Hi I'm Suzie.Â
What I’ve learned—through research, practice, and life itself—is that Communication is MedicineTM. That’s why I love helping purpose-driven leaders, coaches, and creatives to harness its healing power through the art and science of storytelling—so they can share their genius and shine with joy in life, love, and leadership.

If you're planning an event and looking for a speaker or MC with decades of experience bringing passion, presence, and positive energy to the stage, I would be honored to work with you. But please know before we begin that I don’t just deliver talks—I create experiences that invite audiences to reconnect with themselves and each other!

Brand Coaching
As a brand coach, I begin by holding space for the full complexity of you and your business—your goals, your genius, your well-being and the parts of your business that don’t always make it into the spotlight. Then I apply the art and science of coaching so we can co-create a brand story that is authentically aligned with your inner truth and speaks from your soul without sounding sales-y. If you are ready to feel the joy of having a brand story that compels the clients you are called to serve to work with you, schedule your brand healing session here (online or in person).
Brand RetreatÂ
If you’re a coach, creative or consultant feeling called to share your work more boldly—but your brand feels misaligned with your inner truth—I created the Genius Breakaway Retreat just for you. This online 2-day experience is all about taking the time you need to align the way you are communicating the value of your work with the authentic truth of who you really are. Over two days, we'll heal the disconnects between your passion, presence, purpose, and prosperity—and you'll leave with a brand story that you and your future clients will love!
