Communication: The Key to Becoming a Champion! Construction Champions Podcast 2-74 Susan Young

In this episode of the Construction Champions podcast, host Ron Nussbaum interviews Susan Young, a communication expert who has been helping AEC professionals improve their presentation and networking skills for over 24 years. Susan shares her background, from being a radio news anchor and reporter to now running her own communication coaching and training business. She discusses what it takes to be a "construction champion" - someone who can effectively communicate their expertise, connect with clients, and grow their business. About Susan I work with A/E/C leaders who want to develop top tier communicators so that they grow careers, impact, and profits. Today, EVERYONE is in marketing and business. A/E/C firms want clear and confident project managers, superintendents, estimators, schedulers, and program managers to win trust and help close shortlisted interviews. BD meetings that go sideways are frustrating and expensive.
