Why Do People Love Get Real?

“Susan Sohn is one of my nearest and dearest friends. She has an inimitable gift to get to the heart of the matter, and whether in person, speaking, through social media, radio or in her writing, she makes it one-to-one. Authentic identity not only defines her passion, it describes who she is. Funny, bold, and free, I highly recommend Susan, if you want your audience to be engaged, inspired, and entertained.”

Susan was a key figure in conceiving and implementing the GetReal Live events in Calgary and Sydney, Australia at which I was the major presenter. The event was hugely supported by local business and experienced sold-out attendance. It was a pleasure to work with such a professional and to be part of an event that was so perfectly and flawlessly executed.

I recently read Lean In by Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg on women and leading with confidence. This isn’t so much a plug for the book although it’s highly recommended reading, but more about how it reminded me of my friend Susan, especially when I have been hesitant to step out into something new and scary or needed someone to be strong for me till I could find the strength in myself.
