. In the wake of the power elite’s grab for ultimate control, it is time to get radical… but not in the way you might first think. Suzanne blends business expertise, a deep connection with nature, and experience in mental, emotional and spiritual transformation, to bring creative solutions for changing beliefs and reclaiming your co-creative power and organisational intent for business to truly be a force for life-affirming good.
Welcome to the Regeneration Revolution. It is time for humanity’s upgrade. The future belongs to the Conscious Leaders with enhanced creativity, embodied empathy, increased resilience, and improved agility. We have at the ready all we need to shift our mindset to one which is more future-fit for ourselves, for those around us, and for the organisations and communities we serve. Together we rise!
