FIT (Fee includes Travel) Former CEO - focuses on moving from Leadership to Legacy by helping leaders to elevate their messages to maximize their ROI - Return on Influence!

Susan Luke Evans, CSP, Global Speaking Fellow, focuses on moving from Leadership to Legacy via Connection, Collaboration, and Communication. Using your STORY to create your LEGACY is key for LEADERS at all levels. Do you know what your STORY is, both personally and professionally? Is the Value Proposition of your organization in alignment with your STORY? If not, why not? If so, what is your plan to enhance it to leave a LEGACY through the lives you touch? Either way, consider talking and working with Susan and moving forward collaboratively in a purposeful fashion to achieve lasting significance!

As the CEO of a technical services organization she oversaw the execution of the original 5 year plan in 3 years, exceeded growth targets by 300%, paid dividends ahead of schedule, and completed a successful merger into a larger entity.

After the successful merger, she took her personal experience, combined it with extensive research, and began coaching all levels of leadership and working with staff on understanding how harnessing the power of stories shapes corporate culture and provides an accelerated decision making process at every level of the organization.

The effectiveness of her insights, and universal truths of her models and experience, broadened her client list to a wide variety of sectors and organizations. She is recognized, both domestically and internationally, as an inspirational speaker, trainer, management consultant, and coach, providing information, practical strategies and techniques, through highly interactive learning / coaching sessions for her clients.

Susan's ability to relate to the participants in her workshops demonstrates why so many of her clients are repeat customers. She understands the concerns of both leadership and staff and is known for her ability to listen and comment appropriately. Her research guarantees that she provides leading edge information, educated insight, and is able to help others discover what works best for them as individuals and as part of the organization's corporate culture.

Skilled in leadership development methodologies, communication skills, customer experience, performance management systems, and coaching ability, Susan adds value to all her client organizations. Not only has she delivered training in these related areas, but she has also designed and implemented programs and strategies for a variety of organizations, including multinational organizations. These experiences have added to her knowledge of diverse 'best practices' and models which she is able to address, and help others modify for their individual, specific needs to attain their desired results.

Her clients include organizations across industry lines, including multiple Fortune 500 companies on 6 continents and in fifty+ countries.

Susan is a Certified Strategic Planner, a superb facilitator, and one of less than 8% of the 7,500-member Global Speakers Federation to hold the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) Designation and is one of less than 1% who hold the Global Speaking Fellow Designation. She is a keynoter and workshop facilitator, an author, consultant, and coach, providing services both virtually and "live"!
