Susanna Goulder’s brain-based techniques eliminate productivity-killers so you and your team can Soar to Success!
Susanna’s research in brain science began after she underwent surgery for a brain tumor in 1994. When Susanna’s level of productivity was reduced to a barely functional level as a result of chronic cluster migraines, an after-effect of the surgery, she had to find a solution to her productivity challenges, or she risked losing everything. Susanna explored the cutting-edge discoveries of the brain’s ability to change and applied research-based neuroscience processes to her health, business, and life.
These strategies and tools from neuroscience not only worked – they were game changers!
Susanna Became Her Own Lab Rat.
Does this really work? Susanna was put in a position to test the strategies when she had HUGE deadlines all converge within a period of four days. She said to herself, “I’ve been educating leaders and audiences about how to supercharge productivity. Now I am my OWN lab rat.” The experiment: Could she maintain peak performance with deadlines AND an overwhelming amount of work? She said to herself, “Susanna, if you can accomplish all this then there will be no question. This stuff works.”
It worked!
She got it all done, performed at her peak, and made no mistakes. No mistakes!
Susanna has been teaching Get Brainiac Smart™ techniques since 2003. Currently, she is getting cutting-edge neuroscience research from David Rock’s NeuroLeadership Institute and will receive her Foundations of NeuroLeadership certification in January 2019.
Susanna’s Unique Perspective
Susanna was living her dream, working in the glamourous, high-energy film and television industry in New York City. She was a set decorator for movies, television, and Broadway and is best known as the original set decorator for the highly successful series, “Sex & the City.” Plus, she owned and operated a prop and set-dressing rental house for film, television, and theatre.
Imagine trying to serve a high-profile clientele and still function, when a diagnosis of a brain tumor, changes your life forever.
Successful surgery corrected her physical issues, but a side-effect of the surgery appeared years later when she woke up with a screaming headache – that didn’t go away. Eventually, she was diagnosed with chronic intractable cluster migraines. The pain was debilitating and limited her ability to function.
“I had these horrific headaches, where I couldn’t even get out of bed and function as a normal human being.”
To say she was overwhelmed, on a daily basis, was an understatement. She was trying to run two businesses. In addition, her ninety-year-old mother depended on her, as did her family. Add on the daily guilt and stress of not being able to be there for everyone and everything as she used to be.
Her health issues stopped her cold in her tracks.
Susanna was determined to find a solution to maximize her productivity or lose her business. She had to develop a new way of working. As functional imaging has permitted direct investigation of the brain and strategies that draw upon higher cognitive processes, she found results.
Susanna Brings It As A Speaker
What do you do when you can’t focus, get distracted, can’t remember like you used to, and can’t come up with the answers you need as quick as you need them? Susanna found these forward-thinking methods to be so successful for her, that she wants to spread the word so you can benefit too. Today she uses her experience in neuroscience training, plus her captivating story-telling style as a speaker, to help leaders, managers, and their teams enable focus, derail distractions, improve memory retention, and get “in the zone” at will, with evidence-based strategies that are proven to improve productivity and performance.
Get Brainiac Smart™ Leadership Coaching
Susanna’s unique coaching process helps leaders manage overwhelm, think strategically, prioritize and delegate more effectively, and perform at their peak. Coaching with Susanna helps build powerful new behaviors that lead to positive, transformational changes that have a ripple effect on the entire organization.
By adapting these neuroscience processes, Susanna has prevailed and “Soared to Success” and helps her clients excel as well.
If you had asked Susanna when she was young if she would become a Neuro-Productivity™ expert, she would have laughed it off. Her life experiences, leadership skills, organizational tools, and work in the entertainment industry, all created a strong foundation for Susanna’s teaching. Her bold career change led to her mission to help people and organizations to increase productivity and improve well-being in the workplace.
Susanna is a visiting faculty member of the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland. She sits on the board of the National Speakers Association of Ohio, and previously sat on the boards of the Cleveland Chapter of the International Coaches Federation, and Toastmasters International.
Susanna lives in Sagamore Hills, Ohio. For her downtime, she enjoys hiking with her husband, step-children, and grandchildren. She has an unquenchable hunger for chocolate which is a brain booster!
