Hello I'm Sue Parker
Founder of Empowered Leaders in Tech
You know, everyone told me to stay safe in my job. I spent years getting nowhere, while others succeeded. I’d lost my way and was constantly plagued with impostor syndrome.
I felt like I wasn’t good enough, I worked harder than anyone & long long hours but it wasn’t recognised. I spent my career desperate to climb the corporate ladder, but spent most of it stuck & side stepping. When I got there I had something to prove, that I was worthy. It was lonely and I suffered life-changing burnout, a complete mental crash that made me physically ill. It ruined my health and relationships.
I spent my whole career trying to figure out how to become the best version of me, to feel confident, & have a real impact.
I discovered that the career paths taught to us are unrealistic, outdated and unfulfilling to most women’s needs. I had the choice to build a career for the person I wanted to be and life I wanted to have. My values, my skills & purpose. Now I’m a confident leader in work I’m passionate about. And I know this journey has made me a better person at home, an amazing mum, wife and friend.
In building a successful career I love, I learnt how to:
- To define what success is to you, align with your values, the person you want to become and life doing something of passion.
- Control Impostor Syndrome to be more confident
- What skills really matter (it's not all what you think!)
- Earn what your worth - In less than 3 years I doubled my salary - yep that's no a typo
- Getting your voice heard as a women in tech & noticed for the right reasons - so I got the best projects, was first inline for promotion and they couldn't say no
- What you should be focussing on versus overwhelm & burnout
My Mission
Now I'm on a mission to change lives, to help professional women up level and build a successful career getting paid to do what you love and make a positive impact.
I believe you can create opportunities, earn your worth and have a successful career. Once more I know that you can be fulfilled as a professional.
And when you get the balance & personal development right, that makes a happier you at home to build a life you love.
Empowered Leaders in Tech is my most meaningful project yet, the vision is bigger than myself. Providing unprecedented support, direction, mindset and strategy to women in and out of tech. So you can wake up motivated and come home fulfilled. I know how overwhelming it can be to try to figure it all out on your own and what it feels like. Don't make the same mistake - i's never too late.
