From business leaders to Olympians, activists to artists, Suki had an extraordinary ability to bring people together and to draw out their stories, helping others see the world, and themselves, a little more clearly.

She believed deeply in the power of learning from others, and this book invites you to do just that. Every page is a reminder that life, in all its complexity and beauty, is indeed a gift.

The conversations in this book contain inspirational and practical advice for self-help, personal development, leadership and motivation. It is focussed on helping people live and lead their daily lives with more purpose.

We are very proud that all proceeds from the sale of this book will be going to Macmillan Cancer Support, a charity that was so incredibly close to dear Suki’s heart and for which she did so much.

Suki Thompson wasn’t just an incredible woman. She was a guiding light, a force of nature and a presence that filled every room she was in.

Through her founding of Oystercatchers, Suki led change in reshaping the marketing industry, pioneering new marketing models for major brands. Suki was also a passionate advocate of accelerating the next generation of industry leaders. She mentored for WACL (Women in Advertising and Communications Leadership), lectured at Government Forums and was twice awarded a Merlin Mentor Award by the Marketing Academy. She held an Honorary Doctorate from Coventry University for services to International Business and Entrepreneurship. She was a member of the Marketing Group of Great Britain, and a former Chair of The Marketing Society.

And, as if that wasn’t enough, her proudest achievement was being a mum to two amazing children, Jazmyn and Sam.
