​Susan's Table
How to Build a Life of Meaning and Connection,
One Person at a Time.
My mother, Susan, had two sacred rituals: a quiet coffee to think, and a shared table to connect. She knew a secret we've mostly forgotten: the most magical, 'anti-generic' moments in life happen when we truly take care of the person right in front of us.
​
We are searching for our path—a career with purpose, a life of meaning. We're often told to have a five-year plan or to build a personal brand, but we skip the most important step.
​
This talk is not about a grand strategy; it's about a simple, powerful philosophy called 'Elevate One.' It's a guide to building your life and career on a foundation of authentic human connection. Using the lessons learned from 'Susan's Table,' you'll discover how to become an 'Architect of Belonging' in your own world. You will leave with the tools to find your 'bring lights,' share your own stories, and build a successful life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
