ABOUT THE SPEAKER:

Susan G. Schwartz, PMP

Throughout her career, Susan Schwartz led a variety of corporate and government teams successfully through technology deployments and organizational changes which resulted in improved core operating procedures. She credits the cross-functional, global team productivity successes to leveraging the team members’ strengths within a culture that encouraged innovation and personal growth. Her constructive change tool box includes a variety of methods that combine process review, crucial conversations, and knowledge sharing strategies.

Ms. Schwartz is a certified coach and facilitator for the EQ-i 2.0 assessment tool. She uses the detailed feedback reports to help individuals recognize their strengths, define areas where they would like to develop their professional skill sets, and identify areas where their colleagues can balance engagement capabilities to create a high performing team.

She recently relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area from the Washington, DC metro area where she was an active board member with the PMIWDC chapter. In addition to her consulting work, she is an adjunct professor UC Berkeley. Last year, she published her first book, Creating a Greater Whole: A Project Manager‘s Guide to Becoming a Leader which unlocks the not-so-secret secrets of what aspiring managers need to become strong leaders. It’s practical “outcome-tested” strategies and thought-provoking questions offer individuals a tool to craft a personalized framework to help them learn how to help people come together to create something larger than themselves.
