About usPossibilities Realised is the vision of Sue Jefferson, having spent 30 years in senior and Director roles in major fmcg multinationals, transforming many businesses, markets, brands, innovations and manufacturing plants, both in the UK and globally.
I am passionate that realising possibilities can be a reality for every company and every person. My role whether as mentor, advisor or NED, is to listen and pose questions, suggest what is missing so people can see their vision with fresh eyes. Then by offering approaches, tools and support, people move forward at pace, with shared accountability in delivering big outcomes. These ways of working differentiate the doers from the talkers, the entrepreneurs from the dreamers, the leaders from the managers.

"My vision, is that I am the catalyst, the pebble in the pond – for your business transformation and for the people within it."
Taking advantage of Diversity of Thinking is a no brainer. It brings better ideas, better risk management, better pace and better execution.
Yet most teams don't. Why? Lack of diverse people and experience in the team. Lack of skill in ensuring everyone is heard, managing different points of view and ensuring action always moves forward. I can embed practical, change management tools with leaders, in boardrooms or with the often missed middle management teams. The resulting skills will stay with people so stronger working cultures remain, long after my presence. |
A Fresh ApproachI am a straight and engaging talker with the operational know-how to smash the hidden barriers which slow businesses down. My focus is where many others stop – on execution. Often overlooked, this is where strategies and great ideas founder. Unconscious department silos, conflicting priorities, fear of failure, unclear expectations, lack of people focus or confidence, are just some of the unspoken barriers I unlock.

Why it WorksAs founder & CEO of Realise Possibilities, I have over 30 years’ experience operating in senior and Director roles in major fmcg companies. Transforming markets, brands, private label supply, innovation, manufacturing plants and business units, both in the UK and globally, consistently delivering unprecedented results.
Alongside consultancy work, I am currently NED with seaweed entrepreneurs Seagrown Ltd, Director of Circular Malton & Norton CIC and Chair of North Yorkshire UK Shared Prosperity Fund for Business and Decarbonisation. |
How it WorksMany companies have no problems coming up with great ideas - but implementing them proves difficult. My business background means I understand the challenges companies face. I use my insight into diversity and gender issues in the workplace to unblock barriers to change, creating a positive and inclusive culture. I help managers agree and deliver on targets, and establish clear talent pipelines which invigorate employees with a sense of purpose, direction and involvement.
