Susan Colantuono Biography

Susan Colantuono - internationally renowned author, consultant, speaker and mentor/coach - will help you take your business savvy and career to new levels.

Here’s why: she discovered, developed and introduced to the world a definition of leadership and 4 keys that have transformed women’s leadership development and initiatives to close the leadership gender gap:

“Leadership is using the greatness in you to achieve and sustain extraordinary outcomes by engaging the greatness in others.”

This definition led to the discovery of…

  1. The Missing 33% of the career success equation for women. Further developed in her book No Ceiling, No Walls, it takes women beyond conventional wisdom and toward developing leadership skills in the areas of business, strategic and financial acumen.

  2. PIE Mentoring - what it is, how to get it and how it can help women earn sponsorship - is discussed in detail in her book Make the Most of Mentoring.

  3. Her TEDx Talk was one of only 1% of TEDx Talks to make it to the TED.com site as, “The career advice you probably didn’t get.” Nearing 4.5 million views, it has been translated into 23 languages and covered by media including The Washington Post, Fortune Magazine, and The Guardian as one of the Top 5 Talks that will change the way you work

  4. 15 Gender Dynamics that create barriers for women. These make explicit the mindsets of managers that hold women back and the concrete actions that open pathways for advancement.

In 2002, Susan established the Women’s Institute for Leadership at Bryant University and presented Leadership Mastery programs for women until 2010. In 2004, she founded Leading Women on a B2C model. In 2015 she made the strategic shift to B2B delivering unique leadership development programs for women and gender dynamics programs for managers at global clients e.g. BD, Verizon, DHL, onsemi, Nokia, Amgen, Campbells and others across a range of industries. In 2018 Leading Women was sold.

in 2019, with a goal of spreading her actionable insights to women without access to leadership development resources, she and Michelle Redfern launched the Lead to Soar network (formerly A Career that Soars!) - an online global community of ambitious women committed to developing their leadership skills and advancing in their careers.

Susan has published numerous articles on leadership and is the author of two other books. Her cutting edge insights have been featured in Time, AdAge, CNBC, Forbes, CBS, numerous podcasts and other media outlets. An in-demand speaker, Susan has spoken for business audiences from every continent.

Susan Colantuono Speaking Topics

  • Addressing and Navigating Gender Dynamics: Around the World View

    Global views of women and men on the major barriers to women’s advancement differ. We’ll explore the 10 most common barriers, strategies to minimize them personally and organizationally.

  • Executive Presence – It’s About More Than Appearance

    The vast majority of advice given to women on the subject of leadership presence, personal branding and executive presence covers advice that should have been mastered by middle management. This presentation goes beyond that to deliver guidance on what C-suites and boards look for – and ways you can deliver.

  • Make the Most of Mentoring

    How to create mentoring relationships that help your Protégés earn sponsorship and be seen as contenders for the top.

  • Enough About the Problem…Now What Do I Do?

    There is an abundance of research that identifies the reasons women are not reaching critical mass at executive levels within corporations, yet very few distinct solutions for women on how to break through to the c-suite. In this presentation, Susan identifies the 9 most important career success factors at the executive level. The information provided is useful for both women and men at the executive level and for the women they mentor.

  • Beyond Conventional Wisdom – Executive Actions to Close the Leadership Gender Gap

    Conventional wisdom has successfully moved women from career-start into middle management, but this traditional career advice is lacking the most important solutions for taking women to the top of organizations. In this presentation, Susan illuminates what is lacking in conventional advice to women and recommends 5 concrete actions executives must take to ensure that their organizations are solving the 21st century problem of closing the leadership gender gap at the top of organizations, not the 20th century problem of getting women into management roles.

  • Think Like a CEO: Enhance & Demonstrate Business and Financial Acumen

    Business acumen is utterly essential for career advancement. Many women believe they have it—yet aren’t perceived as having it.

    Learn the four core elements of business and financial acumen, how to use them, and actions you can take to develop and demonstrate your business and financial acumen.
