Meet the Author
Susan L. Farrell uses her love of learning to inspire women to learn about themselves. She urges them to empower themselves to achieve the lives they desire. Susan draws upon her experiences as a leader, manager, consultant, coach, trainer, and teacher to provide ideas to encourage women to think about what they do, why they do it, and do they want to change.
Her first career out of college was with a national health care company. She quickly moved from the facility level to division, field, and corporate levels. When she left she had been an executive director with national responsibilities for several years.
As owner of SLF Consulting & Training, LLC, Susan assisted clients with the challenges of combining customer satisfaction, cost control, and regulatory compliance. Her business acumen made her a sought-after speaker which led to a successful speaking career. This, in turn, led to her current writing career on self-empowerment for women.
A normal extension of a love of learning is a love of teaching. Susan has accomplished this in various positions through teaching and training her employees, co-workers, associates, and customers. She has taught as an adjunct instructor at business colleges. She has informally coached employees, associates, and friends in advancing professionally and personally. She now assists others through her books, blogs, and newsletter.
She is the author of “Don’t Act Like Prey! A Woman’s Guide to Self-Empowerment,” a book on respectful assertiveness as an option to passive or aggressive behavior. “52 Weeks of Wisdom, A Woman’s Guide to Self-Empowerment,” Volumes 1, 2, and 3 are designed to provide ideas to encourage women to think about what they do, why they do it, and do they want to change. “3 Good Choices: Change It, Accept It, or Leave It; A Woman’s Guide to Self-Empowerment” discusses how to make positive choices in all aspects of life.
Susan lives in rural Wisconsin with her husband and three cats.
