Simplifying and empowering ‘the how’
We bring you the best of both worlds: our specialist knowledge and hands-on experience. By combining our extensive real-life experiences and leading practices, we create a mix of powerful learning and development opportunities for you.
Our forward-looking offerings range from online courses, certifications, masterclasses, toolkits and guidance services tailored to your needs. All are designed to give you the techniques and tools necessary for taking your skills and confidence to the next level.
That’s because confidence is a vital ingredient for unlocking success in today’s rapidly changing work landscape. But here’s the thing – real and lasting success is never about one person’s self-assurance, their job title, or the function you belong to.
It’s also not about strutting around like you’re the bee’s knees while everyone else is buzzing in your shadow. It goes much deeper than that. Confidence is having that inner knowledge that you are capable and feel secure in your abilities, staying grounded as you rely on a stable compass. But confidence isn’t always a solo mission.
In our ever-changing work world, we must cultivate collective confidence to survive. Because let’s face it, we all have a role to play in making sure we are prepared and equipped to handle whatever challenges and opportunities come our way. We, like you, know that change is here to stay, so our work is never really finished.
Like many things in life, we can take inspiration from nature.
Take our incredible bees, for example – buzzing around with unwavering determination, manoeuvring their way through complex environments, and working together harmoniously. We believe we, too, need to tap into those same skills. After all, building individual and collective confidence is what sets us up for success as a community.
So, our passion is for sharing the tools and techniques that serve as valuable building blocks for gaining control over your career path, finding clarity amidst chaos, forging important connections, and nurturing both personal growth and collective confidence.
Why waste time – come with us on this exciting journey towards increasing your personal power and business confidence.
Be part of The Confidence Club – trust me when we say it’ll be worth it!”

OUR EXPERIENCE
Strategic Workforce Planning
With our extensive educational and implementation experience, we help companies improve performance across a triple bottom line by elevating their critical and creative thinking capabilities.
By using practices like differentiation, segmentation, workforce scanning, and scenario planning, organisations can explicitly align strategic execution with their workforce’s needs and abilities in line with market complexities. Ensuring mid-long-term actions are relevant and possess the recognised attributes of high-performing organisations.
Simplification
We embrace the complexities of the modern workplace and use our expertise in cognitive load theory to help reduce mental stress.
Our designs capture everyone’s interest, sparking curiosity and engagement among colleagues and stakeholders.
Through effective simplification, we believe the power of securing interest and attention is critical to creating lasting engagement and a willingness to collaborate.
Value Advantage
We work with individuals and teams on their unique opportunities and challenges and use tailored value-based techniques to explore fresh opportunities. Our methods uncover how value is defined and communicated for themselves and other stakeholders.
The focus is on strengthening market distinction, deepening loyalty and creating a more significant edge in the marketplace.
Human Systems Design
Designing with humans in mind is the goal of Human Systems Design (HSD).
This innovative interdisciplinary approach combines different fields, like psychology, ergonomics, sociology and anthropology. We use our specialist experience and methodologies to involve key stakeholders and identify where human, digital and physical interactions play a role.
Ultimately determining how work is performed and where improvement opportunities exist so stakeholders experience highly effective and engaging interactions and the business gains superior outcomes.
OUR FOUNDER
I love what I do and am passionate about helping others build their confidence and thrive in the workplace. Perhaps one of the things that shaped me the most was not being particularly successful in my early school years because of undiagnosed dyslexia.
While it certainly wasn’t a pleasant experience, it has, as it turns out, helped me achieve many good things and become one of life’s lifelong learners. Apart from gaining valuable hands-on experience in the private and public sectors, I have studied at Henley, London, and INSEAD Business Schools and become a certified StrengthsFinder Coach, Lego Serious Play Facilitator, Strategic Workforce Planning, and Human-Centred Design Practitioner.
I founded Be Future Ready Today in 2019 because, through my experiences, I found that applying techniques for lasting and effective change was the most challenging for people and organisations. I believe it doesn’t have to be that way, and now I focus on creating ways in which others are invigorated to simplify and empower ‘the how’. In 2022, I created The Joy Factory Podcast, which gives me the honour of working with people from all walks of life and discussing the art of happiness at work.
As a member of the Human Capital Institute and HRD Future’s faculty, I am regularly called upon to deliver organisational effectiveness, Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP), and capability-building programmes throughout the US, UK, Europe, and Southeast Asia. My experience spans multiple sectors, both inside and outside, such as talent acquisition and management.
Susan De Fazio is a globally recognised expert in business growth, strategic workforce planning and organisational effectiveness with 20+ years of experience.
