Description

This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Susanne Biro, an executive coach with over two decades of experience helping CEOs and senior leaders transform not just how they work, but how they live.

As the author of This Could Be Everything and creator of the Inner Life Leadership approach, Susanne teaches that no amount of external success can compensate for the absence of inner fulfillment, self-respect, and self-awareness. Her work invites us to rethink leadership entirely and not as a role bestowed from the outside, but as a practice cultivated from within.

In this insightful and deeply human conversation, Susanne shares how tools like her Self-Inquiry Tool (SIT) help reveal the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that quietly shape our behavior and impact others. She explains why real leadership begins with the “Power of I” and the courage to own our experience, our choices, and the way we show up. From this place of accountability and genuine presence, trust becomes not something we demand but something we embody. Susanne’s message is clear: the quality of our inner life determines the quality of our relationships, our work, and ultimately, our impact.

Together, Sam and Susanne explore how leaders, and all of us, can create a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. They discuss why developing others is the highest expression of leadership and why that level of service is only possible when we have first committed to our own deep self-development. This episode is a powerful reminder that transformation starts within and that doing the inner work is not only essential, but profoundly liberating.
