Lisa Suswain Coaching & Wagging Tails Ltd
Lisa started her career as a professional ballet dancer with Royal Ballet, before becoming a RAD ballet teacher. She then set up her dog boarding company, Wagging Tails, in 2007 providing exclusive holiday homes for dogs as a kinder alternative to kennels. Demand led Lisa to franchise the business to expand and she launched her first franchisee in December 2010 at the same time she was undergoing IVF.
Since then Lisa has been awarded, amongst other awards, Franchisor of the Year & Theo Paphitis #SBS and been featured in glossy magazines such as Good Housekeeping.
Having spent the last decade mentoring and supporting other business owners, Covid19 Lockdown proved the ideal time for Lisa to certify as a coach, NLP & EFT practitioner. She credits much of her success as a ballet dancer and entrepreneur to her resilient mindset & is passionate about helping new female entrepreneurs develop a robust mindset that will underpin their success and the action they need to take as a business owner.
