Hi, it's Susan

If you’re unsure why your career is stalled or believe it’s stalled because you lack business savvy, you're not alone.

Here’s the good news. Business Savvy is a skillset you can develop, regardless of your background, experience or education.

I know because I've been there.

Early in my career with an English degree and management training in my tool kit, I focused on building soft skills.

A bit later, the research I talk about in my viral TED Talk (over 4.4 million views) showed me that women are held back by perceived lack of business savvy (business acumen, financial acumen and strategic acumen).

Soon after that discovery...

 I was mortified in a planning meeting for the opening of a new Emergency Department. As the only non-exec in the room, I thought I would impress the CFO talking about what a great multi-functiional team I had convened and how well the initial team building went.

As you might imagine - he was underwhelmed!

And so, having just barely begun my journey to greater business savvy, I came back to the next meeting and talked about our plan for a budget neutral training strategy that would ensure revenue flow from the opening date and no regulatory penalty fees.

The CFO sat up and took notice.

My business savvy journey continued. My career and then consulting business took off enabling thousands of women to unlock their potential using my straightforward approach to building business acumen…and doing it without the overwhelm.

If you join them, you will transform your career!

I won't waste your time with fluff - I provide pared down, actionable insights and tools that deliver real results.

They've worked for me and women around the world. Now, put them to work for you!
