About Suzanne Whitby

I am a world traveller, a communication specialist, a wonder aficionado, an entrepreneur, a writer, an entertainer and a lover of life.

This is the "boring bit".  My biography, which sounds very grand indeed!

I am a leading independent communication specialist.  Not "marketing communication" but human communication. I am passionate about helping people connect. I believe that communicating in the right way for the right audience allows businesses, professionals and individuals to connected powerfully and meaningfully in a range of cultural environments, both professionally and socially.

I provide communication and cross-cultural consulting and project management, run workshops and organises a series of fabulous networking events and connection parties to help people create richer interactions with others.

The Career, or "How Did It Come To This?"

My career has spanned a range of sectors and continents. From my early days as an assistant  in a South African art gallery, I then moved to the UK where I worked with large corporate organisations and consortia including Nokia, CMG Logica, The WAP Forum and Energis managing multi-cultural teams, big budgest, major projects and tight schedules.

In 2004, I founded Brand You in the UK to help new and growing businesses create powerful, emotive brands that resonated with clients and in 2005, I founded Naturally Africa to do the same in South Africa.

In 2008, a realisation struck: what with online networking, social media and distance working, more and more people were finding it difficult to connect with others in a meaningful way, both socially and professionally. So I started i-connect to address this and every year, more businesses, professionals and individuals work with me to improve the way in which they communication and improve their connections with those around them.

Today, I use all my skills and my passion for "connecting" to help businesses, professionals and individuals identify the relationships they want and need, then develop genuine, meaningful connections with their audiences. Through my communication and cross-cultural consulting, workshops and networking events and connection parties, I help people create richer interactions with others.
