SUE WILLIAMS, Author of “Believe You Can”
Lead author of “Believe You Can Succeed” and “Believe You Can”, two anthologies of true stories inspired by her poem Believe! Sue is also a poet, and creator of the Believe! Cards and app.
Sue took early retirement, having worked in the careers field for 21 years, first as a Careers Adviser, and later developing Government funded careers initiatives. She embarked on a journey of exploration, which included healing after the loss of her mother the same year.
Sue found that as a result of writing the morning pages (a technique for stimulating latent creativity put forward by Julia Cameron in her book: The Artist’s Way) she started writing poetry! She was also captivated by the Entrepreneurial world she encountered, and the many creative and spiritual women she met. This led to Sue compiling her first “Believe You Can Succeed” published in May 2013. The book itself was stimulated by her inspirational poem Believe! which can also be found in “Burnout to Brilliance” Strategies for Sustainable Success by Jayne Morris. (2015). It was Jayne who had initially inspired Sue to train in Laughter Yoga, having commented on her “healing laugh!” Sue has also appeared in Soul and Spirit magazine and on BBC local radio.
Most recently, Sue has created a Believe! app, which can be used to pick an inspirational card a day, focussed on particular aspects of belief. It also provides challenging questions to stimulate reflection on what belief means to you.
Believe – Inspired by a poem!
Sue’s talk will include insight into her personal journey, and how she came to publish two books, and create a set of Believe! cards and an app.:
- The power of taking time out
- Starting afresh after early retirement
- The morning pages, and the Believe! poem
- Inspiration from others on the Believe! journey
- Key steps to self belief

MIGUEL DEAN, Author of “Stepping Stones In The Mist”
Having lost his mother as a baby, Miguel then suffered a traumatic childhood at the hands of his abusive step mother. His subsequent low self-esteem led him into a life of crime, drugs, alcohol and violence which eventually led to homelessness and begging on the streets of Edinburgh. With the birth of his son came the realisation that it was time for him to begin taking responsibility for his life and the slow road to recovery began.
Miguel now sees that these experiences as a child and young man were gifts, that amongst other things helped him to develop the qualities he now has which enable him to work so effectively with others, including those who have not had the easiest start to life.
There are two strands to Miguel’s work that entwine around the theme of social transformation and for the last fifteen years he has worked with vulnerable young people helping them to grow in confidence and self-esteem. More recently he works to empower conscious young adults who are committed to contribution and service in their communities and the world through his Voices of the Future programme.
Secondly, inspired by the response to the book, his honest and moving talks from the heart, never fail to move people as he shares his understanding of how adversity is perhaps an amazing gift in somewhat unattractive packaging and how his own journey is mirroring the journey of humanity at this pivotal time in our evolution. He also facilitates sacred emergence workshops and one to one sessions for the more mature seeker of truth.
The talk will focus around The Book:
Stepping Stones in the Mist has three layers to it.
On one level it is an autobiographical story of Miguel’s journey…so far.
Level two is a self-help book as key principles that aided Miguel across the stepping stones are highlighted in the text and listed at the end of each chapter as Life Lessons for easy reference.
Level three is that the book is an experiment in openness and transparency as he shares with raw honesty and vulnerability the choices he made and the journey he embarked on to turns his challenges into gifts. The experiment appears to reveal that the more vulnerable we are, the more we reclaim our authentic power. And in so doing we give others permission to deepen their self-acceptance and to fully own their humanness.
