The Really Important Stuff About SUZANNE:

Passions: Experiencing and facilitating “aha moments,” making life more fun & creative, contributing to the sustainability our amazing planet, dancing, singing, eating truffle parmesan popcorn, watching mind-blowing movies, and loving and protecting animals of all species.

Favorite Movie: Grand Canyon, Beetle Juice, all James Bond films, AVATAR, and all movies like the Oceans 11 series!
Favorite Song: As a highly auditory & visual learner I appreciate a vast genre of music styles – depends on my mood.

Meet Suzanne Tulien,
Brand Clarity Expert, Author, Speaker, Trainer

I intentionally design my work life to be full of creativity, growth, and inspiration. I am thrilled to be an entrepreneur for the past 20+ years even with the challenges it can bring. I embrace the challenges and see them as opportunities to recognize the contrast and to get back into alignment with my authentic self.

Efficient. Transparent. Motivator. As a 'D' on the DiSC, I am highly driven. I have a need for variety, creativity and forward movement. I like to make things happen fast for myself and my clients to realize their own value position.

You see, I've done the personal branding work that I train my clients on. I've flushed out my unique attributes, I know my value position, and my 'Why." Clarity in my own essence is the only way I want to live – and I want to give that sense of liberation and creativity to my clients to become who they want to be known for.

I would love to talk brand elevation with you.

Thoughtfully elevating your brand,

Suzanne Tulien
