"Susie's unique ability
to connect with troubled teens
allows her to share knowledge
and insight on how to
communicate with our orthodontic
patients (and teen family
members) more effectively and
compassionately."
"When Susie made her
closing comments after sharing
her presentation with us,
everyone in that room was silent
in awe of the message we had
just been given. Don't
miss an opportunity to see this
emotional and inspiring story as
told by the people who have
lived it."
Ken Fischer, DDS,
President, California
Association of
Orthodontists.
Susie spoke for the 2005
California
Association of Orthodontists'
(CAO) annual business meeting
Susie
Vanderlip is a compassionate
youth and family expert, author
and speaker with 15 years
experience informing,
encouraging and educating
professionals who work with and
whose clients are teenagers. She
comprehends at a profoundly deep
level how teenagers think and
feel and, as a result, how they
behave. By speaking to nearly
one million teens in school
assemblies, followed by in-depth
one-on-one conversations with
25,000 teens with personal
concerns, she has acquired a
level of insight into how teens
feel, think and, then, behave
that is rare in the adult world.
She has developed the ability to
communicate with teens and
is powerfully gifted in sharing
these insights and skills with
other adults through her LEGACY
OF HOPE theatrical program and
Workshops.
She
has a keen grasp of teenagers'
underlying motives, feelings and
pressures and infuses this
knowledge into her
dramatic, captivating, and
thought-provoking LEGACY
OF HOPE® which
she has toured across 47 states
and Canada. She is renown in
middle schools and high schools
as the assembly speaker who
dazzled the teens and got many
to open up for the first time
about feelings and fears. She
has also presented
innumerable programs to parents
and professionals giving them
renewed passion in their work
with teens and families as well
as concrete tools for better
teen-adult communication.
