Meet Suzanne Styles
A creative entrepreneur at heart…
Born and raised in the UK, Suzanne left England for South Africa in 1981. She did not plan to stay long, wanting to return to England to go into the Royal Air Force to study air traffic control. That however did not happen once she discovered that South Africa has great weather and around 300 sunny days a year. After school she found herself doing many different jobs. In 1994 she landed a role in the Out-Of-Home industry with Rent-A-Sign. Her focal area was advertising at airports. Given the love affair she had always had with aviation, her career really took off. Being incredibly organised and practical with a natural creative flair for business, she rapidly made this space her own and just one year later was appointed South Africa’s first ever female director in the Out-Of-Home industry.
Successfully built and sold her own company…
The red tape and bureaucracy of corporates will eventually throttle the life blood out of every natural entrepreneur. Suzanne quit the corporate world in 2000 and went on unpaid gardening leave for a year due a restraint of trade being successfully forced upon her by the industry’s “old boys club”. In 2001 she and a female business partner opened their own company, Airport Media, which would specialise in advertising real estate at South Africa’s major airports. Their women-employee only company grew rapidly, won prized industry recognition awards, and attracted the attention of one of the country’s top media houses who expressed the sincere desire to buy them out. The buy-out happened, Suzanne stayed around for a few years in a management control role and eventually called it a day in 2012.
Searching for that very special “something” with Chris…
She married Chris Styles in 2010 and in 2012 began quite the journey of self-discovery with him. From mid-2012 through to mid-2015, Suzanne hosted The Success Show, a talk radio show on Mix-FM. The purpose of this show was to help educate aspiring entrepreneurs as to how to get their businesses airborne. She and Chris (her co-host) interviewed many of the world’s top life and business coaches and even got to chat with James Caan of Dragon’s Den UK. Her talk radio show resulted in Suzanne getting up close and personal with many of the world’s top life and business coaches and though she saw merit in what their products or solutions offered, she did not see the people buying these expensive goods and services getting the required ROI (return on investment). This bothered her because hard working entrepreneurial South Africans were individually spending tens of thousands of Rands at a time on US / Canadian / UK / International success recipes, yet months down the line, after having diligently applied themselves to “these golden success formulas” they were not seeing the fruits they had hoped for. It was this unfortunate revelation that spurred on Suzanne and Chris to search for something new, for something different, for something that could dial into the individual’s bespoke personal and professional needs.
Suzanne Styles – the Human Futurist Advisor…
Ever the practical one, Suzanne has been tremendously instrumental in helping Chris to develop his Intelligent Mathematical Blueprint [IMB] predictive model. Having the better business brain of the two, she is now actively looking at how they can commercialise Chris’s almost decade long research into the field of Human Futurology. Chris, who loves minutia and unravelling the devil in the detail, refers to himself as a Human Futurist Researcher and Suzanne, who is the big-picture thinker, refers to herself as a Human Futurist Advisor. Why? Because she will use your intelligent mathematical blueprint and what it reveals, to help you to think, plan and execute in a completely different way, a way which is aligned with and to how your unique lines of numerical sequences are put together.
