Leaders who are as good at shaping and using stories as they are at collecting and analysing data, have a much easier time guiding the behaviors and decision making necessary for a healthy, forward-thinking organization. We are our stories! What’s yours?

“My definition of a first-rate speaker is one who is easy to listen to, witty, and very wise. Personally, I’d like you to know you are one of the best speakers I’ve heard -- you not only kept the audience riveted (and wonderfully amused right through the entire evening!), but also provided specific ideas that we as professionals can use in immediate application in everyday life. You had everybody with you, as was evidenced by the knowing laughter during your talk and the numerous requests for book signings that followed.”

Susan is relaxed, friendly, and easy-going with an audience. The manner in which she presents material makes it readily understood - and one has FUN while listening. In the work-shops that she has conducted with my staff to encourage open communication and build teamwork, she has been able to elicit valuable feed-back that has helped build our business.

“I recommended Susan to be a Keynote Speaker for the Australasian Mutuals Institute Annual Conference in Canberra, Australia this year (2008). This conference is for Credit Union Managers across Australia. Susan literally blew their socks off, she addressed the Credit Union Directors meeting first and then delivered a plenary session to the conference delegates with her story telling keynote. She researched the group carefully and tailored her speech to the group and it's issues. She is very professional and was very well received by the audience.”

"Susan's theme of corporate mythology, and how to capture the essence of the business in stories that drive performance, was a perfect contribution to a day celebrating and acknowledging the achievements of Canada's Top 100 Women Entrepreneurs. Our audience found her messages to be insightful, inspirational and very applicable to their own leadership challenges. Susan brings a wealth of experience, an engaging style and an ability to draw out messages that will resonate with any audience. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to build a high-performance culture in their business."
