🌊Leadership Isn’t Just About Showing Up—It’s About Showing Up Powerfully.

Some moments define you—high-stakes leadership decisions, critical presentations, conversations that can change everything.

For her, those moments no longer feel overwhelming. Because every time she prepares, she hears a familiar voice—mine (sorry about that 😁)💡 The impact? Immediate and lasting.

We don’t just focus on leadership and communication—YouMeWe transforms how people show up. As my client says:

✨ She challenges and supports, unlocking potential at every level—from CEOs to emerging leaders.�
✨ She sharpens both verbal and non-verbal communication, making every interaction more impactful.�
✨ She creates breakthroughs that last—so her guidance stays with you long after the training ends.

🚀 The transformation? Real. Tangible. Game-changing.

💬 “I literally have her voice in my head—always in the most positive way—whenever I’m preparing for an important leadership moment or presentation.”

That’s the shift—from communicating to truly leading.

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

Here’s the thing—when people feel overlooked, they stop listening. And that’s where your influence ends.

🌊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.
