My Why
I believe in human potential
I believe that we all have talents and with the right opportunities, tools, and nurturing, those talents will blossom and we use our gifts to better the world, positively touch the lives around us, and make a positive difference for others.
We have a “Gifts Mindset”
I believe in challenging others’ expectations of us, others’ rules for how we should live, and the limitations others’ try to impose on us so we can be the best version of ourselves.
My How
The way I challenge others’ expectations is to provoke reflection by presenting counter viewpoints, other perspectives, different ways to view the rules we live by through my writing and professional speaking.
I go beyond the theory by providing practical, research based methods and strategies that allow people to show what they know without being hindered by their perceived limitations.
I show them how to use tools at their disposal to maximize their abilities. These tools might be metacognitive, technological, attitudinal, physical (things to fidgit with or standing stations).
Clients learn how to be productive, efficient, and effective when using those tools.
My What
I share ‘the how’ through my books, presentations, webinars, and coaching.**
If you are the type of leader who believes that people can rise to reach their potential, then… Up your game. Talk to Susan!
