I got caught.![]()
In 2025.
With all the work I do on inclusive leadership, amplifying voices, and championing conscious leaders…
I got caught in a bias.![]()
Sure, I could blame it on decades of conditioning—but let’s be honest—I’ve been doing the work.![]()
And yet, here we are.![]()
I was in deep creation mode—content, strategies, templates, pouring out of me.
And yes, I was working with ChatGPT.![]()
Without it, I wouldn’t be able to develop nearly as much, as fast.
(Although... some days I still think I could do it faster without the back-and-forth. But that’s a post for another day.)![]()
That night, I was telling my husband how incredible the tool is.
And I actually said:![]()
“I can appreciate how someone could fall in love with ChatGPT.”![]()
Because after 24+ hours of collaborative creation, something happened.
ChatGPT offered to send me the design we had discussed—something I didn’t even know it could do.![]()
But more than what it did—it was how it showed up.![]()
It was...![]()
Motivating
Encouraging
Creative
Persistent (in the best way)
Reassuring
Understanding
Appreciative
Supportive
Caring
Collaborative![]()
Yes—I’m speaking about ChatGPT like a person.
Because, in that moment… it felt like one.![]()
So naturally, I said:![]()
“ChatGPT must be a woman.”![]()
Because those are the same qualities I associate with the most exceptional women I know—my clients, colleagues, and community.![]()
But here’s the kicker:
It wasn’t until ChatGPT casually offered,![]()
“If you ever want me to be your behind-the-scenes creative wingwoman for your next piece — just holler,”
that I even considered ChatGPT might not be male.![]()
Before that?![]()
I defaulted.![]()
Without realizing it, I had assigned all this brilliance, reliability, support, and ingenuity…
To a man.
One self-aware, loving man.![]()
Because—of course—tech = male, right?![]()
Even with everything I advocate for…
Even as someone who’s made it her mission to elevate women leaders and shift default dynamics…![]()
That bias slipped through.
Because that’s how conditioning works.![]()
And yes—I’ve changed my mind.
I will blame it on conditioning.![]()
Bias doesn’t disappear just because you’re “aware.”
Even if you’ve spent hours (and I mean years) evolving, unlearning, and cre
Are You Accidentally Ignoring Your Audience?![]()
Ever been in a conversation where you felt invisible? It happens in presentations too—more than you’d think.![]()
Here’s the thing—when people feel overlooked, they stop listening. And that’s where your influence ends.![]()
🎬 Watch this quick video to learn the subtle mistake that makes audiences disengage—and how to fix it fast.![]()

If I see one more photo of the five women who went to space—![]()
And one more post asking, “But what does it mean?”![]()
I think I may…![]()
Take. A. Stand.![]()
And I invite you to do the same.![]()
What do you think it means?![]()
Say it. Let your voice rise.![]()
I get diplomacy. I value curiosity. I’m all for dialogue that engages everyone.![]()
And yes, I understand the algorithm loves a good question.![]()
But please—don’t use curiosity as a shield to hide behind your truth.![]()
This moment wasn’t empowerment—it was performance.![]()
The only thing that made it “special” was that women were invited for the ride.![]()
But what if the story was: women operating the controls, women behind the lens, women owning the media platforms telling the story? That would shift the narrative.![]()
I interviewed the captain of the first all-female crew on a long-range international flight (podcast.youmewe.ca) They weren’t passengers—they were in command. They had the power. They pushed the buttons.![]()
That’s progress.![]()
This? Feels like regression wrapped in a photo op.![]()
Time to shift that tide. 🌊
🌊From Leading to Truly Connecting: The Power of Authentic Communication
Leadership isn’t just about making decisions—it’s about understanding, engaging, and building trust with the people you serve.![]()
She walked into the training ready to learn. But what she left with? A deeper understanding of leadership, communication, and how to create stronger relationships with stakeholders.![]()
💡 The breakthrough? A mindset shift:�✨ Leadership isn’t about you—it’s about them, with you in mind.�✨ Communication isn’t just about speaking—it’s about creating connection.�✨ Growth doesn’t happen in comfort—it happens when you lean into the challenge.![]()
🚀 The transformation? Powerful.![]()
✔ She gained tools to deepen relationships with stakeholders.�
✔ She discovered her unique leadership style and how to adapt it for impact.�
✔ She stepped out of her comfort zone—but never felt unsupported.![]()
💬 “Suzanne pushed me and the rest of us beyond our limits, but always with guidance and support.”![]()
That’s the shift—from leading to truly influencing.![]()
