The Speaker Your Audience Will Thank You For. And Never Forget.
Author of The Art of Everyday Negotiation Without Manipulation, TEDx speaker, and host of the Get What You Want podcast, I teach audiences the one skill no one taught them. How to advocate for themselves with confidence, clarity, and zero manipulation.
Partners Susie Has Worked With
Every leader wants their people to speak up, drive results, and fully realize their potential—but
even high performers often hold back in high-stakes moments. When your audience learns to think like a negotiator and use their voice with confidence, they become the visible,
influential leaders your organization needs to thrive. Susie Tomenchok’s programs equip your team with practical tools to advocate for themselves and others, creating a measurable impact that lasts long after your event.
That's why I developed the RAISE™ Framework.
Think of it as a GPS for high-stakes moments, built on sound negotiation strategy.
R
Recognize
Recognize high-stakes moments and regulate your emotions so you can pause, zoom out, and respond strategically.
A
Align
Align with the other side's interests to create leverage and position yourself as the solution.
I
Insert
Insert your value by clearly expressing your contributions and expertise so people know why you matter.
S
Support
Support others by building relationships early so you have advocates when it counts.
E
Elevate
Elevate your impact by positioning yourself as indispensable and shaping the narrative around your value.
Each letter comes alive through real-world stories, actionable tools, and exercises that equip leaders at every level to handle high-pressure moments 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
What Audiences Had to Say
The Perfect "Chok-Talk" for Every Occasion
Built for high-impact stages and real-world leadership moments, these engagements are designed to meet your audience where they are—and move them forward.
Perfect for Leadership Keynotes (both in-person or virtual), Corporate Retreats, Executive Offsites, Interactive Workshops, Emerging Leader Programs, Women's Leadership, and ERG Events. Each session is tailored to your team, your challenges, and your goals.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all talk. Every engagement begins with a focused discovery call to understand what matters most to your organization. From there, the content is built to resonate—clear, direct, and immediately useful. Your leaders won’t just feel inspired in the moment—they’ll leave with practical tools, sharper decision-making frameworks, and the confidence to take action right away.
Let's Do This, Together.
I believe every leader has untapped potential waiting for the right moment—and the right framework—to emerge. My mission is to help your audience recognize their value, build meaningful relationships, and lead courageously, even when the pressure is on. If you’re ready to give your people a practical, empowering roadmap for high-stakes leadership, I’d be honored to partner with you.
