About Susan

I’ve been so nervous that I cried in front of a room full of colleagues before a presentation.

I tried to sneak out of the building just as the emcee was introducing me to speak at Fenway Park, and I’ve delivered a flawless speech live to 36,000 people.

So, when I tell you that I can teach you how to go from introvert to influencer or how to move from quiet to charismatic — II mean it!

I’m Susan Callender — and as you’ve probably guessed, helping you to absolutely sparkle in high-stakes situations is my sweet spot.

I’m a professional performance coach and trainer on all things “people” or interpersonal skills. Those traits that determine not if you do your job well, but if your superiors, co-workers, and clients find you to be likable and will support you in that job.

I’ll show you how to stand out and rock every room you enter.

You’ll become a small talk superstar, speak on stage – minus the fright, appear polished, put together, credible, confident, and even dine like a diplomat if that’s also on your agenda.

I’ll teach you the secrets to connecting with anyone in everyday business situations.

Do you want the job offer? Work with me.

Do you want a raise or promotion? Work with me.

Do you want to make partner? Work with me.

Would you like to experience what it's like to be a social butterfly at receptions,  networking events and conferences? Work with me.

I'll help you squash limiting beliefs and behaviors that have kept you out of the spotlight and playing small far too long.

You'll have a fresh start, without the social, psychological baggage you've been carrying.

Female professionals come to me when they would like to appear more assertive when they’re ready to bring the “mansplaining” to an end, and when feeling overlooked, under-valued, upstaged or misunderstood.

Introverted, shy, socially reserved and otherwise high achieving professionals get the results and the rewards they’ve wanted for a long time after working with me.

Together, we create easy to deploy strategies that feel natural and totally pleasurable and which lead to tons of positive connections and a fully satisfying professional life.

I wasn’t born naturally social — the high-end client list, the stages, the TED Talk … that came on the heels of years of shyness and introversion. Years of being an award-winning entrepreneur, who couldn’t express herself.

Like you, I had the education, the credentials, and the clients, and still felt like a fish out of water in groups. You could say I was gasping for breath as I tried to get comfortable in any setting.

Whether it’s landing a dream client, getting a promotion, or being invited to speak at industry conferences, getting you that fresh injection of respect and notoriety is what I live for.
