Become the Leader Everyone Notices.

Bring Susie Tomenchok—leadership expert, TEDx speaker, Fortune 50 negotiator, and bestselling author—to your stage for a transformational keynote that equips your audience to advocate, influence, and lead with intention.

Too many high-potential leaders feel stuck or overlooked - not because they lack talent, but because they aren't equipped with the negotiation, advocacy, and relationship-building skills they need to advance confidently in high-stakes environments.

Without a proven leadership framework, your audience may be:

  • Overwhelmed by high-stakes conversations
  • Struggling to advocate for themselves or their teams
  • Reacting emotionally when pressure mounts
  • Missing out on promotions or meaningful opportunities
  • Lacking allies or support when they need it most
  • Feeling invisible or undervalued despite their hard work
  • Invisible in the rooms where decisions are made

“Susie has this dynamic style of speaking that is very highly relatable. So people are inspired and remember what she says.”

I know, because I have been there.

Early in my career, despite my drive and results, I often felt unseen and unheard at the table. It wasn’t until I learned to clarify my value and advocate for myself—using the same negotiation skills I taught Fortune 100 clients—that my visibility and influence transformed. The turning point? Discovering that using my Voice with intention creates exponential career growth. Now, I help others do the same.

GRAB SUSIE'S MEDIA KIT

That's why I developed the RAISE™ Framework.

“RAISE” is based on sound negotiation strategy -  it’s like  GPS for high-stakes moments.

R

Recognize

Recognize when you’re in a high-stakes moment and manage your emotional state. Awareness gives you the power to pause, zoom out, & respond strategically, not reactively.

A

Align

Align to the other side’s interests. Shift from your own fears to understanding what your counterpart needs, so you can find true leverage and position yourself as the solution.

I

Insert

Insert your value. Clearly and confidently articulate your contributions, expertise, and the relationships you’ve built—reminding others (and yourself) why you matter.

S

Support

Support others and build relationships before you need them. Invest in people and goodwill so you have advocates and allies who will stand by you in critical moments.

E

Elevate

Elevate your value. Position yourself as indispensable, control the narrative around your impact, and negotiate for the respect and recognition you deserve.

Each letter comes alive through real-world stories, actionable tools, and exercises that empower leaders at every level to handle high-pressure situations and create lasting impact.

After Susie's keynote or workshop, your audience will:

  • Approach high-stakes situations with confidence and clarity
  • Communicate their value and advocate for themselves and others
  • Build stronger teams and relationships—even in challenging environments
  • Influence outcomes and lead with presence and intention
  • Elevate their careers, their organizations, and their unique value
  • Accelerate your professional development
  • Increase your influence in and outside your organization
