60 Seconds with Suzanne Robinson

Meet  Suzanne Robinson, owner of  Suzanne Robinson Style |  Personal Stylist and Coach

Tell us about your role and your organisation.
I am a personal stylist with a natural flare of putting clothes together stylishly. Many women lose their confidence in dressing, as their life evolves and circumstances change. Working with me will grow their confidence and make them feel fabulous!
I have always been obsessed with clothes and how they make you feel. What we dress our bodies in, is a statement to yourself and the world about who you are. It is our secret super power!
I help women understand their body shape, their best colours and their style personality. This knowledge enables them to make better choices when dressing and shopping.

Whether you need to reassess what you have in your wardrobe or you want to choose some new clothes for a special occasion, I will create a bespoke service for you.

Suzanne Robinson Style is operating for almost a year and is a personal styling service for all women. I work on a freelance basis, with no affiliation to any retailers.
My approach is based in the principles of coaching, with the premise that we all have it within ourselves to make change and be as good as we are supposed to be.

Give us a brief overview of your career journey so far.
I started out with as a General Nurse for a couple of years, and then moved in pharmaceutical sales. I spent most of my career, so far, working as a medical representative and then a commercial manager for Pfizer. Laterally, I managed sales teams across NI and England where I learned lots about leadership, Sales and Marketing.

When I knew that redundancy was looming, I retrained as a life coach. I decided to focus my coaching on style and completed my diploma in Personal Styling for Females. And then Diploma in Colour Analysis was added into that.
I am also a qualified Menopause coach and have experience in career coaching.
This year I will complete my diploma in Male Personal Styling.
