Meet Suzanne

Hello! I’m Suzanne Tulien, Brand Clarity Expert…

I’m here to help you get Conscious. Be Inspiring. Grow.

Ultimately, my brand consulting helps people + businesses position themselves to be congruent to what they truly stand for, become accountable to it, and commit to walking their talk.

Because authentically SHOWING UP is truly your “why” + the world needs you!

This is where BRAND development fits into my professional path. From personal branding to business branding, the common denominator goal is to step into your full potential by examining who you are from the inside out, and then committing to taking action on fully walking your talk.

“I exist to be a co-creative partner in the evolution of
self alignment +  business authenticity; creating consciousness,
inspiration and growth .”

 

Here’s how I do it:

Staying Conscious.

Having an awareness of one’s own existence, actions, thoughts, behaviors, word usage and surroundings is foundational to walking your talk and increasing your emotional intelligence. This is why it is absolutely critical to stepping into your authentic full potential. And when you do, amazing things begin to happen in your life that supports what you commit to.

I am sure you have experienced someone in your life promising one thing and doing something else, without regard to any emotional and/or physical consequences to you or themselves. Saying one thing and doing another is the easiest way to lose trust, create disappointment, and decrease your personal integrity. So just DON’T…just make a decision now to commit to walking your talk. It really IS that easy! With clarity comes ability and action. Are you ready?

Be Inspiring.

I believe each and every one of us has the ability to inspire others to be better versions of themselves, to commit to being authentic, fall back in love with who you are and thrive!

I am forever inquisitive about people, life, physics, energy, business, consumers, food, adventures, creatures of the planet, and areas that affect how we act and react within the lives we live. I thrive when I co-create with others to inquiring deep into their own lives, discover hidden gems and new awarenesses (‘aha moments’), and unleashing trapped potential. Your potential is alive and well inside your own brand DNA!

Grow.

People who know me know that I am a consummate student of life. I get energized and inspired when I learn AND even more so when I transfer knowledge to others. Being consciously generative is the driving force that keeps me in constant ‘learning-mode.’ I embrace change, especially when it refreshes, renews, and re-invigorates me to bust through to my next level of success. Everyone, even you, has the ability to grow, change, evolve, and transform into their unique next level of success and I believe I exist to be that co-creative partner that enables that to happen with those I connect with.

I believe: (click to view my Conscious Branding Manifesto)

    • Your Brand IS Your Business. And whether you know it or not, you ALREADY have one.
    • Stop Marketing, for now, Start Branding. Internal conscious, strategic, and deliberate brand development should happen BEFORE investing in any type of external marketing.
    • You already have a brand. The question is, are you in control of it? Your brand represents your unique DNA and how you deliver on your ‘way of being’ promise consistently and distinctively in every facet of your business from the inside out (employees, culture, customer experience).
    • Your brand is unique to you and your business, as unique as your own DNA. Your ‘genetic code’ is your ultimate COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE when you can fully align with it and deliver on it. Because your customers are not buying your ‘What’, they’re buying your “Why.’
    • You Cannot Be MORE of Yourself, By Yourself. “It takes a village….” comes to mind. When you think about the intrapersonal narratives (mostly negative) we all have speeding through our brains on a daily basis, we become part of our own problems! That is why we must seek out partners to co-create ourselves and help us become more accountable to stepping into our full potential.

To my spirited business clients…Your Brand IS Your Business! Just for you….I co-pioneered the  The Brand DNA System(SM), to provide that step-by-step tool which engages small to medium sized businesses to define their internal brand attributes (Dimensional Nucleic Assets®) through a team-centered approach. Then, enlist, equip, and empower them to integrate it within their leadership, culture, and processes to produce experiences that inspire, motivate and engage employees to deliver memorable customer experiences consistently.

To my dedicated solopreneurs…YOU are Your Brand! You are a passionate, persistent, gifted, purpose-driven solo-professional restless to fully live your potential and elevate your consciousness around your unique  Personal Brand Presence.  Are you more ready than ready to get crystal clear on your distinction?

We’ll work together to reveal where you can powerfully align not only your marketing message, customer experiences, and product offerings, but also to up-level how you relate within all areas of your life. Together we build consistency, distinction, deeper relationships and advocacy with who you are and empower you to live your potential.

Let’s get conscious, become inspired, and catapult your growth from the inside out.
