About

While earning her undergraduate degree at the University of Texas at Austin, Susan discovered her passion for Industrial-Organizational psychology and for better understanding into the powerful interface between worker and organizational systems.

As a corporate trainer in the rapidly growing Cellular Telephone Communications industry, Susan became an avid student in the Total Quality Management (TQM) movement and trained her team following the wisdom of organizational authorities such as Collins, Covey, Drucker, and Lencioni leading corporate teams in the technology of long term success through customer satisfaction and organizational performance. While working at A T & T Wireless, “I learned to adapt quickly by adding value in an environment where the only constant was change.”

In 2011, Susan received her Masters degree in Human Services from St. Edward’s University.  Since then, she has had the privilege of working with the City of Austin, Google, and many small businesses within the Communications, Health Care and Legal industries.

With her family and friends,   Susan has lived in and loved Austin for most of her life.  She enjoys long walks on Town Lake, floating in Central Texas’ hidden swimming holes and volunteering on behalf of the Austin community she adores.

“A life worth living does not come from what’s realistic; it comes from what is inspiring.”

Katie Raver, NLP Austin

Are you feeling stuck and unsure about your direction, perhaps feeling pulled and pushed to meet other’s expectations at the expense of your own dreams and desires?

Or, maybe your life has been interrupted by challenging events and now your future seems vastly unknown? If this is you, that’s great. It means your ready to get moving in a more rewarding direction.

What if you already have a future vision that you are working toward and want more energy, focus, confidence and “a knowing” that your on the right path toward becoming the highest version of yourself?

Design Your Powerful Life will give you the tools, time and guidance toward taking steps to harness your desires and transform them into your real life by:

  • Assessing where you are now, a necessary first step any time you look toward the future.
  • Creating and moving into the most helpful mindset to set naturally inspiring future dreams.
  • Taking time to reflect upon your own “true north” and discover your own answers that can only come from within.
  • Developing an extremely clear, inspiring vision of your future and defining a path to take you there.
  • Lastly, we’ll step back and learn a unique goal-setting process to use on your own for big and small goals, or share it with others.

Founded upon the Neuro-Linguistic Programing (NLP) technology of achievement this 2-day workshop offers guided time, method and quiet space so you can dream deep and reach high.

You will unlock and activate your personal vision for an inspiring future so detailed and compelling, it will draw you forward into it!

She did so with grace and professionalism at both the executive leadership level , and communicated all the way down to each member. Thanks to her, we went from a process-less daily fire-drill, to an organized, coordinated team machine. If you cross paths with Susan and  Advancing Performance, stay close. A miracle has arrived. ” – May, 2016
