Speaker
Known for her insight, clarity, and humor, Susan is as comfortable giving a 60-minute keynote to an audience of thousands as she is leading a day-long offsite for a small group. Whether in talks at Procter & Gamble, Google London, Google Paris, the Harvard Medical School Mindfulness and Psychotherapy conference or in interviews with Oprah, Ann Curry, Katie Couric, the New York Times, O Magazine, Redbook, and others, Susan’s mission is to teach everyone how to open up, give deeply, and create a life of wisdom, compassion, and courage.
“Susan Piver consistently offers what so many of us seek: A generous, caring, loving teacher, someone with an open heart and a clear mind, eager to help us find our own way forward.”
