Want a No-Nonsense Soft Skills Speaker?

LET ME ASK YOU
How much time + money are you losing at lousy shortlisted interviews?
Are you frustrated with:
- Doers missing key points because they don't prepare enough?
- Teams investing too much time on RFPs that don’t close?
-
Leaders who lack networking + storytelling skills to creatively connect with prospects?
With 24 years' experience in A/E/C Training, I know it's hard to see super smart people who don't effectively communicate their expertise.
There’s nothing worse than watching a deal go sideways when your teams:
-
Fail to identify what's truly important to prospects + clients
-
Have misunderstandings in shortlist interviews (goodbye to credibility + repeat business)
-
Lack people skills and misread the room
-
Struggle with client communication + breaking down complex data
-
Waste time asking the wrong questions - or miss little things that differentiate your firm
-
Want to grow + add profits but don't know how to talk about company values
IMAGINE
If everyone in your firm had:
- Deep listening skills to prevent costly guessing
- Proper preparation + persuasive techniques that build influence
- Relevant stories + introductions for successful networking
A/E/C Pros Know How to Build a Room.
Now, They Can READ a Room and Help Grow Business!

So grateful for Amplify!
We closed three of three interviews when we started working with Susan. And we continue to keep improving.
Susan has been an incredible coach and sounding board. She guides us to effectively communicate our stories, passions, and expertise.
Somehow, each week’s lesson aligned with what I’m working on or needed to hear.
Thank you, Sue, for bringing the stories out of me in the best way possible.

Susan's business development and communication training at our SMPS regional conference was fantastic!
In the month since Susan’s program, my firm secured a $70 million project we had been pursuing!
Her emphasis on slowing down and listening to build trust and relationships is helping us make the most of our conversations.
Susan empowers you to proactively stand out as a subject matter expert to help your firm grow.
I’m happy to recommend Susan as a speaker and coach!

I was in the most uncomfortable place and had to rethink my communication
style.
Now I show up confident and energized.
The biggest breakthroughs have been in how I ask questions and build relationships.
I've been using the tools Susan gave me for 9 years.
My business has grown in ways I could never have imagined. There is no going back!

Susan delivered our conference keynote and I highly recommend her. She understands the soft skills needed to advance careers and lives.
Susan talks about Return on Connection. She showed us how to articulate messages and change how we work. Attendees haven't heard these concepts in such a clear and valuable way. We'll be working with Susan on an ongoing basis!

Susan Young's session, ‘Amplify Your Online Presence to Build Your Confidence, Credibility, and Career,’ was a highlight of our 2023 Pathways to Industry Conference.
Susan is an excellent speaker and has provided actionable and powerful advice on how to show up and speak up for new graduates and emerging leaders! We had great feedback and look forward to having her at a future event.
