Writers, Event, TV and Radio Producers... This is for you!

Why... are so many talented, hard-working people frustrated and less and less productive? Why are stress levels continuing to rise? Why are people unable to learn under pressure? Why do even top producers lack confidence? Why do we start things but not finish them? Why is it easier for us to work on others' dreams than our own? Ask Susan Ford Collins, author, speaker and business coach, Miami, FL.

Why... do friends and family attempt to squash our dreams? Why are we afraid to speak up when we disagree? Why is creativity getting squeezed out of the workplace? Why is work/life balance out of balance? What skills do we need to use so our kids can succeed? Where has integrity gone and what happened to The Joy of Success? Ask Susan Ford Collins, author, speaker and coach, Miami, Florida.

Ask... Susan Ford Collins. She's hard-hitting, engaging and right on. A guest your audience will want to hear from again and again.

Susan's home speaks volumes! Ask to meet her there...
Orchids and bromeliads. Rakes and shovels, standing inside her iron gate. Brilliant red Turkish saddle bags slung over white leather sofas overlooking her koi pond. "Where is this?" you wonder. Somewhere exotic, but not in the midst of a big city. Each room is filled with treasures, newly found or precious... a smooth piece of driftwood she picked up on her morning walk, an old blue Sunbeam mixer that outperforms newer ones. Sun streaming, birds singing. Rich, aromatic, deep. Yet comfortable, inviting, familiar.

And oh, the stories she tells, gesturing to emphasize emotions and nuances. Like the lens of her high-powered camera, she zooms in on the details of life, friends, family and her own intensely passionate balance. Yes, Susan is comfortable in a snappy tailored suit, but far more at home in jeans or heading off to yoga. Ask her about mountain climbing in India, the sacred sights of England, raising two daughters as a single mom, or her serendipitous romance that thrives on E-mail, Verizon, and American Airlines!
