It’s better to be the author of your life than the editor.

Hi, Welcome. It’s Suzy.

This website was created to share information and updates about my teaching, podcast, books, and the NYU Stern Initiative on Purpose and Flourishing, and, if you’re so inclined, my dogs. OK, there’s not much about the dogs, but they’re wonderful.

If you’re here to learn about Becoming You, my self-discovery and career-exploration methodology, or the 10-10-10 decision-making system, you’re in the right place. While different in application, both tools have the same intention: Lives of more authenticity, clarity, and alignment, even amidst the sometimes daunting (and often messy) beauty of life.

Again, welcome. I’m glad you’re here.

    The Four Leadership Traits No One Tells You About, But Should, featuring Dr. Ellen Gendler

    You could fill a library with all the books written about leadership, and Suzy's read most of them (and written a few herself.) But over the past several years, she has developed a new rubric which elucidates the four key "personality clusters" -- e.g. personality traits -- that she believes are the true gateway to professional success. In this podcast, Suzy reveals and explains those traits, and to make them come alive with stories and a bit of lively debate, she is joined by Dr. Ellen Gendler, a world-famous medical leader whom Suzy believes is an exemplar of each and every one.
