===============================

Need a career and personal branding expert?

Known by her professional colleagues and clients as the
"Career Assessment Goddess", Susan is a National Certified
Career Counselor, Certified Personal Branding Strategist,
Certified Career Managment Coach (ICF-accredited), and
Parachute.com Certified Career Transition Jumpmaster. She
is a career and business consultant, adept in using branding
and career assessments to dispel career confusion and
reveal exciting career and business choices.

Susan is the author of "Master the Maze of Career
Assessments", created in 2002 and recently updated. This
15-module career coach training provides in-depth
knowledge, practical exercises, and interactive sessions
about career assessment selection, delivery and use, and
marketing.

"Susan employs a vibrant presentation style that seamlessly weaves theory, stories, case studies, and interactive activities with practical applications to elevate participant learning. She infuses an infectious passion into all of her trainings. Susan truly lives her brand as the Career Assessment Goddess." - Murray A. Mann, President, Global Strategies Group and Co-Author, Barron's The Complete Job Search Guide for Latinos

In addition, she has created "Leverage Enhanced
Assessments Power" (LEAP) Programs for Professionals and
Executives, Entrepreneurs, and Students/Entry-level
Professionals. Key principles of the LEAP Programs include:

• Deep insights and understanding are the foundation
  for strategic thinking about your career or business.
  Career satisfaction and success are attainable, but
  they have to begin with inner exploration.
  
  
• Identifying and clarifying the elements that make you
  unique gives you brand leverage. It allows you to know
  what target you're going after, why, and how to best
  reach that target audience.
  
  
• Whether you are a careerist or small business owner,
  you absolutely need to be clear about your brand, and
  assessments can provide crucial assistance in that
  clarifying process.
  
  
• The attributes, qualities and values you are identified
  with represent your brand, whether you know it or
  not. Personal branding allows you to uncover your
  unique brand, communicate it unerringly to others,
  and build your brand cachet. It enables you to stand
  out from the crowded brand arena. This turns strategic
  thinking into branded action.

"As a speaker, she is dynamic, unfailingly interesting, and
often just plain fun. I have been in her audiences on a number
of occasions and never fail to take away new knowledge, new
focus, new energy - and a new smile." -
Deborah Dib, Executive Power Coach, New York

Experienced, energetic public speaker
puts "pizzaz" into presentations

For more than 20 years Susan has partnered with individuals
and organizations to bring about much-needed change. Her
creative, interactive, and energetic presentations literally do
"wake up the house"! As one participant put it:

"As a former corporate trainer, my standards for presenters are quite high; Susan exceeded my expectations. If anyone can ignite a passion about career assessments, she is certainly the one to convey to the audience an enthusiasm that I find inspiring." - Phyllis B. Shabad, Exec. Director, CareerMasters and Former Exec. Board Member, Westchester-Mid-Hudson Chapter, ASTD
