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. 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, achieve something & have fulfilment.
Eventually I discovered that 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 - 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
- Become a better person everyday - in all aspects of life
My Mission
Now I'm on a mission to help professional women to use your skills to uplevel 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.

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.
