Suzzanne Laidlaw
“I am filled with gratitude at the opportunity of helping business owners clarify a very clear path from where they are now, to where they want to go. So often business owners start with a dream, but get stuck in the daily challenges that appear in front of them. My role is to help align all the different moving parts of their business and consolidate it into a plan that makes sense – with clear goals and actionable strategies. It’s an absolute pleasure to help my clients step up to the next level in their business, and get excited again about the possibilities of what they can achieve. Receiving the global PlanninCLUB award is a privilege and humbling, and is just the icing on the cake – my passion for planning and helping others is what drives me each and every day.” shared Suzzanne Laidlaw from Perth, Western Australia.
