Topics for Suzanne Waldron
- Looking sideways
Often we long for governments, society or organisations to deliver for us, and miss the everyday chances to look sideways at our peer group to bolster and support in ways that are often far more effective because they are collective. Looking sideways, is filled with a positive narrative about best placing our responsibility where we have most impact in times of relentless deficit world messages, such as:- What is enough? How starting small often is bigger.
- Enhancing our civic responsibility - IS - leadership.
- Building healthy cultures that are productive and caring.
- Proactively question what we need to let go of in order to be useful.
- Brings about how we show up for others without leaving ourselves aside in the process.
Weaving an energetic yet meaningful storyline, Suzanne shares a hopeful message of possibility inspired by events from an orphanage in Kenya, and coupled with her background as a behaviouralist, she unpacks practical, real-life tools and wisdom. This uplifting experience raises the energy of the room to ensure a productive and meaningful conversation occurs far beyond your event, leaving the audience feeling a surge of “hopeful responsibility”.
- A flourishing mind
After a traumatic childhood, Suzanne Waldron has become fascinated with how humans work and how to make most of life in the ever-changing moments of dark and light. This funny, honest, revealing keynote unpacks the three things that she puts at the top of her behavioural work as most significant when wanting to flourish in work and life. - Interviewer
Suzanne Waldron researches with her head but ask questions from her heart. This helps the conversation get to the heart of what matters.
Because Suzanne is obsessed with philosophy, economics and relationships, her operating frame is one of how to apply systems thinking, and human genius to the way we live and work. Suzanne Waldron is not a person who exposes, rather uncovers truths and insight that provides place for consideration over judgement. Indeed, Suzanne's conversations aim to elicit hope and possibility for all involved with a healthy dose of ‘what can we do about it’? - Panel moderator
Panel moderation echoes the skill of interviewing, albeit the obvious difference of several people to interact within the conversation. Conversations span incredibly diverse content and knowledge. As a curator it speaks to Suzanne's intense desire to collect vast wisdom and knowledge, and make it mean something. Much like interviewing, panel moderation requires a great deal of preparation and design.
Testimonials for Suzanne Waldron
Thank you so much for amazing opening. You have made me rethink how I think. I look forward to reading and seeing more about you.
Such an inspiring talk, look sideways and do one thing about one thing…so many powerful messages
You were so inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing your story and being involved
Loved the talk, empowering women & lessons for all. I liked how your spoke of ideas come to fruition through self efficacy and strength of character. Also the point about are we taking in too much information, what responsibilities do keep vs give away, and people becoming addicted to drama that is really nothing to do with them. I can see where this creates distractions. Thank you for such a thought provoking presentation.
I was there! ($80!). So many inspirational action points. I'm looking sideways, re-evaluating my one thing and thinking about what I am taking in. Thank-you Suzanne.
Such an important message Suzanne. It resonated so much across this big diverse audience and has sparked so many conversations. Thanks for sharing.
Struck a chord with me, great talk.

Here are some of the inspiring takeaways that have me buzzing:
Suzanne Waldron: We’re taking on more responsibility than we can handle; There are pieces of the puzzle that are meant for us and there are pieces of the puzzle that are not meant for us; do one thing about one thing…
Our team had a valuable time at the Health Innovation Community event earlier this week. The warmer weather was a bonus, but the real highlights were the powerful insights and meaningful connections made over three days. Leanne Anderson, our Chief Clinical Information Officer, was particularly struck by Suzanne Waldron's opening message on the power of small steps—"just do one thing about one thing." This theme echoed throughout the event
It was an extraordinary session. I'm deeply moved to see that there are people in the world who genuinely care for others and are focusing on the basics. Suzanne's heartfelt message was the perfect opening keynote for #HIC2024, reminding us all of the importance of empathy and ethical considerations in our tech-driven future. My Key take away from the HIC - “One thing about one thing” Thankyou for such an amazing keynote Suzanne Waldron
Suzanne Waldron shared a story very few of us could deeply understand. Though the words “If we don’t all share, we all die” was shared in the context of extreme poverty and food shortage, in digital health it wasn’t lost on me the concept of hashtag#sharetocare when it comes to sharing information that has the potential to save lives. “Solving problems in the tiniest ways
#HIC2024 theme "It starts with us!" couldn't be more fitting. Engaging with presenters on digital health and participating in workshops led by Suzanne Waldron has highlighted the incredible leadership and advocacy for digital innovation and implementation.
Looking Sideways – Suzanne Waldron:
Suzanne introduced us to the concept of "looking sideways," emphasising the power of focusing our efforts where they can make the most impact. She inspired us with stories from Kenya, highlighting the importance of collective action and personal choice in driving meaningful change.
“Do one thing, about one thing.”. Such a simple concept but the impact of which was really well enforced by keynote speaker Suzanne Waldron at hashtag#hic2024.

Suzanne Waldron gave an amazing keynote via video link at the launch of Soundfair’s HearMe Report. Using stories of lived experience and her deep insights into humans and their behaviour, Suzanne not only wove magic, she also galvanised change. People walked in wearing their professional ‘armour’ and the blinkers that come with one perspective, but walked out disarmed, seeing a broader vista and ready to champion change. We could not have had a more perfect and effective speaker - even beaming in remotely, her warmth, energy and compassion filled the room and people’s hearts.
Community Engagement
Soundfair Australia
I just attended the workshop that you gave for Audiology Australia and I wish to convey my very sincere thanks and gratitude. Over many years I have attended talks and presentations for many different audiences, sport, business, education, motivation and sales etc and your presentation was the most engaging, nurturing, engaging and liberating session I have ever had the pleasure to attend. Thank you so very much you have presented an approach to speaking which becomes an extension of clinical service and makes the process much less daunting.
Participant
Suzanne Waldron brings a refreshing approach to panel moderation and interviewing that is both inviting and enjoyable. Her warmth keeps the speakers comfortable and eager to share their insights. Her curiosity makes the topic in the discussion a worthwhile experience for the audience. Suzanne is highly skilled at making the conversation more about the participants and less about herself. This makes for an enjoyable and enlightening experience for either virtual platform or in-person events.
