A Letter from Susan
Hello You -
If you’re reading this, you’re probably someone who’s already been professionally successful and hopefully it’s also been meaningful and fulfilling for you.
You’ve built something. You’ve led something. You’ve grown—both in your outer success and your inner life.
And if you’re like the people who find their way to Core, you’re not done growing.
You don’t just want to keep going—you want to go deeper.
To surround yourself with people who think big, care deeply, and show up fully.
To be part of a community that’s not just about achievement, but about alignment.
That’s why I created Core.
It’s more than a mastermind. It’s a place of depth, trust, and transformation—a kind of “island of sanity” in a fast-moving, fragmented world.
We bring together entrepreneurs, creatives, and leaders who are already successful—but who want to keep expanding.
People who care about doing great work, living great lives, and becoming the most fully expressed version of themselves along the way. Who want clarity and purpose in their Next Big Thing. Who want meaning, joy and fulfillment from whatever that is.
Here’s what makes Core different:
We don’t separate personal development from business growth or leadership development. We believe your mindset, your energy, your presence—these shape everything. You can’t think the same thoughts and expect a different outcome.
At Core, we shift the level of thinking first, and the strategies follow.
That’s the power of the conversations we have here. They change your state of mind. And when you’re in a different state, you see things differently.
You solve differently. You relate differently. You create differently. You see new options.
We also talk about wealth, but not just the financial kind.
Wealth in your relationships.
Wealth in your creativity and leadership.
Wealth in the day-to-day rhythm of your life.
Wealth in how you feel when you wake up in the morning and look at what you’ve built.
Core is a community that gets that.
People come for the insights, the breakthroughs, the elevated conversations.
They stay for the relationships. The belonging. The realness. The joy of rising together.
We’ve been doing this along time. And every year, I’m still in awe of the caliber of people who show up. Smart, conscious, generous humans who bring their full selves to the table. And who leave each gathering just a little more aligned, a little more lit up, a little more powerful in the best kind of way.
If you’re looking for a place where you can bring your whole self—heart, mind, ambition, and all, and grow alongside others doing the same, I’d love to talk.
This might be exactly what you didn’t know you were looking for.
Warmly,
Susan

Diverse Expertise for Holistic Growth
I took an untouchable objective and dream and brought it to life. I wanted to talk about awe in the world and now I do it in my work everyday.
"I was able to change my entire business structure and successfully relaunch my brand with renewed confidence, optimism, and sharper vision. The amount of resilience, sacrifice and overcoming impossible obstacles it took, would not have been possible without my inner transformation that was put into motion by joining CORE."
"If you are leading an organization, you need to understand your limitations to overcome them to practice leadership at a higher level to be an effective executive. The Core program will teach you how to do this."
"I learned a way to navigate a path not just 'out' of the business I had, but more importantly; 'through'. I discovered that a finite end to it was not the only option and was able to craft another iteration that allowed me a tremendous amount of freedom to pursue my creative dream, while still generating stress free revenue to support my new endeavor. The support I received was integral to this transition, and came in forms I did not expect, but was delighted to discover."
"Core has helped me see that I could "hang" with other accomplished, successful people. It was a big confidence boost for me."
I am transformed after six years of working with Susan and CORE Leadership. Not only have I learned incredible tools to continue my own personal and professional growth, but I have connected with a beautiful community who have witnessed my own personal transformation and given me the gift to witness theirs. In my first year with the CORE Leadership Circle, I was able to exceed my goals ten times over! I discovered hidden strengths and talents and how to utilize them beyond measure. I know that I wouldn't be where I am today without this group and Susan's guidance.
