Susan De La Vergne

English major and high tech manager -- and although some think it’s an unlikely career path, Susan couldn’t agree less. She’s a thought-provoking speaker who knows from experience that studying the liberal arts is how you become a business leader. Today, she trains engineers and tech professionals to be effective presenters and writers. "Effective Technical Presentations" is a one-day workshop aimed at the unusual challenges technical presenters face (how to prepare and deliver high content material to audiences that are very technical and not-so-technical). She also speaks to students, faculty, career advisors, and hiring managers about why and how liberal arts students are exceptionally well-prepared for careers in business and leadership--real jobs with real incomes. In addition to being a speaker, consultant and veteran corporate manager, She is the author of You CAN'T Manage Time as well numerous articles and a member of the National Speakers Association.
