Sue and I met through our work for Educe Partners.  I love this conversation because it’s really the first long conversation I have had with Sue and it’s a very cool way to get to know someone and parts of their story.

 

In our conversation we touch on values clarification, purpose, humor as a currency, optimizing for serendipity, and so much more.  There’s deep wisdom in Sue’s journey and sharing and I anticipate you’ll find lots of inspiration.

 

Sue, thank you so much for the generosity of your time, for sharing these pieces of your story, and for engaging with deep authenticity and commitment to growth.  I’m so grateful for this time spent with you!
