Have you ever experienced a little voice inside your head trying to tell you something? Did you ever wonder where that voice was coming from? Have you ever listened to it? Well, today’s guest on Uncorking a Story, Suzanne Roske, ignored that voice for a long time until it shouted at her. When she finally did listen, her world changed radically for the better.
Meet Suzanne Roske
Suzanne Roske is a leadership coach, taco and mezcal enthusiast, public speaker, and now an author. For 25 years, she was the picture of objective success, a partner at a global management consulting firm guiding Fortune 500 companies through business and team transformations. And then she embarked on her biggest transformation yet—her own. Roske stepped away from her corporate life and into an adult gap year in Mexico which she chronicled in her memoir, I'm Supposed to Be Doing This: An Adult Gap Year.
Key Topics:
- Key insight into her life from her grandfather at the tender age of eight.
- What she learned by working in her family’s hardware store.
- Advice her colleagues told her on how to make partner in a global management consulting firm.
- Why Suzanne decided to move her family to Mexico and take an adult gap year.
- Why she felt compelled to chronicle her experiences in a book and the path she took to getting it published.
- Why it’s so important to listen to that little voice inside your head.
“You have to be brave with your life so others can be brave with theirs.” — Suzanne Roske
