About
Elaine Lo and Pete Sutton are seasoned trainers and coaches who bring a unique blend of professional expertise and personal growth to their work. Their combined experience spans decades and continents, making ‘Petlo’ (as they are affectionately known to clients) a highly sought-after pair – so much so that they work entirely on word of mouth.
Elaine is a passionate advocate for personal and people development. Over the years, she has trained more than 5,000 employees from multinational corporations, small and medium-sized enterprises, educational institutions, and non-governmental organisations, helping them navigate their personal and professional journeys. Her professional credentials include being a Co-Active Coach, TKI practitioner, and FIRO-B Practitioner.
Pete, meanwhile, is an internationally acclaimed trainer with extensive experience in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. With a 20-year career at IBM, where he also earned his MBA, Pete transitioned into personal development, leadership, and management training. For the past 17 years, he has empowered individuals through his training programs. About 15 years ago, Pete discovered a spiritual dimension to life, becoming a clinical hypnotherapist. His journey through significant health challenges, including cancer, has enriched his perspective on personal growth and resilience. Pete is also a DISC practitioner and a certified Dale Carnegie Trainer and NLP Trainer.
Elaine and Pete’s partnership is a business collaboration and a personal journey of mutual growth. They recognise the role of emotions and spirituality in the traditionally head-focused business world. This understanding is reflected in their co-authored book, “8 Recipes for Life,” endorsed by The Scotsman as “…the next best thing to having your own life coach on call 24/7.”
Their story is one of ‘East meets West’ and ‘younger meets older’. They met in 2014 during a hypnosis course in Thailand, at a time when Pete was facing a grim cancer prognosis. Elaine’s support and life lessons helped Pete confront his deepest fears, while Pete guided Elaine towards living a purpose-driven life. Together, they have created a powerful synergy that supports their clients’ growth and fulfilment.
