Our Founder
Bamboo Being is built upon Sue’s passion and 37 year track record of working with creative people and businesses to bring their best work to life.
In the first half of her career, Sue spent two decades in the non-profit sector, dance and media. Her career as an Entertainment Lawyer eventually led to her moving from the UK to Singapore in 1997 to manage and then lead for 9 years the Asian operations of FremantleMedia, then the world's biggest producer of TV programmes, including the globally successful American Idol.
​
Working with an integral developmental coach as part of her leadership role re-ignited a passion for learning and development that her corporate role was leaving little time for. When she became a mother in 2006, she left the media business and started the first of many coach trainings.
Beginning as a solo coach practitioner in 2007, Sue focused on the potential for development through transitions, both professional and personal, mainly for individuals. In the next few years she was also invited to facilitate workshops for business schools and other graduate programmes and she trained as a facilitator, working extensively for the Civil Service College of Singapore on their leadership transition 'milestone' programmes
As in the first half of her career she has worked with creative businesses and people to untangle interesting challenges, but as a coach and facilitator, those challenges have become 'grist to the development mill' in which the real success is in the personal and professional development earned in all circumstances.
Sue read PPE at Oxford, qualified as a Solicitor in the UK and holds an MBA from INSEAD. She has diplomas and other certifications in Positive Organizational Psychology, Results Coaching, Integral Coaching, Coaching Supervision, Mediation and various modalities in personal and organizational development work as well as Pilates and Yoga.
Sue is of both British and Singaporean Chinese descent and has lived, studied and worked in the UK, Canada, France and Hong Kong.
