Susan once created a business she thought was a lifestyle business. Over the next five years she constantly had to reset her vision as that business grew beyond what she anticipated. Bringing her professional corporate experience to the table, having worked for 16 years in a Sydney law firm serving elite Eastern Sydney clientele, Susan quickly shifted gears, aspiring to become a better leader, CEO, Company Director and partner to her clients. Susan approaches work, how she engages with clients, her podcast guests and blog writing consciously choosing to show up authentically, truthfully and with vulnerability to model and inspire change and empowerment. This blog includes transcripts from podcast interviews and interesting stories, some exercises and worksheets, all with gems of wisdom and key takeaways for you to benefit from. Enjoy!
