Susan Dean

Our Founder

Hi, I’m Susan Dean.

I started my own publishing company because I wanted to share people’s stories and knowledge, as I truly believe that stories change lives.

Rewind to the beginning – I always knew I wanted to help others. After starting my career as a youth worker, I quickly learned the power of story. When someone heard about another’s achievements, it made them think, “Maybe I could do that.” It gave them hope.

I then became a coach, working with Dr John Gray, author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. People learnt so much from reading his book, and that sharing of knowledge inspired me. I thought, I need to share my story too. So, I did.

From this, my coaching business grew even faster. Handing out my book gave people the opportunity to get to know, like and trust me. This success made me want to help others do the same.

I have always listened to people’s stories, using tremendous empathy to empower others toward success. This has become my signature trait.

A huge part of my ‘why’ is giving back my time and resources. This has driven me to be a part of many wonderful ‘giving back’ projects, such as Buy1Give1, Rotary Club, BNI Australia and Hands Across the Water.

I am a life and business coach, workshop and training facilitator, publisher and entrepreneur. With my help, coaches, authors, mentors and many other business professionals have been able to share their knowledge and exponentially raise their profile, brand and business.

I am a visionary and always think of new ways business owners can level up in their business, so I have created additional products like audiobooks, online courses, journals, quote cards and more. I truly love what I do, and I’m excited to help you share about your passion.

“Writing a book, especially one that is partly autobiographical, is a huge task, not only in time but emotionally as well. The person you trust with your story needs to not only have your best interests at heart, but understand that your book is your ‘baby’. Susan and the team she has put together provide the utmost support and guidance, not only to get your book published but to be there for you every step of the way. If you have a book in you, she in the only choice!”
