Susan's Bio

I’m a former innovation exec who traded status meetings for possibility thinking. After years leading corporate innovation, I saw that most teams don’t lack process—they lack mindset. So I built one. Grounded in neuroscience and real-world experience, my method empowers teams and leaders to outsmart their brain’s instinctive resistance to new ideas, shift from reflexive blockers to intentional creativity, and build cultures where bold thinking not only surfaces—but survives. It’s not about temporary inspiration. It’s about equipping people to truly Live in Possibility™—rather than living in obstacle. Because when you shift how people think, you shift how they lead, decide, collaborate—and that changes everything. My in-person fee is all-inclusive. o Keynote o Workshop o Facilitation of a “take the learning home” session o Moderate a panel o Talkadot survey o Promotional video o Written article o Planning and debrief meetings with event staff o Travel (within US)
