Make Your Mark for HR Leaders
A series of four interrelated, in-person workshops delivered in partnership with Elliott Scott - HR search & recruitment for HR professionals who want to build their leadership presence and impact.
Coaching HR Leaders to Make Their Mark
Structured around my Make Your Mark with Susan Room® framework and toolkit, this bespoke workshop series features content, discussion and exercises customised specifically for HR leaders and the real-world communication challenges they face.
Whether participants are currently in a role, between roles, or preparing for their next opportunity, Make Your Mark For HR Leaders helps them strengthen their confidence, and communicate with greater authority and presence.
"Susan has a unique ability to immediately engage, empathise, and create a safe space for discussion."
Kirstin Hunt, Managing Director, EMEA, Elliott Scott.
"Susan’s Make Your Mark framework is absolutely phenomenal. I can’t recommend these sessions or spending time with Susan more."
Louise Brown, Global Head of HR, Board Chair, City HR Association Chair.
The Make Your Mark Framework, Applied to HR Leadership
HR leaders are routinely required to influence, advise, challenge and reassure - often in complex, sensitive and high-stakes situations.
Across the four sessions, participants use my Make Your Mark framework to explore how they communicate, how they are perceived, and how they can show up with greater presence, credibility and impact.
Participants are encouraged to think about how they can apply the toolkit directly to HR leadership scenarios, including senior stakeholder conversations, presentations, interviews, workplace discussions and moments where clear, confident communication matters most.

An Interactive Roundtable Format
Each workshop brings together a small group from Elliott Scott's HR community in a confidential, interactive roundtable setting.
Participants are invited to share insights, reflect on their own communication style, learn from one another, and practise practical techniques they can use immediately in their professional lives. The format creates space for honest discussion, focused learning and valuable connection with like-minded HR professionals.
