Seminars and Speaking

seminars and speaking topics

  • Do you want more than just a motivational 'pep talk'?

  • Does your conference need outside inspiration and input?

  • Does your team need a refresher to keep them on track?

  • Are you looking for a fresh, honest perspective on selling?

Sue Barrett has a unique way of getting to the heart of the matter- she combines extensive knowledge, research, insight, and practical experience with a deep sense of compassion for all people to bring forth a more enlightened way of thinking and participating in the world. This makes her stand out from the usual crowd of existing business speakers. She believes that everyone lives by selling something and that all of us, no matter our background, can achieve excellence through purposeful action. Her ability to distill complex ideas and relate them to life's everyday challenges and opportunities has audience members leaving with a stronger understanding of 'self' and how they can begin to achieve excellence through purposeful action.

Sue is best known for her work in illuminating and defining the elusive qualities that make for highly successful sales people. She is the lead sales writer for Smartcompany since February 2007. She launched her own business in 1995 after holding senior positions with a leading consultancy and recruitment company. Sue practices as a business advisor, public speaking, consultant, facilitator/trainer, coach and writer.
