Leading Beyond the Numbers

Susan Ní Chríodáin, founder of consultancy Beyond the Numbers, is an award-winning chartered accountant with a Big 4 background. Through a career that spanned three continents and a range of leadership roles, she learned that success demands bravery, boldness and building strong working relationships; technical skills are only half the story. Learning to take responsibility for her own emotional state accelerated her ability to connect meaningfully with others.
Her MSc in Political Science showed her that the identity and culture of groups is heavily influenced by feelings. Working as a leadership coach and facilitator and undertaking various related courses opened her eyes to how we can all better leverage the power of our emotions.
Driven by the numbers of people who are disengaged at work, she is committed to creating more emotionally aware workplaces. Her popular podcast, Life Beyond the Numbers, is for people who are curious about having a more fulfilling work-life.
