Susan McPherson is the cupid of corporate responsibility–inexhaustibly connecting good people with one another so they can do great things. Whether hosting a panel on that status of refugees, writing on the most cutting edge communications strategies for Fast Company, or serving on one of half a dozen boards, she brings infectious enthusiasm and studied strategic thinking.
Susan is admittedly small, but mighty on a stage–enlightening audiences about the role that storytelling and collaboration plays in pursuit of social change. She is increasingly called on to help the private sector understand how they can meaningfully step in to solve some of the most pressing issues of our time. Within minutes of meeting her, you can feel that you are in the presence of an uncommon generosity so rare and vital for our times.
As the population and workforce continue to grow more diverse, companies will need to focus on creating company cultures, experiences and products that speak to a wide range of identities and perspectives.
Whether it’s a single issue–equal pay, paid leave, minority inclusion, mental health, criminal justice reform, or the many issues related to climate change–or a suite of issues, be sure to take on something true to your values and commit to bringing about change.
