About Suzan
Most people don’t struggle with public speaking because they don’t know what to say…
They struggle because anxiety takes over the moment they start.
I know that feeling personally.
Today, I’m a 2× TEDx speaker and communication coach, helping individuals speak with confidence—even under pressure.
I specialize in helping you:
• Control nerves in the first 60 seconds
• Stop blanking or overthinking
• Speak clearly and confidently in high-stakes moments
• Improve delivery, presence, and structure
My approach is not about memorizing scripts—it’s about building real confidence you can rely on in any situation.
Whether you’re preparing for a presentation, interview, or important moment, I’ll help you feel more in control and ready.
Clients receive a copy of my First 60 Seconds Cheat Sheet—a simple, powerful guide to help steady the first minute of any presentation.
If you’re feeling nervous, that’s completely normal. You don’t need to eliminate anxiety—you just need to learn how to work with it. I’ll show you how.

I had the incredible privilege of working with Suzan for over two months while preparing for my senior capstone oral presentation, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. Public speaking has always been a major fear of mine—so much so that I actually left school over 17 years ago because I couldn’t face completing the required presentation.
Suzan completely changed that for me. She worked with me patiently and thoughtfully, helping me build both the skills and the confidence I needed to present my research in front of a panel of professors who felt incredibly intimidating at first. She broke things down in a way that made the process manageable and empowering, and she always believed I could do it—even when I doubted myself.
What meant the most to me was that she was there supporting me right up to the morning of my presentation. Because of her guidance, encouragement, and expertise, I was able to do something that once felt impossible.
I truly could not have done it without her. If you are looking for a public speaking coach who is knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in your success, Suzan is extraordinary.
️️️️️️️️️️️️️️Working with Suzan has been life changing for me. She has helped me to regain my voice and my balance and for that I am truly grateful. I highly recommend her.
Suzan is a great teacher. She utilizes methods that instill confidence for several speaking situations, such as how to respond effectively during a Q&A session, how to create an effective outline for a presentation, and also how to maintain audience engagement. I recommend her to anyone, who wants a teacher that will create a customized training plan based on their needs
Suzan is one of the most genuine people I have met. Her kindness and joy comes forth in her work. I am grateful for her insights and wisdom in helping me achieve my goals. I am more of a confident speaker since working with Suzan. She taught me how to tap into the abilities I already possessed and to assertively vocalize them. I highly recommend her to anyone trying to improve their public speaking skills.
Suzan has an exceptional ability to connect with people from diverse cultures, backgrounds, abilities, and all age groups. She helped me find a way to turn my bitterness during my divorce into happiness by teaching me to love myself first. She made sure to let me know I was loved when I felt I wasn’t loved anymore. She taught me how to flip my bad emotions into positive ones in order to live a more peaceful fulfilling lifestyle. Last but certainly not least, Suzan’s talent as a public speaker places her among the finest of this generation and those to come.
I met Suzan during a university speaking event, where she was invited as a guest speaker to give a talk at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Her style is positive, confident, and deeply encouraging. She has a natural ability to connect with people and create a supportive environment where others feel comfortable expressing themselves.
I recommend Suzan because she has faced challenges in her own life and transformed those experiences into strength and growth. Her resilience, optimism, and authenticity make her an inspiring and trustworthy public speaking instructor for members of the Superprof community.Suzan helped me overcome a fear of public speaking that I’ve carried since high school. Not only did she help me build confidence.. she helped me understand how to communicate more effectively and keep an audience engaged and wanting more. Her keen ability to identify areas for improvement is incredible.
Beyond her professional skill, Suzan is a true mentor and a lifelong friend. Since knowing Suzan over the years, she has consistently been supportive, loyal, and has always shown up… no matter how busy she is. She doesn’t just teach these values.. she lives by them. I wholeheartedly recommend Suzan to anyone looking to build confidence or elevate their public speaking craft.I met Suzan in 2021 at the Miss Fashion Global pageant, and her guidance has stayed with me ever since. She encouraged me to be my authentic self and to speak and walk with confidence. Suzan has become both a mentor and a dear friend, and she continues to inspire and support me to this day. She is positive, trustworthy, and a true role model. I am very grateful for her.
