We had done a lot on diversity and we needed something different. Storytelling gave us a way to look diversity straight in the eye and have a powerful and inclusive conversation. Susan O’Halloran is a master storyteller and the speaker you want to hire to get real world results!
Katy Lowe Schneider, Associate Dean of Students, Hanover College

We had Susan O’Halloran speak at our Fall 2011 Orientation Program prior to the start of classes.  Her audience included full and part-time faculty, support staff and administrators. Her comfortable style and obvious wealth of knowledge was very well received by this diverse audience. Without placing blame or making people uncomfortable, Susan was able to identify how our own experiences and perceptions lead us to act in less than productive ways.  A week later, people are still talking about the session and applying what they learned to their own behaviors and thoughts.

Sue O’Halloran has brought a dynamic piece to Elgin Community College’s Cultural Competency workshops as a facilitator/educator.  Her unique storytelling capabilities bring an aspect of real life to our programs and she creates an atmosphere where participants can become comfortable with the uncomfortable.  Sue’s vibrant personality shines through her presentation style and her knowledge/experience in the field of diversity, respect and inclusion is evident in the material she presents.  This combination of talent is representative of what it takes to be an educator in this field.
