Client Reviews - Sue Parker | DARE Group Australia

Feedback from some clients

Vanessa Seah, Lawyer, NSW

Having been out of commercial law for several years I sought support to re-enter the legal sector after recent post graduate studies. I engaged Sue Parker and she started from the areas of law I was passionate about.

She brilliantly revised my CV and LinkedIn profile and coached me in interview skills. I interviewed at more places than I thought I would have and started a new role recently.

Sue is a real encourager and always keeps in touch. Her training on using LinkedIn to raise my visibility resulted in national and global legal tech and commercial connections and legal publishing opportunities.

Moira Were, AM, Mayor, City of Onkaparinga , SA

I cannot recommend Sue's LinkedIn expertise highly enough. She understood what I needed, was proactive and guided me through both strategic and technical requirements to get improved LinkedIn visibility, traction and influence.

Sue is a consummate professional and I am so grateful I found her and benefited from an improved LinkedIn presence within 24 hours!

Luke Richards, Enterprise Sales Leader, VIC

Sue Parker is the Michelangelo of personal branding. If you have got to the point where you want to make yourself stand out from the crowd or reposition yourself in your career market - then you need to give her a call.

She will go above and beyond to help work out what you're critical marketable attributes are and deliver assets to help you. I can wholeheartedly recommend Sue!

Gunnar Habitz, SaaS Senior Channel Manager APAC

I have known Sue for many years and have always impressed with Sue’s LinkedIn, personal branding and media work.

When you are looking for a careers and marketing expert with true integrity, ethics and a passion to bring important topics into the spotlight then you will surely find Sue.

When my role was made redundant last year the first person I wanted to engage to help with my career branding and direction was Sue. Her discovery process and ability to powerfully communicate my career and brand on and off LinkedIn was outstanding and highly engaging.

I am especially impressed with the groundwork she does on topics close to her heart such as how to apply ethics in media, how to avoid LinkedIn jail and how to be honest in a sea of shiny object seekers.

Her level of knowledge is essential for executives who want to stand out in this modern world.

Therefore I recommend working with Sue to transform your leadership and career brand.

Susan Bell, Susan Bell Research, NSW

I commissioned Sue to revitalise my LinkedIn profile and guide me on new features and posting. I loved the result!

Sue gives really really useful advice - and she makes the whole process fun as well. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to make more of an impact on LinkedIn.

David Heasley, Commercial Lawyer, VIC

Sue's work in branding, writing and designing marketing promotional materials for me were second to none.

She understands how to uncover and bring key businesses messages to life in the best way that fit together for real impact. Highly recommended.

Maureen Kyne, Maureen Kyne & Associates, VIC

I have known Sue for many years and was impressed with her knowledge of everything LinkedIn. But when I engaged her to help my business with LinkedIn strategy and market positioning a new world opened up.

Sue has an innate art to understand your brand and business and her creative approach to branding and my media positioning strategy was nothing short of brilliant, which is already receiving great results.

Her LinkedIn training and knowledge for best practice and high-end visibility is world class as evident from the people that she is working with. And her guidance, understanding and ability to dig deep and create a strong foundation that supports a sound marketing plan is a must have.

Sue’s is a valuable contributor to my business, and I value her integrity and hard work which aligns with my own mantra. Trust me, she is no cookie cutter and is not afraid to call the elephant in the room and does so fearlessly.

Ahron Young, Ticker News, VIC

Sue is a regular guest and an absolute gun when it comes to LinkedIn. An expert in the field, she's at the very forefront of the tech and has an incomparable knowledge as to how the platform is rapidly changing, and how business owners can use it to their best ability.

Brendon Mitchell, Account Director, VIC

It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Sue. Her ability to navigate multiple channels across LinkedIn made a dramatic difference in the uplift in traffic to my career brand and profile.

Sue’s writing skills and know-how would be an asset to anyone looking to build a strong personal brand. Her tenacity, straight talking style and clear communication makes working together easy. I give Sue my highest recommendation and encourage using her services.

Harry Sanders, StudioHawk, VIC

Sue recently ran great LinkedIn training and strategy sessions with StudioHawk The team had a lot of clear and actionable items to do post-workshop, several of which we are still working through and finalising strategies about.

It was good to have Sues guidance on what we could be doing better on LinkedIn.

Karina Moon, NSW

As someone who was looking to change careers to Learning & Development. Sue was great at unpacking my career history and helping me communicate my story in a more powerful way. She helped me gain a new perspective on the world of CV's and recruitment and was very knowledgeable about how to showcase the value you can bring to an organisation.

Sue takes the time to deeply understand her clients via a questionnaire and detailed conversations. Sue is a strong personality, but couples this with warmth and concern for her clients and is keen to see them reach their goals. My CV is much more powerful after working with Sue!

Wayne Aitken,Director, VIC

Sue has a unique style which ensures easy engagement, clarity and creativity in personal branding and positioning. Working with Sue this year has been invaluable across social media and market positioning of my brand. She takes considerable time to understand her clients and deliver targeted communications and strategies. Highly recommended.

Robert Liddle, LBA Group, VIC

Sue recently delivered a terrific LinkedIn workshop to a group of my accounting business clients in Melbourne. During the morning session, Sue educated and entertained with clear examples and tools.

She really knows her subject and a few clients had very technical questions which she was able to answer immediately. Everyone felt more inspired and able to use LinkedIn more effectively. Thanks Sue, highly recommend your training.

Alex Kelly, Financial Services Director, NSW

Sue was an absolute pleasure to work with. She takes a deep and genuine interest in you as a client, but also as a person. Sue really takes the time to understand what your real motivating forces are and helps focus your energy in the right way. Right from the first introductory phone call, Sue really pushes you (in a great way) to challenge yourself and any preconceived beliefs/biases you may have. Sue would be great asset for any individual looking to strive for more, and get out of their comfort zone.

Diana Domenech, Dianalytix Websites, QLD

Working with Sue over the last few months has been fantastic. She really cares about her clients so will challenge them and gently push them out of their comfort zones.

As a website service, my market is very competitive. Sue was able to really define my personal style and unique points of difference then communicate them authentically.
Sue has also taught me a lot about LinkedIn and I'm seeing great results from her methods. Thank you Sue for being so generous, great fun and supporting my business.

Grant Ferry,GRF Consulting, QLD

While contemplating my future business direction I engaged Sue The process we went through was a revelation of self discovery. We extracted my core talents and then looked at the value in the market place and my my true value proposition. This included not only my business USPs and professional networks but packaging that into a future focussed framework to maximise. Thank you Sue, I would recommend you to any business looking for new and clear direction.

Michael Noon, RPM, NSW

Sue has a direct and no BS approach which was exactly what I needed this year as I launched my business. She is a great listener who has a deep understanding of the challenges faced in building and communicating a new business / brand. Sue can see through issues quickly and helped me decipher clear direction and brand value. Sue created innovative profiles and marketing documents that saw immediate results on LinkedIn and other marketing activities. She knows her stuff, is fun to work with and went above and beyond for additional requests even at short notice.

Sia Shamsai, DBA Services, QLD

Sue is an absolute pleasure to work with. She's got a great process for getting to the heart of what makes you unique within your industry and a real mastery for words when it comes to "performance tuning" your LinkedIn profile as a proper lead generation tool (rather than static online resume). Thanks for all your help Sue!

Gerry Watts, Board Member, Senior Procurement Executive VIC

I recently engaged Sue’s executive career brand positioning and LinkedIn services. She spent considerable time to understand the depth of my career and board direction goals.

From this clarity, she created high level career collateral and a LinkedIn profile presence. Her knowledge of LinkedIn is top level resulting in immediate engagement outcomes.

Working with Sue was a great experience as she is direct and has wide commercial knowledge. I would highly recommend Sue to anyone looking to update their networks and presence, and like me, move into the 2020s.

Madonna Deverson, News & Intelligence Strategist, USA & Aust

Sue is great at getting to the heart of a problem, breaking down your career history and creating a targeted approach to guide your next steps.

She helped me clarify my personal brand’s positioning and refreshed my messaging to better reflect my objectives for my contracting career.

If you’re stuck and need someone to redirect and revamp your approach, I highly recommend Sue.

Rosemary Enguix, Food Scientist QLD

Sue has been so amazing with all her support and been a guiding light. I am confident how I want to move forward in my career after working with Sue and our clarity and coaching sessions.

A brilliant writer who knows how to capture your essence, I recommend her career services and branding work highly.

Rachel O'Connor, Siren Communications, London UK

Sue is a dynamo. Brilliant marketeer. Awesome coach and guide. She is one of a few people I always read when she posts something on LinkedIn because she really ‘knows’ what she is talking about.

She ran a LinkedIn workshop for SirenComms recently and we loved every second of it. Expert. Engaging. Commercial. Above all human.

Can’t recommend her highly enough and we will be doing a lot more with her later this year. Sue rocks!

Nic Hayes, Media Stable

Media Stable engaged Sue to help the whole business understand the true power of LinkedIn. As a communications company that works with traditional and online media we weren’t consistent with our approach.

The training was entertaining and very thorough delivering us the tools to use LinkedIn consistently with greater clarity, vision and purpose.

Stuart Brandreth, Sales Manager, WA

A quick note of thanks Sue. I've finally made the move and start my new role next month!

Your foundation advice and support to speak confidently to my abilities and actively owning my broad experience has been really helpful ... once I got out of my own way of course.

Sophia Auld, Words Mean Business, QLD

Without a doubt, Sue has more knowledge about LinkedIn and skill using it to make genuine connections and contribute helpful content than anyone else I’ve met.

Her advice and encouragement have given me the confidence to start posting content. Sue’s research into top performing hashtags has been particularly helpful, as has her up-to-date knowledge about changes and new features.

She is also highly skilled at branding and writes super-engaging articles. If you get the chance to work with Sue, grab it with both hands!

Brad Bloomfield, Senior Manager SAAS, VIC

Sue has challenged my way of thinking about myself and opened my eyes to new ways of thinking about my career.

Her methodology is tried and tested and she has this ability to cut through the noise and develop the sound bites that I needed to navigate the crowded market.

She’s made my LinkedIn profile & resume more truly reflect the personality behind it.

Felicity Isaac, MAICD MEI, SA

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Sue. She brings great executive recruitment, personal brand and marketing insights to the discussion, is frank and fearless in her advice, a wonderful support and advocate.

I would recommend her to anyone refreshing their professional positioning.

Karen Lukanovich, Summit2Summit, Canada

I had no doubt that Sue would deliver excellence when I engaged her as my marketing consultant to bring my LinkedIn, branding, messaging and content up to the next level.

Not only did Sue "get me" but she provided me with a clear roadmap for ongoing marketing development and where to focus my priorities. I am thrilled with these results that have quickly elevated my profile and website! Fun to work with, a generous spirit and refreshingly direct, I look forward to my continued partnership with Sue.

John Broadbent, Realise Potential, NSW

I'd witnessed Sue's contributions on LinkedIn for almost a year and understood that unlike a majority of those who use social media to 'look at me', Sue showed a genuine interest in helping people leverage their experience to make a difference in the world.

When I decided to leave my business and step out into the world with a fairly complex mishmash of stuff I do well, I approached Sue to help me unpack all of this into a cohesive personal brand.

Sue's knowledge of personal branding and LinkedIn, which are nothing short of superb, supported me in developing a communication and LinkedIn strategy that coalesced my objectives.

If you want a no-bullshit person to support you in your personal branding and LinkedIn journey, Sue's that person!

Richa Mehta, Digital Transformtion Director, VIC

Sue is a fantastic career coach with innate ability to understand people and what drives them. She is genuinely interested and goes over & beyond to help her clients put their best foot forward. She is warm, honest and bold in her communication.

Greg Morgan, VIC

I had the pleasure of Sue coaching me across executive career transitioning. Sue had an uncanny knack to totally re-focus my personal brand across multi-platforms.

With Sue’s years of working in the trenches as a recruiter, she knows all the pit falls, nuances, good and bad with the entire recruitment process. That skill takes years to develop which is invaluable to executives to reposition their next career step. One of the things that's remarkable about Sue is that she combines not only mastery for her services but deeply cares about her clients and their future.

Alexandra Marshall, NSW

Sue and I connected on Linkedin through a common interest in a post. Twelve months later, I found myself in need of a job search coach. Sue immediately sprung to mind. Sue’s initial consultation exceeded my expectations. The commitment and dedication to support my career reboot was evident.

I felt like her only client. Our process involved a Q&A, CV review and coaching. I learned things about myself I never knew. Gained new perspectives, new appreciations and most importantly, empowerment. Sue is a mentor and an ongoing support person. My outlook on my career and approach to my future has changed. A motivator, discoverer and realist.

Jason, Thomas, de Montaigne Strategic Consulting, NSW & Dubai

Sue went the extra mile and spent extra time with me. Her deep marketing experience was easily applied to my situation which was vital in setting me up into the next phase of my business.

Sue's skills in personal branding and knowledge of LinkedIn were fantastic, I am highly appreciative of Sue's contribution and follow-up. She is passionate about branding and genuinely cares about you as a client.

Dora Bebonis, Media Director, VIC

Sue is the most amazing person. She is highly professional, hugely experienced and deeply committed to providing a service which goes a million miles beyond the call of duty. In my recent career transition she managed to strip away any fears, anxieties and indecisions, replacing them with insightful guidance and invaluable advice.

Her unique, very personal and tailor made approach achieves outstanding results. I cannot recommend Sue highly enough. She is brilliant at what she does

Alex Geers, FinTech, MFB Solutions, VIC

I have known and worked with Sue for many years now and through out this period she has always operated with integrity, honesty and treated people with respect. As the pace of change in business continues to increase, it will become increasingly important to make better branding and engagement decisions. I would recommend companies commit to a different approach and send their managers and leaders to a workshop with Sue.

Rebecca Grace, Aggregate Group Consulting, NSW

Sue was awesome at helping me rediscover the motivation and goals for my business. Sue used this information to distil a concise core offering and personal brand. No easy feat! The whole process was challenging yet fun. An excellent communicator she comes highly recommended.

Sandy Madden, Production Director, NSW

Sue is amazing to work with and I if you need someone to talk and walk you through a transition time in your career she is worth her weight in gold! What a great mentor, advisor and writer. Highly recommend time with Sue for anyone needing a bio or cv rework or just a sounding board session or two on new chapters of overall career direction.
