A motivational speaker, writer, executive coach, consultant, and educator, Susan works ardently to create a world where people can and want to bring their best to everything they do. For the last three decades, she has built a successful consulting practice where she combines intuitive insight into human nature with profound empathy and boundless humor to help people and organizations make purposeful change. Whether working with executives in a boardroom, nurses in a busy emergency department, or college students in a lecture hall, Susan teaches people that success is based, not on what they studied in class, but on what they learned on the playground. She adeptly connects fulfillment in our relationships to how compassionately we treat one another, how transparently we communicate, and how fully we show up. At her core, Susan believes our most essential relationship is the one we have with ourselves.
Her impressive client list includes leading financial institutions, prominent universities, esteemed government, and military agencies, and the top medical institutions in the world. Ironically, she began her career as a Chemical Engineer working for Procter and Gamble but learned at a young age that her passion and skills better served another profession. Since shifting gears in the early 90s, Susan has made her life’s work: Inspiring your best human experience. She lives on a New Hampshire lake where the view, natural beauty, and ever-present wildlife provide peace, faith, and inspiration.
