Meet Susan!
Susan is a leadership consultant, coach, and speaker with more than 30 years of global experience in corporate learning, leadership development, and performance improvement. She helps organizations build stronger leaders, more resilient teams, more effective sales professionals, and workplace cultures where people can perform at their best.
In a single year, Susan was diagnosed with an exceptionally rare form of bone cancer, and that was just the beginning. That year, Susan experienced several, life-altering events that rocked her world and relentlessly tested every emotional muscle she had.
The lessons she learned about overcoming adversity, combined with her professional experience helping others navigate change, inspired a book and a mission: Decide Happy.
​
Susan believes performance and fulfillment go hand in hand.
Today, she partners with organizations to build skills, resilience and confidence, reduce burnout, and help people do great work and feel good doing it. Whether she's working with leaders, sales teams, or individual contributors, she shares practical skills that help people navigate change, feel more energized and engaged, and perform at their best.
Susan is the Bestselling author of Decide Happy: A Practical Guide for Less Stress. More Joy. and Real-Life Extraordinary: Creating a Life That Lights You Up
​
Susan has worked with hundreds of companies and thousands of people across five continents to help them learn skills to thrive in business and in life. She has won numerous awards for her contributions to the business community.
She is also a slightly obsessed animal lover, stopping to pet dogs wherever she goes, and halting traffic to relocate wandering turtles out of harm’s way.
Susan is an enthusiastic globe-trotter, artist, former fitness competitor, a city girl who hugs trees. She is an exchange student mom, and still has an avid crush on Tim, her husband of three decades. As a survivor-thriver of an exceptionally rare type of bone cancer, Susan is literally one in a million. She is a self-proclaimed work in progress, and takes her mission far more seriously than she takes herself.
Susan lives in Baltimore, MD and Delray Beach, Florida with her husband, Tim and a rescue dog or two (sometimes three!)
