Make 2026 BRILLIANT! Come along to our ART OF BEING BRILLIANT public event in January...

Suzie Lavington

Suzie Lavington is a keynote speaker, MC, trainer, speaking coach and bestselling author. A graduate of the University of Bristol and Drama Studio London, she began her career in film on the ‘other’ side of the camera, before swapping making tea for actors with treading the boards herself.

After a decade in theatre, Suzie brought her stagecraft to the world of personal development… and quickly became known for delivering talks that feel more like interactive, TED-style one-woman shows than traditional keynotes.

Dynamic, playful and thought-provoking, her sessions leave audiences energised and equipped with practical tools they can use at work and in life.

Suzie leads transformative workshops and delivers keynotes across a wide range of themes – from positive psychology and resilience to leadership, communication, productivity and confidence. She works with organisations in business, education and the public sector, helping individuals and teams navigate challenges, tap into their potential and bring their best selves to the table.

Suzie has a world-class ability to inspire confidence in others; a bestselling author of A Girl’s Guide to Being Fearless (Wiley, 2020), she is also the creator of The Art of Public Speaking workshop, which receives outstanding reviews.

Suzie lives in Buckinghamshire with her husband, two spectacular daughters (by far her proudest achievements), and a vast DVD collection that now serves mostly as vintage décor.

Nice words about Suzie

‘Our delegates LOVED Suzie Lavington! She was by far the most mentioned within our feedback survey, consistently praised as outstanding, motivational, interactive, and memorable. An overwhelming number of delegates rated her session as ‘Excellent’ and many told me personally that they would love to see her back or even hire her at other events for all of their colleagues to benefit from, too! Thanks Suzie, I am sure we will see you again!’

‘I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the fantastic session you delivered to the Ygam staff team today. The brilliant energy and charisma you brought really lifted the (virtual) room, and we’ve had lots of positive feedback already. Colleagues have said they left with plenty of food for thought and lots of ideas to take away… On behalf of everyone at Ygam, thank you again for such an engaging and impactful session. It was very thought-provoking, and very much appreciated.’

‘Suzie was amazing and really kept our audience engaged for the afternoon. We expected a few people to leave by the afternoon as we had a list of attendees who have a million things to do, but nearly all remained and that was largely down to the way Suzie engages an audience.
