Susan Scott Biography

Susan Scott is a well-known leadership development expert, best-selling book, and in-demand Fortune 100 public speaker. After managing CEO think tanks for 13 years, having more than 10,000 hours of talks with top executives, and realizing that each conversation can alter the course of someone's career, business, or life, Susan established Fierce in 2001. Susan understood what works and what doesn't when constructing successful companies by designing and providing training for peers working with CEOs in 18 countries. In response to several inquiries, Susan decided to write a book in 2002. Fierce Conversations—Achieving Success at Work and in Life, One Conversation at a Time, the award-winning book that sprang from this process, was the end product. It was released in four nations, made the bestseller lists of The Wall Street Journal and United Press International, and was ranked among the top 40 business books of 2002 by USA TODAY. Susan experienced another "a-ha" moment when she worked with her clients to address sustainability. She realized that many of the "best" practices in companies were consistently impeding progress, yet, shockingly, they went unchallenged. Fierce Leadership: An Alternative to the Worst "Best" Practices of Business Today, her second book, was inspired by this. It was released in 2009, made The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times bestseller lists, and was ranked among the top 40 business books of 2009 by USA TODAY. Susan Scott, a thought leader in the business world and winner of the 2008 Stevie Award for Entrepreneur of the Year, has encouraged others to speak out for themselves for over 20 years. She makes it possible for top executives worldwide to have lively conversations with one another, their staff members, and their clients. Susan lives in Seattle, Washington, and travels the world giving keynote speeches and training brilliant leaders.
