The person behind PRÉSENCE.
Hi, I’m Suzana.
I’ve always been fascinated by the space between who we intend to be and how other people actually experience us. We can know exactly what we want to say and still struggle to say it. We can be capable and prepared but not feel confident.

PRÉSENCE brings those pieces together.
Business

Real-World Experience
Years of navigating communication, stakeholders, difficult conversations, training, and complex decisions.
