I’m Susan Close—a keynote speaker, organizational thinking strategist, licensed mental health therapist, founder & CEO of Imagine Together Center, PLLC.

​

For more than two decades, I’ve listened to executives, managers, and employees talk candidly about what rarely gets said at work. Those conversations revealed a powerful pattern: we respond not only to what happens, but also to what we decide it means.

​

That insight became Inside the Space™—my practical framework for challenging assumptions, expanding perspective, and making more informed decisions without needing to have all the answers.

​

I bring curiosity, candor, humor, and a distinctly human perspective to complex ideas. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me cheering on my two kids, spending time with friends, playing tennis, going to the theatre, or reading and discussing big ideas—often all in the same week.
