MEET SUSIE
I began my career over a decade ago in the marketing and advertising space - an industry known for being highly competitive. My goal was to work on cool projects with cool people.
To achieve this, I knew I had to do one thing - NETWORK.
But I didn’t know where to start. Networking sounds good in theory but it’s not like they teach a class in it at college (I would have definitely taken it if they had).
Where do you begin? How do you authentically strike up a conversation with a stranger? How do you ensure said conversation leads to new opportunities for both parties?
What started out as intrigue ended in my realization that “networking” was about doing what I already enjoyed: connecting with people for mutually beneficial relationships.
Sticking to my core values of honesty, openness, collaboration, and good old-fashioned respect I created a system for myself that made it easy to network and build the relationships I needed to create the career of my dreams.
Since then I’ve had the pleasure of working on dream brands like Adidas, Ubisoft, Disney, Marvel, Honda, FIJI Water, Justin Wines, City National Bank, Teleflora, Maaco, Nestle, and AMPM.
As I saw more and more success in my career, I kept getting asked for advice. I was encouraged by my parents, teachers, and mentors to start teaching my process and help others achieve their own career goals.
Fast forward 10 years later, and I have helped so many colleagues, peers, professors, friends, and new clients like you who are looking to grow their career or need a road map for setting off on a new journey.
I have worked with dozens of clients to help them develop a networking strategy and career plan that not only that feels authentic but gets them to where they want to be.
Are you ready to set off on the career of your dreams?
3 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT SUSIE
1. I owe much of my success to my parents. My mom and dad are the hardest working people I know and through them I learned the true value of a solid work ethic. More importantly, their unique natural gifts are opposite, yet complementary to each other. This showed me from an early age that you need different types of intelligence to be successful.
2. My entire career has been focused in branding, advertising, and thoughtful communications to help people and businesses reach their goals, and I have loved every minute of it! I can say this because I took time to figure out what I LOVE doing and how to make money doing it. I want to help you do the same thing.
3. I developed a comprehensive system for career positioning and tactics for growth out of necessity - attending a competitive grad school and entering the even more competitive field of marketing and advertising. My professor gave us sage advice on networking, telling us, “No one will hire you to advertise for them if you can’t advertise for yourself”.
That struck a chord with me, and what followed were a series of trials and errors until I found what worked Every. Single. Time.
So, what are you waiting for?
