Susan has an extraordinary gift for listening at a profound level when other people are expressing their thoughts--whether orally or in writing--and for pinpointing the best way to frame or structure these ideas to move that person’s thinking forward. Whenever I feel stuck or unable to articulate clearly where I am going with my teaching or writing, Susan is the first person I call. Not only does she help me clarify my ideas for my intended audience, but she also helps me to see my thoughts from angles I would not have considered on my own.  Susan is a visionary thinker, who is able to quickly grasp the larger picture, but she also is a generous teacher who gladly extends this gift to facilitate and benefit others.

Susan Danoff’s storytelling institute stands out from my experience with professional development as the most powerful and illuminating course that I have ever taken.  Indeed, it has shifted the way that I think about language and making meaning with language.
