Keynote speeches:
If I Hadn’t Majored in English, I’d Never Have Made it in Management
Using personal anecdotes, humor, and insight, Susan explains why liberal arts students are exceptionally well prepared for careers in business, and eventually leadership. “While the ultra-specialized technical skills that are coming out of professional schools will create an army of qualified niche-filling followers, you, liberal arts majors, have genuine leadership potential.”
For student and faculty audiences in colleges and universities. (A customized version is also available for Human Resources organizations.)

Emotional Intelligence for Real-World Leaders
“Emotional intelligence” isn’t a touchy-feely fad. It’s a practical, concise, scientific approach to improving ourselves as leaders. What is EI, and why the heck can’t we just get along without it? Does it take time? Is it painful? Is it just another training ploy that doesn’t really work?
Whether we like it or not, emotions play a profound role in professional settings, affecting decision-making, actions, collaboration, and performance. EI research demonstrates over and over again that those in leadership who understand and apply EI well are succeeding where those who do not are not. Find out more about this important phenomenon, and give some thought to the ways in which you’re emotionally intelligent.
