When I started at the Dr. Susan Love Foundation in February 2015, I was SO intimated by her. This was a woman who had numerous New York Times best-selling books, a ..read more

Her vision was clear and sharp. And, she was already a celebrity; the Foundation flourished based on her name, her work, her renown. I was brought in to analyze the financials, cultivate connections, and increase name recognition for the organization. So we each had our assignments: Dr. Love continued to travel and attend conferences as a speaker and as an active participant ..read more
