Portrait of life coach Dionne Sutherland smiling outdoors in a vibrant flower field.

I was born in St. Andrew, Jamaica, West Indies, to two talented and hardworking parents—my father, an upholsterer, and my mother, a gifted seamstress. As the eldest of three children, I grew up in a home filled with creativity, resilience, and strong family values.

I attended Ardenne High School before relocating to the United States in the summer of 1984. My journey has been filled with profound experiences that shaped who I am today. Some of these moments, including life-changing events I overcame, will be shared in detail in my upcoming memoir, Survivor (From Being a Victim to Victorious), publishing Summer 2026.

MY EARLY JOURNEY

After moving to the U.S., I completed my G.E.D. in both New York and New Jersey. I became a mother at 17, which fueled my determination to build a stable and successful life.

My first temp position was with PaineWebber in New York City before moving to New Jersey. My career expanded steadily—from maritime law at Burke & Parsons to aerospace with Coltec Industries.

I am deeply passionate about helping others fulfill their dreams and create meaningful change in their lives. While I am not perfect, I lead with compassion, integrity, and a genuine love for people. Nothing brings me greater fulfillment than guiding someone toward their goals and seeing the joy and confidence that comes from their success.

MY PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

In 1996, I joined CIBC (now Oppenheimer) in their High-Yield Investment Department. Over nearly 15 years, I witnessed major mergers, acquisitions, and massive corporate shifts—experiences that sharpened my skills in organization, communication, leadership, and financial analysis.

During this time, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration/Management from Medgar Evers College, fully funded through my employer’s benefit program.
In 2006, while on maternity leave, I also earned my Real Estate License.

In 2010, I retired from corporate America and relocated to Georgia, where I embraced a new chapter in entrepreneurship, real estate, and personal development.

MY FAMILY

I am blessed to be the proud mother of eight children—four sons and four daughters—and a grandmother to five beautiful grandchildren. My family is my heart, and they inspire everything I do. While they each entered the world differently, they all share one home: my heart and my fierce dedication to their well-being.

MY PASSION & MISSION

My life’s purpose is to help others transform their lives, reach their goals, and fulfill their dreams. Whether guiding clients through self-empowerment, financial clarity, real estate goals, or personal breakthroughs, I bring compassion, authenticity, and unwavering support.

I may not be perfect, but I have a heart full of love and a deep passion for serving others. Nothing fulfills me more than watching someone take control of their life and achieve the success they once believed was out of reach.
