About Guest: Susan Payton

In 2015 Susan created a community for women who wanted to start their own business. It was the beginning of an exciting new chapter in her story. Telling her story to 1,400 business owners in the community was one of the most powerful things she’d ever done. The response from people who resonated with her story and felt connected to her as a result of hearing it was phenomenal. She knew there and then that she wanted to help other people tell theirs. She now helps passionate business owners to craft stories and narratives that launch businesses, build brands and deeply connect with their target market. In a world where it is getting harder and harder to stand out from the crowd, it’s critical that you can clearly articulate your value and speak to the right people, at the right time, with a simple message and a great story.
