About this event
Finding Light When the World Feels Heavy:
Rediscover Your Spark
Sue Mann, Board Certified Coach
Thursday, December 5, 2024
5:00pm - 6:15pm Eastern Time
Virtual - Will be Recorded
In these challenging times, many of us feel distressed, uncertain, overwhelmed. This special gathering offers a safe, nurturing space to be seen, heard, and supported. Together, we’ll explore ways to hold our fears without amplifying them, acknowledge life’s truths without judgment, and tap into our courage and capacity to navigate hard moments.
As our session leader, Sue Mann, says:
"We’re in a state. And while it’s healthy to connect with our emotions, sometimes it can feel downright scary—like we might drown in a river of despair or flip our lids entirely in ways we’d regret later."
This interactive session is a gentle respite, designed to meet you where you are—without requiring you to share a word of what you’re feeling—and gently lift you up. There will be no toxic positivity, gaslighting, or condescending platitudes. This is a space for genuine uplift, free from the quick sugar highs that leave us feeling flat and dispirited.
Sue describes it as her “Patronus Charm”—a magical way to banish the soul-draining Dementors of life. Come join us for an hour of being gently uplifted, in a way that’s kind to your nervous system and helps you grow your capacity to face the world as it is. Yes…gentle is the word!
This session is a step toward fostering connection and leaving you with a deeper sense of possibility and belonging.
You deserve this gentle uplift. Join us.

From being the sole female head of a top-rated South African diplomatic mission in the Middle East, to being hired in as an “innovative change agent”, Sue partners with organizations to empower their people to rise and thrive in challenging times & difficult situations.
In her professional and personal journey, Sue has navigated through significant losses to experience “post traumatic growth.” She has learned how to hone her impact from being perceived as abrasive to being acknowledged for the depth of her resilience, courage, and compassion. She has taken fire - literally and metaphorically. She leverages all of these experiences to contribute meaningfully to others and her broader purpose, and to speak “truth to power” to productively address problematic leadership styles.
As an empowering partner to organizations she has, among other outcomes, facilitated organizational healing following instances of disruptive leadership that impacted culture and morale; restored trust and respect in relationships strained by conflict; and guided leaders at risk of derailing, to being praised for their leadership abilities. She has revitalized teams and individuals at risk of burnout, fostering resilience and renewed energy.
Sue’s services include individual executive and leadership coaching; group and team programs; and trainings and workshops. Specialty services include: transitions, resilience, conflict, and abrasive leaders.
Sue’s debut novel, "On the Road to Jericho: A Novel", shares these stories and more.
