Speaking & thought leadership
The talk they are still discussing in the parking lot.
Story-driven, evidence-grounded, and honest to the point of discomfort. Susie speaks to conferences, health systems, professional associations, and healthcare technology companies about the things everyone in the room already knows and nobody has said out loud.
From healthcare technology companies introducing new solutions to healthcare organizations rebuilding trust with their workforce, Susie brings the perspective of the people who actually use healthcare every day.
Featured speaking engagement
Saint Anselm College
A candid, story-driven talk on nurse burnout, workplace trauma, and what it really takes to build a healthcare culture where people stay — one of six signature topics that also include healthcare technology adoption and AI in clinical practice.
Signature topics
Six conversations healthcare keeps avoiding.
Each is built for the audience in front of it — a technology company's all-hands sounds nothing like a nursing leadership summit, and it shouldn't.
- 01Healthcare technology: what happens when your product meets a real unit
- 02Artificial intelligence in healthcare: trust, override, and the bad-day test
- 03Workplace safety: violence, incivility, and the cost of looking away
- 04Psychological safety: what staff believe will happen when they speak up
- 05Trauma-informed leadership: leading people who are carrying something
- 06Healthcare culture: why your best people leave and what they never say out loud
