Executive coach Susanne Biro (Vancouver, BC) gets radically honest about leadership, self-doubt, and what entrepreneurship really looks like—sometimes 11 p.m., laptop open, tears flowing… and doing it anyway. We dig into “having your own back,” doing scary things before you feel ready, building a reputation that earns investment, and why the inside-out game (how you feel daily) drives sustainable success.
In this episode:
- From dancing duck and barbershop lessons to coaching CEOs of billion-dollar companies
- How to build confidence through action (not waiting to “feel” confident)
- Asking for investment: crafting the business case + earning it with your reputation
- Leading high-stakes rooms with candor and EQ
- The truth of entrepreneurship: resilience, risk, and that 11 p.m. moment
- Inside-out success: joy, health, and habits that compound
- Susanne’s upcoming book “This Could Be Everything” and her Deep Fear podcast/app

Get to know Susanne:
Susanne Biro has spent over two decades as a confidant to CEOs and C-suite executives, helping them confront what she calls 'Deep Fear' – the anxious thoughts that secretly limit even the most accomplished leaders. A TEDx speaker and author of This Could Be Everything, she transforms these hidden anxieties into a catalyst for authentic leadership through her signature Inner Life Leadership approach.
With 24+ years of global experience coaching over 200 CEOs and thousands of senior leaders, Susanne specializes in emotional intelligence, leadership effectiveness, and whole-life success.
She understands that leadership at the highest levels is demanding, exhausting, and often lonely. Through her signature approach, Inner Life Leadership, she helps leaders harness the power of self-awareness, because what happens inside always shapes what happens out there.
