Suzie's background is as varied as her audiences...from administrative secretary to Television Talk Show Host, to 20 years in radio. She has hobnobbed with movie stars and politicians, interviewed the great and the "near" great. She has made hundreds of commercials, done musical comedy and motion pictures. She has been fired, been broke, been disappointed, been a petrified expectant mother at 40 years old and lived her life with a passion for learning not only how to be better, but to see things differently.

Suzie received one of the longest standing ovations on record from the National Speakers Association when she spoke to 2,500 of her peers at their convention in Palm Springs, California. At the time they invited her to speak, she didn't even know who or what the organization was. As a matter of fact, she didn't even have a brochure or a business card. When the phone rang, she answered it. She was grounded in the philosophy that if someone seeks you out, it must be meant for you to go! Today, she still subscribes to that theory. She loves to go wherever she's sent!

Suzie Humphreys is about saying "yes" when it would be easier to say no! She is about teaching others how to motivate themselves and to see life through the eyes of optimism rather than fear and self doubt. She is about believing that you can do anything you want to do and enjoy getting there, heartbreak and all! Whether it is the challenge of change or acceptance...in relationships or situations...in the home or on the job...Suzie Humphreys helps people to rise to the occasion with all the vigor and enthusiasm that living this wonderful life demands.

"Life is What Happens To You While You're Making Other Plans"
You'll go with Suzie through five years of television, hob-knobbing the "famous"...being fired...being broke ... getting divorced... getting married... and having her only child at age 40. You'll hear about the riotous mistake on her first day as a traffic reporter that brings uproarious laughter from the audience and cements Suzie's success in radio for 20 years! You'll take a roller coaster ride through her failures at breakneck speed, only to discover at the end of the hip those very same failures turned out to be the "very best things that ever happened to her". They served as the firm foundation for her philosophy that IT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENS TO US IN LIFE THAT MATTERS, INSTEAD, IT IS HOW WE LOOK AT IT!

"I Can Do That!"
Suzie has a way... with laughter, poignant stories and jump-start inspiration... of confirming that fear doesn't have to be the motivating force that guides us through out journey of life ... that fear that makes us stay in careers that no longer bring us joy, and keeps us from reaching for those dreams that constantly swirl in our imagination ... fear of failure ... fear of success. Why do we become 'afraid' to say YES to life? Because we 'doubt" that we can measure up to the assignment! We don't move forward immediately, because we dunk we need to wait until the time is perfect. We say we will One Day! One Day comes and goes and we are left behind regretting that it was not life that passed us by at all ... rather our decision to LIVE IT! Suzie helps us to see that "the time is already perfect" for whatever we want to do...all we have to do is JUST DO IT!

"Please Pick Up After Yourself, Your Mother Doesn't Work Here"
It all boils down to relationships! Suzie shares the most significant of hers and frankly tells how she learned to focus what is 'right and good' about others ... rather that what she had heretofore perceived as 'wrong and bad'. We all have 'those people" in our lives ... the ones who are in out face and know how to "push our buttons'. We meet her delightful and strong-willed mother, the one she couldn't get along with for 34 years! --Her husband whom she adores ... (she calls him John Wayne). There is the homeless woman, who through a brief encounter, awakened Suzie's realization that ... Things can happen to you... Things can happen, around you ... But the only thing that really counts is ... WHAT HAPPENS IN YOU.

"Suzie: Where Is Your Faith?"
When, in the grip of fear, anger, or depression, all of us long to reach out or up to someone or something that might pull us out of that black hole of despair. Suzie shares her own stories and offers comfort and hope by revealing that what we look for outwardly can, in reality, be found within. How to build that limitless reserve of strength and use in any situation is Suzie's focus in this presentation. Strongly recommended for spouse programs or women's conferences. SUZIE: WHERE IS YOUR FAITH? is funny, yes ... but very deep in its content and message to look beyond the obvious.

"Listen For The Laughter"
Finding the humor in the midst of desperation and anger is not an easy task. Sometimes we are able to see it years later... in looking back. How wonderful to see it during the chaos, "Listen for the Laughter" is about finding light in the middle of the dark. It is about shifting the perception that causes us to be afraid or angry or discontented. As always Suzie's stories are probably yours told in a different voice.
