About Whitby’s?

Who or what is Whitby’s?

We are a presence, presentation skills and communication company, and we help purpose-driven people communicate intentionally, confidently and authentically.

For the last 20 years, we’ve worked with individuals and organisations across Europe from our office in Innsbruck, Austria.

Why work with us?

For us, it’s all about the communication. Clever ideas, interesting projects, forward-thinking companies, lots of different people working towards positive change in all sorts of different ways: that’s what makes us tick.

If you want to elevate your presence, present authentically and impactfully, and you’re on a mission to make a positive difference in the world, we can equip you with the skills and confidence that you need.

What it’s like to work with us:
We play fair. We’re not greedy. We tell you the truth, not what will make us money. We’re brave enough to share the difficult messages. Relationships matter a great deal to us. Great feedback makes our week. We’re choosy about who we work with and what the projects we take on. We get excited by the small things.

We believe that:

  • Together, it’s possible to co-create hopeful, sustainable futures.
  • Clear, authentic communication can change hearts and minds and inspire action.
  • We all have a role to play in building a better world.

About Whitby's.

Woman-owned, woman operated.

From our beginnings in 2005, we’ve been woman-owned and woman-operated. We work with a diverse bunch of people, in-house and elsewhere, and we believe that this diversity offers our clients new and interesting perspectives that help them elevate their presence and present and communicate at their best.

This is crucial because change is happening at such a fast pace that we continually need to reassess our perspectives if we want to thrive.

Suzanne Whitby. Communication specialist, sustainability catalyst, ESG & CSR, hopeful futures.

Our expertise in the service of co-creating futures that are resilient, thriving, hopeful and sustainable.

Since 2012, we’ve put our skills, experience, and expertise into co-creating hopeful and sustainable futures. We believe that better futures are possible. With that in mind, we work with individuals, teams and businesses who are driving positive change and creating solutions that are good for people, the planet and prosperity.

We work with all sorts of people: visionary leaders, forward-thinking management teams, business owners, educators, activists, sustainability consultants, and individuals who are making a mark in the world. We also do a great deal of work with scientists, researchers, engineers and academics because their research and results are the foundation for many exciting changes we’re seeing in the world today.

We like to think of Whitby’s as a catalyst. We’re unlikely to change the world, but perhaps our training and coaching will help a change maker be seen and heard so that THEY can change the world.

Sustainability matters

I have worked with Suzanne on several communication and marketing projects.

She is truly a gem as a person and a marketing powerhouse. The depth and the breadth of her know-how has always left me speechless, as does the the scope of her creative and technical knowledge.

Her work is impressive. She has this endless creative mind and she not only have fantastic business ideas, but she seems to be able to put them in action in no time. What tops that all is that she is super easy to work, honest, very responsive, very helpful and always on the lookout for the best option for you. And it seems she operates on a different time dimension than the rest of us… Wonder woman exists after all!
