If you’re interested in speaking to me about my expertise (negotiation/persuasion, conflict/confrontation, leadership, interpersonal/soft skills, mentoring/careers, gig/remote work, work/family issues), reach out. 

I communicate regularly (LinkedIn, podcasts) with working professionals, translating evidence-based research into useful, actionable strategies and tactics. 

I’m a pracademic who bridges science and practice…and with a sense of humor.

If you’d like to discuss a speaking event or media appearance, a member of Suzanne’s team will get back to you.
