“I help organizations develop influential leaders who understand how to communicate value in corporate environments—so strong work translates into trust, decision-making influence, and measurable business impact.”

Susan M. Barber

Leadership Visibility & Influence Authority

Author of The Visibility Factor and Your Journey to Visibility Workbook

Host of The Visibility Factor Podcast

Former Fortune 500 IT Director

I help organizations and high-performing leaders close the visibility gap—so strong work earns trust, shapes decisions, and prepares leaders for what’s next.

A former corporate leader with over 25+ years of leadership experience in Sales, Supply Chain and Information Technology at Kraft Heinz before I left to start my own business.

My mission is focused on spreading this visibility message to help leaders learn how to show their value and be seen for their true talent!

Organizations Don’t Struggle Because
They Lack Capable Leaders


They struggle because their strongest talent often goes under-recognized, under-utilized, or unheard.
This is especially true in complex corporate environments where priorities compete and decisions move fast.

When leaders can’t clearly articulate value or influence across functions:
– Decisions slow down
– Talent disengages or leaves
– Succession pipelines weaken
– The loudest voices win—not the strongest ideas


This isn’t a confidence issue.

It’s a business impact issue.

My Work is Grounded in Corporate Reality—Not Theory

My work is grounded in real-world corporate leadership experience.

I don’t teach leaders to be louder.

I help them be clearer, more strategic, and more effective in corporate environments, so their value is recognized where decisions are made.

As a former Fortune 500 IT Director, I understand how organizations actually operate—how leaders are evaluated, how influence is built, and how easily strong work can be overlooked when it isn’t framed in business terms.

Do Differently

Everything I deliver is practical, business-focused, and grounded in organizational realities.

Testimonials

Trusted by Leaders Navigating Complexity

I’ve worked with leaders across industries who are technically strong, deeply capable and ready for greater influence.

They don’t need motivation.

They need language, clarity, and strategic visibility that aligns with how decisions are made.


“Working with Susan was invaluable. She helped me at a pivotal time in my career and helped me transition not only into the corporate setting but into a better, more skilled leader. Getting to know Susan was a blessing for me as a leader who was new to the corporate environment. She shared her wisdom and listening ear. She acknowledged my talents and helped me leverage them to find a go forward plan for each of the areas we discussed. She has a terrific background with a ton of depth while also exhibiting a great deal of empathy.”
Lori BentonSenior VP – Learning, Culture and Engagement
“Sue helped me with every step of the process and I left the 6 months with an amazing resume, updated LinkedIn and most importantly – more confidence and the understanding of what I have to offer to a future employer. I would recommend Sue to anyone who is willing to invest in themselves and do the work!”
SARAH CHARLAND Operations Manager
“I have become more confident in how I showcase my progress and accomplishments.  I have been able to get through some very difficult challenges with your help.  I know that I could not have done that without your help and guidance through those situations.  In the year that we have worked together, I can definitely track my growth as a visible leader with your coaching.  I did all these hard things that I never thought I could!”
 
Melissa paduaNorth American Sales Lead
Working with Sue has helped my professional development tremendously. I have appreciated guidance in the following areas:
how to highlight my team’s work and goal accomplishment, how to highlight personal accomplishments in a clear and concise manner in order to build a career and succession plan, how to manage through tough situations and ensure team culture remains positive and productive in the face of major organizational change and navigating an unprecedented industry merger between the two largest revenue pest control companies in the world. Sue’s insight and experience dealing with major mergers was invaluable in both leadership and business acumen.
