Fine-Tuning Communication for Lasting Success
LET ME ASK YOU

How much time + money are you losing at lousy shortlisted interviews?

Are you frustrated with:

  • Doers missing key points because they don't prepare enough?

  • Teams investing too much time on RFPs that don’t close?

  • Leaders who lack networking + storytelling skills to creatively connect with prospects?  

With 24 years' experience in A/E/C Training, I know it's hard to see super smart people who don't articulate their expertise. 

There’s nothing worse than watching a pursuit go sideways when your teams:

  • Fail to identify what's truly important to prospects + clients

  • Have misunderstandings in shortlisted interviews (goodbye to credibility + repeat business)

  • Lack people skills and misread the room

  • Struggle with client communication + breaking down complex data 

  • Waste time asking the wrong questions - or miss little things that differentiate your firm

  • Want to grow + add profits but don't know how to talk about company values

YES, WE WANT TO DIFFERENTIATE OUR FIRM!
IMAGINE

If everyone in your firm had:

  • Deep listening skills to prevent costly guessing 
  • Proper preparation + persuasive techniques that build influence 
  • Relevant stories + introductions for successful networking

A/E/C Pros Know How to Build a Room.
Now, They Can READ a Room and Help Grow Business!

THAT'S WHERE I COME IN...

Hi there, I'm Susan.

I’ve spent my 40+ year career in communication as a radio news reporter, anchor, publicist, and speaker.

I've interviewed everyone from homeless people to presidents.

So, why do A/E/C pros care??!!!

Most folks can build a room. They can't read a room and win pursuits.

What if your teams could break down complex data + share value with  storytelling? 

I did this in chaotic newsrooms for 10 years.

Early on, I learned what to include and what to leave out. And how to be a concise communicator.

I'm an award-winning storyteller and entrepreneur.

Few people have this kind of experience. 

I teach how to share crystal-clear messages in a friendly and authoritative way that builds trust.

Insatiable curiosity led me to study Neurolinguistic Programming. NLP is about human behavior, leadership, negotiation, and self-confidence. It’s beyond Emotional Intelligence and active listening.

What differentiates me from others?

It’s my charming personality.

I'm a no-nonsense, heartfelt, bada** trainer who brings you growth without pushy selling.  

Want to connect? 

GIVE US NO-NONSENSE, HEARTFELT COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES!

So grateful for Amplify!

We closed three of three interviews when we started working with Susan. And we continue to keep improving.

Susan has been an incredible coach and sounding board. She guides us to effectively communicate our stories, passions, and expertise.

Somehow, each week’s lesson aligned with what I’m working on or needed to hear.

Thank you, Sue, for bringing the stories out of me in the best way possible.

Susan's business development and communication training at our SMPS regional conference was fantastic!

In the month since Susan’s program, my firm secured a $70 million project we had been pursuing!

Her emphasis on slowing down and listening to build trust and relationships is helping us make the most of our conversations.

Susan empowers you to proactively stand out as a subject matter expert to help your firm grow.

I’m happy to recommend Susan as a speaker and coach!

I was in the most uncomfortable place and had to rethink my communication 
style.

Now I show up confident and energized.

The biggest breakthroughs have been in how I ask questions and build relationships.

I've been using the tools Susan gave me for 9 years.

My business has grown in ways I could never have imagined. There is no going back!
