Biography

With 30 years of corporate, board, and lay leadership, I continue to develop, facilitate, and influence strategic change, most notably for nonprofit organizations. I lead teams, boards, and executives to produce the desired direction for their organizations by applying spiritual practices, creating collaborative spaces, and fostering productive conversations. I accompany leaders in developing sustainable structures and lasting legacies, ensuring all voices are heard. Spiritual space for Sue is knitting water, walking her golden retriever Honey, and motivating her young adult daughters to follow their bliss.
