Sue Evans, Academy Director
| Improving performance is my passion, and my first Continuous Improvement experience was as an Engineer. I led step-change projects delivering from £30K to over £5million in annual savings, and gained my first Six Sigma Black Belt – my second in Lean-Sigma came a few years later. | ||
 | Moving from a world class business to one which definitely wasn’t, was a huge shock. Bit-by-bit, I found ways round the complacency and objections, working with operational teams to more than double productivity and halve process scrap, in less than 8 months, on a budget of less than £1K. I started to fully experience the challenges of changing mindsets and behaviours. But creating that improvement culture from scratch has given me unique experience and insights, for equipping the people who I train and support to do the same in their own organisations. | |
| Adding NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) to my skills sparked a fasciation for human behaviour, and deepened my understanding of how to combine people and process improvement, for the very best in performance - as well as giving me a whole wealth of knowledge that I wish I’d had sooner, for smoothing the path to success. | ||
| I’m a problem-solver, and my mission is to get more people fixing the tough, scary problems that others shy away from. I believe that sustainable change has to come from within. Your people probably already know what needs to be better, they might even know how to start – so it’s about creating the environment and culture for performance to flourish. I’m a Master Practitioner and Trainer of NLP, and became one of the UK’s first Approved Havening® Practitioners, trained in each by the original creators. I have a Diploma in CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), a combined Diploma in Hypnotherapy, Coaching and NLP; and Institute of Leadership and Management certification as a Mentor and Coach. I'm also a Fellow of the Professional Speaking Associaton, the professional body for Speakers and Trainers - one of only around 70 Fellows across the whole of the UK and Ireland. |

| “What Sue taught me has made a huge difference to my life. I no longer suffer from the horrible feelings inside my stomach, making life so much more enjoyable. I also sleep so much better at night. I’ve already recommended the FAST Pathways skills to family and friends.” Gill, Wigan | "My job’s really stressful. It used to build up until easy, normal situations became a big challenge. With the skills I’ve learned from Sue, I feel so much better, and stronger. I have the skills to deal with any wobbles.” Zoe, Liverpool | |
