Testimonials

Sue Roe is an exceptional leader. She can bring individuals and their diverse ideas together and guide them toward real, shared outcomes. As a consultant for our organization, she facilitated conversations that could have easily gone nowhere. Rather, she helped move our work toward clarity while encouraging us to incorporate bold ideas. Her strength is her deep expertise, and she uses that expertise to empower the people around her by brainstorming ideas, building trust, and keeping everyone moving toward a common goal. Sue is a collaborative leader, and our organization is stronger for having worked with her. I’d recommend her to anyone that needs a facilitator who can help turn ideas into real outcomes.

I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Sue Roe during the Culture and Leadership Professional Development (CLPD) training series she facilitated for my organization. It was my first opportunity to see her teach, and I immediately understood why she is so highly respected. I left each session inspired, energized, and with practical tools I could apply immediately in my professional life. Not long after, I was thrilled to learn that Sue would become my mentor. As a new Training Manager, I was eager to absorb every piece of knowledge and wisdom she shared. Her guidance has been instrumental in my growth as a leader, educator, and training professional. Over the past several years, Sue and I have partnered to develop and deliver numerous training programs focused on culture, safety, compliance, communication, and collaboration. Together, we have traveled throughout Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico, providing engaging education to field staff and leaders. We also collaborated to build a professional development program for managers at multiple leadership levels, helping strengthen leadership across the organization. Sue has challenged me to think differently, strive for excellence, and continuously improve the learning experience for our employees. Because of her mentorship, our training programs have become more engaging, adaptable, and relevant, ensuring our teams receive practical, up-to-date education they can immediately apply in their daily work. I truly believe our organization is stronger because of the positive impact Sue has had on our culture, our leaders, and our employees. Working alongside Sue has been one of the greatest privileges of my career. She is an exceptional nurse, educator, mentor, and leader whose passion for developing others is evident in everything she does. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and the lasting impact she has had on both my professional journey and our organization.

Dr. Sue Roe brought exceptional clarity and structure to our board retreat. As the former board president and chair, we experienced her ability to guide the board through fresh perspectives on fundraising, sustainability, and long-term growth planning. Her approach was thoughtful, strategic, and deeply attentive to the organization’s mission and vision. Our whole board felt she introduced ideas that they hadn’t considered, helping strengthen the organization’s direction. I recommend any board, whether non-profit or private, no matter the size, consider bringing in Dr. Roe for any strategic planning or board retreats. Her expertise brings practical strategies, a clear framework for developing sustainability, actionable growth planning steps, and a way of getting boards aligned, and moving forward with confidence.

Dr. Sue Roe has been instrumental in advancing Arizona’s healthcare workforce through her exceptional leadership, vision, and ability to bring diverse stakeholders together around common goals. In 2023, our state governmental agency contracted with another statewide organization that focuses on education, workforce, and civic engagement, and engaged Dr. Roe to facilitate a voluntary, relationship-based collaboration focused on addressing Arizona’s complex healthcare workforce challenges.

Through her steady leadership, expert facilitation, and commitment to collective action, by 2025, Dr. Roe had secured funding, established governance, and guided the creation of the Arizona Healthcare Workforce Action Network (HWAN), as a sustainable statewide membership organization. Building on the success of the annual Healthcare Workforce Action Summit, which she helped create and grow over several years, Dr. Roe united more than 60 organizations, including government agencies, educational institutions, healthcare associations, providers, and managed care organizations.

Her work with both the Action Network and the Summit has created a lasting platform for data-driven collaboration, enabling stakeholders to collectively address workforce recruitment, training, and retention challenges across Arizona’s healthcare system.
