| CORPORATE KEYNOTES |
In 2004, Sue spent a few years as a waitress at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company Restaurant at the Mall of America. Her favorite part of her job was doing Gump Trivia with each table she served. She embraced her "gumpy side" with ease (ask her for some trivia - she'll be sure to offer some good ones). Over this time period, Sue offered at least thousands (maybe in the millions) of trivia questions to patrons, learning which created the most laughter and fun. Forrest Gump was one of Sue's heroes. She noticed he was always open to trying new experiences! It was a goal of Sue's to be more like Forrest Gump: trying new things, being in flow, being less attached, and enjoying life to its fullest. One of her steps involved buying a shrimping boat, just like Forrest! Okay, no she didn't. But Sue did take a big risk, faced storms, and came out on the other side more abundant than she could ever imagine!
Sue takes her audience on a storytelling journey to discuss the process of change. Whether change takes place on the individual or systemic level, most people feel a level of fear. It can feel as if your life is falling apart. Yet, when we shift our perspective that growth is a part of life, seen all around us from the hermit crab who seeks a new shell when it's outgrown the previous, to a child needing new shoes and clothes as they grow, it can help remove fear. While you may still emote some, like my toddler son who cries when told no, the change process can be more "gumpy" than we realize! When it's time for the old to fall away - it creates room for new and better to come in. Organizations are just a macrocosm of the individual microcosm - reflecting the individual's fears and change mentality into the larger system. Shift the individual and shift the organization!
This keynote will share a powerful, funny, and inspiring message on how to embrace change with optimism, hope, and trust that better is on it's way. The audience will not only be entertained and educated, but will also feel immediate permission to shift out of fear when change approaches - and even shift into excitement about it!
This keynote would be highly beneficial for organizations and workplaces who are experiencing change in their system. Organizations who are open minded to mind-body-spirit modalities to shift old energy, on the individual and systemic level, will find that change is much easier with less resistance. If you'd tried other ways without results - you'll be glad you are listening to this keynote. Sue approaches change from an angle many don't know about.
Sue is a Licensed Psychologist, Mental Health Speaker, Writer for Major Publications, Workshop Presenter, and proud mom of 2 boys. She speaks from both personal and professional experiences of walking into the DARKNESS BEFORE DAWN (time and time again in her life - like CHANGE is back in style).
Your audience will walk away remembering:

Your audience will walk away remembering:
- You can embrace the darkness vs. be afraid
- Change is all around us: it's a normal part of life
- Situations rarely go how we imagine or will for them to go. How to release control and surrender
- Shifting perspective on change: falling together vs. falling apart
- How to ask for help vs. endure alone
- It's always darkest before the new dawn: hold tight while you let go (just a little more)
- Change is the fertilizer for growth, learning lessons, gaining wisdom, having experiences, and living a full colorful life (and having funny stories to share later on)
