In addition to her duties as an educator, she is also a senior advisor to the Brunswick Group, a CEO advisory firm. Welch is a frequent contributor to various TV programs, including regular appearances on CNBC, The Today Show, and even contributes to The Wall Street Journal.

Welch began her career as a crime reporter for The Miami Herald in 1981.

Independently, Welch authored the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller "10-10-10: A Life-Transforming Idea." The concept behind this book originated from her column in O: The Oprah Magazine. Welch's most recent book, "Becoming You: Crafting the Authentic Life You Want and Need," is set to be published by Harper Business in May 2025.

Appointed as a faculty member at NYU Stern School of Business in 2023, Welch developed and now teaches the acclaimed class, “Becoming You: Crafting the Authentic Life You Want and Need.” Additionally, she instructs "Developing Managerial Skills," and consults for the school’s Leadership Accelerator.

Future of Leadership: The Secret Behind the World’s Most Collaborative Cultures

With five generations currently in the workforce, leaders are faced with the difficult challenge of building connectivity across their organizations. In this vibrant and memorable experience, Suzy Welch shares what it takes for leaders to create driven, collaborative, and cohesive teams prepared to succeed long-term. Your audience will be delighted to learn that the secret to a more connected culture already exists within their own organizations.

As a Senior Advisor with the Brunswick Group and a professor at NYU’s Stern School of Business, Suzy has unprecedented access to both Fortune 500 CEOs and the future leaders of the workforce. Told through relatable stories from the front lines of both camps, Suzy shows how the world’s top companies are bridging the gap between these often-disconnected generations.

Her goal is simple: To send your audience back into the world with actionable steps, confidence, and the motivation to become the leaders, collaborators, and communicators that will take your company to new heights.

The Three R’s: A Framework to Thrive in the Future of Work

By 2025, the World Economic Forum predicts that automation will displace over 85 million jobs. More than 50% of workers will require upskilling to prepare for changing roles. The rise of remote work will create fierce competition, and those without the appropriate skills will not have a home in the new economy.

But it’s not all doom and gloom, says #1 New York Times bestselling author Suzy Welch. In this eye-opening yet encouraging conversation, Suzy reveals a playbook to take charge of your career and thrive in this fast-paced future of work.

Filled with authentic and humorous stories from her own journey, this transformational experience delivers innovative tactics that will leave you feeling ready to take action.

You will learn:

How to build a resilient mindset that prepares you to grow and adapt no matter what life throws your way. How to identify the skills you need to level up and incorporate learning into your day. The fastest way to build a rich network of relationships that will attract new opportunities, giving you an edge in both work and life. Using The Three R’s – Resilience, Reskilling, and Relationships – Suzy provides a powerful framework that you can apply to accelerate your career and improve your life.

Wait, What Should I Be When I Grow Up (Again)?

No one is going to disagree when you say these are crazy times, right? And the truth is, we are all trying to navigate a world which seems unprecedented in its lack of precedent. One consulting firm dubbed this “The Era of Permacrisis,” and along with the “ouch” that induces, it doesn’t feel wrong. Place in the middle of this, then, the challenge of creating a meaningful career – for those in your organization, and yourself. Drawing on the methodology developed for her immensely popular business school class, “Becoming You: Forging the Authentic Life You Want and Need,” Suzy Welch offers a new and positive way of thinking about how, when, and where we work.

Becoming You: Crafting the Authentic Life You Want and Need

This empowering talk introduces the Becoming You methodology, a transformative approach to uncovering your true self and aligning your career with your authentic purpose. Developed over 15 years of research and teaching at NYU, this framework helps you answer, “What should I do with my life?” by identifying your “Area of Transcendence”—the intersection of your values, unique aptitudes, and economically viable interests.

Through inspiring stories and practical tools, this session will guide you to bridge the gap between the life you’re living and the life you’re meant to live, empowering you to wake up each day with purpose and excitement.
