Audience Feedback
"For me, it was one of the best talks, not just on the day, but after so many talks I have heard in the business space. It was the one that landed the most because Susanna was talking to visual people, to auditory people, to more kinaesthetic people - both with the characters in the framework she talked about but also her tone of voice, the pauses between the message that she was saying - that meant we had time to think about the topic, make notes. That's important as sometimes people talk so fast, but then we cannot even digest what they're saying. It was relatable, it was practical, it was useful, it was most enjoyable, Thank you."
SHOWTIME attendee, Gemma Junyent.
"I recently attended an event where Susanna was the opening keynote. She rose to the occasion, delivering a highly engaging talk that not only got the room buzzing but also shared valuable information that added significant value to the audience.
Strategy can be a challenging subject but Susanna created a usable process with practical models that everyone could adopt to enhance their own strategic skills.
I would highly recommend Susanna to any event or organisation seeking a professional in both subject matter and delivery"
SHOWTIME attendee, Caroline Cavanagh

Sandra Jennings, Founder of the Blue Pool Network, shared after Susanna spoke at her event:
"I invited Susanna to speak at Blue Pool Network's Networking and Connection group and she was absolutely outstanding! She presented information about 'the power of frameworks' and it was absolutely riveting!
Her delivery was impeccable and hugely informative and engaging and the slideshow was so professional interesting to watch. It was extremely thought provoking and I will definitely be working with Susanna in the future as I can see that she has a wonderful gift for really understanding how to grow your business in a balanced and measured way.
I had wonderful feedback from so many of the attendees on the day who all thought that Susanna's presentation was hugely thought provoking and inspiring. I am really looking forward to when Susanna will be able to present for us again, however, next time I will definitely ask her to speak for longer as she really was a wonderful addition to the day."

Business Topics
Defining Your Authority Framework®
Many entrepreneurs struggle to convey their value and expertise succinctly, which means they struggle to sell - In this high impact talk, that applies to every niche and industry, attendees will see how they can turn their ideas into scalable solutions that multiple business profits.
Establishing Powerful Online Connections
You don't need to meet in person to build strong and lasting connections. Susanna has been building international connections since 2002 - way before most of the world considered this an option. The beauty of meeting online is you are opening up to people who for multiple reasons cannot attend the in-person events. This talk shares how to create impactful online events for all.

Life Topics
Living outside the box
Susanna has lived outside the corporate box for most of her life, living and working across 3 continents, 5 countries and 20 cities (and travelling to far more) has led her to define her own business while caring for her kids.
A.I. and Divergent Thinkers
In today's world where AI is developing at a rapid pace, critical thinking becomes a base line requirement. Creativity that comes with divergent thinking is the superpower more companies need to endorse, and it is our job to utilise AI to supplement our work, not take it over.
The Highly Sensitive Introvert in Business
The business world is set up for extroverts, but there is a powerful undercurrent of business owners who have found a different way to operate. Susanna is one, and she wrote a book about how she did it - The Introvert Way® Roadmap.
Book a Interactive Authority Brand Workshop
If you're running a live event, whether in person or online, Susanna can facilitate an interactive workshop that will have attendees sketching out their business concepts clearly and succinctly in a matter of minutes using just a pen and one sheet of paper.

What You Need To Know Before You Book A Virtual Speaker
Being a great on-stage presenter is a very different skillset to being a great on-screen presenter.
Not having instant audience feedback, not being able to feel the energy in the room, not being able to see what's working and what isn't, and not being able to rely on on-stage methods of engagement, all mean you need a different approach.
It's far too easy to end up with a session that falls flat, has everyone secretly checking their phones and emails, and which simply doesn't deliver.
With over a 8 years of virtual speaking and leading online events, I can create a highly engaging, high-impact session for you online, as displayed in her unique Think-Tank Summit Experience.
There's more to it than taking your on-stage style and doing it on camera. Creating a transformational online event is a different skillset.
I've run virtual events for over five years, to audiences across the globe, using a range of software systems. I have plenty of experience in running interactive online sessions for global audiences.
