Realising the Dream

Sue McCarty, mother of three boys and a professional business woman, is the founder and CEO of Via NZ Ltd.

"The Inspiration for Via came to me through my own experiences as an ambitious young executive. In my late twenties/early thirties I had a young family and I was rapidly on my way up the career ladder. I had the good fortune to work for some very supportive companies that invested heavily in my personal development through executive training and development programmes.

“These programmes had a life changing effect on me, not only as a fledgling executive but also as a mother, wife, daughter and friend.

“The profiling and personal development process was both enlightening and inspiring, creating an inner strength and understanding that enabled me to take full responsibility for my life. I started to truly understand who I was, the reasoning behind my actions and why I reacted to situations in certain ways.

“I discovered how I could most efficiently operate given different scenarios and also how to process information in the most effective way for my personality type and learning style. I started to develop some great communication skills and to realise the awesome power of diversity. As a result of all of this I began to see strong win-win relationships evolving in all aspects of my life.

“I was introduced to these new skills and insights through experiential training methods, which allowed me to visualise my potential and accept that anything in life is possible if you put your mind to it.

“One of the most important things I learnt throughout this process was the method and associated value of seeking advice, insights and mentorship from others, while at the same time providing it to others.

“From a career perspective I came to the realisation that it is our transferable skills that set us apart from the crowd - not just our technical competence to get a job done.

“Realising that this type of profiling and development was pretty much the exclusive domain of high flying executives, I pondered on the value and potential of such a programme for others.

“Six years later and here we are - Via - the ultimate personal development opportunity.

“Whilst ensuring you have an awe inspiring experience here in New Zealand, we also aim to endow you with the confidence, awareness, inspiration, life skills and ongoing support structure for your journey through the challenges and opportunities of life”.
