Suzie Lavington

After graduating from Bristol University with a BA in Drama, Suzie Lavington kicked off her career in film… on the ‘other’ side of the camera. After she’d had enough of making tea for famous actors and longing to trade places, she trained at Drama Studio London and made an *almost* living in theatre for the next decade. After missing out on a bazillion opportunities thanks to her crippling nerves and self-doubt, she set out on a path to discover the cause of those feelings… and conquer them, once and for all. Every single gem she uncovered on that little quest she poured into ‘A Girl’s Guide to Being Fearless’ (co-authored with Dr Andy Cope). Her mission is to get it into the hands and heads of young women everywhere, because high self-esteem and deep-down confidence should be every girl’s prerogative. Suzie delivers a series of Confidence and Wellbeing workshops/keynotes to schools and businesses and does the occasional voiceover. She shares her Buckinghamshire home with her relentlessly patient husband, their two spectacular girls (by far her proudest achievements), and a lifetime collection of DVDs they never watch.
