Welcome to…

Suzanne Uhl, PhD

Author • Speaker • Communication Expert

I am a communication expert, offering advanced training in speaking, mindset, and embracing individual  and collective growth.

I collaborate. I encourage. I uncover. I unshackle. The journey is yours…I cannot wait to watch you grow

Whether you are a well practised speaker looking to uplevel or you wrestle with deep fear and phobias about Public Speaking, I can help.

I have wrestled with my own demons and know the struggle. I won’t pretend to never be anxious about speaking because, sometimes, I just am. But I am not defined by fear; in fact, I have learned to convert it into energy that fuels a dynamic delivery. I am trained to help.

If you have aspirations about larger stages (online, a TED stage, global platforms), I believe I can help. I have spoken internationally (England, Poland & Italy); I have been a guest on varied social media platforms and have taught online for decades…and I recently gave my own TEDx talk (after being a TEDx coach for years).

“I had the privilege of working with Dr. Suzanne Uhl on a TedTalk presentation on military sexual trauma. Her assistance was invaluable … What Dr. Uhl provided to my presentation was polish and professionalism.  Frankly, because of her help, I was able to deliver one of my best talks. I strongly encourage anyone seeking assistance with presentations, sales, or starting a new business to seek out her help. ”

The struggle is real, but you don’t have to go it alone. Dr. Uhl’s book Silence the Saboteur is an encouraging and accessible look into the presence and psychology of fear and the plagues of uncertainty and doubt that drag all of us into the dark from time to time. Her insights and personal experience help to illuminate a path forward in a way all readers can put into action and benefit from….”
