Bring Real Change to Your Audience—with Laughter, Insight, and Heart
If you’re looking for a speaker who shows up fully prepared, gets rave reviews, and actually makes complex business concepts fun to learn—you’re in the right place.
Hi, I’m Susan Gunn. I’ve been speaking professionally for over 30 years at conferences, study clubs, workshops, and private meetings across the country (and beyond). I’ve even been told I can make QuickBooks entertaining—and that’s saying something.
Whether your audience needs to understand how to protect their practice from internal theft, get serious about financial organization, or finally “get” the business side of what they do, I’m here to help spark that lightbulb moment… with just the right amount of sass and a lot of substance.
Your Event, Your Way
I don’t do cookie-cutter. Every event is customized for your audience’s unique needs and learning style—whether it’s a 45-minute keynote or a full-day workshop. My goal? To make your job easier, your audience smarter, and your event unforgettable (in the best way).
Presentation Options
-
Keynotes: Up to 2 hours
-
Conventions & Conferences: 1.5 to 3 hours

Study Clubs: Up to 2 hours

All sessions are tailored for your audience’s level of knowledge, preferred format, and meeting goals. Need a mix of presentations? Let’s talk.
Topics That Make a Difference
From embezzlement prevention and financial systems to QuickBooks sanity and office accountability, I deliver practical takeaways that can be implemented the very next day—topics that hit home for dentists, teams, and owners alike.
And if you’re looking for someone who can speak powerfully—and authentically—about ethics, you’ve found her. Ethics isn’t just a checkbox for CE credit. It’s the heartbeat of every trustworthy practice. My ethics presentations challenge the status quo, spotlight real-life situations, and inspire professionals to lead with integrity, even when it’s not easy. It’s one of my most requested topics, and for good reason.
I also speak on caregiving, based on my personal journey of walking alongside aging loved ones. It’s heartfelt, honest, and deeply connecting for any audience in the thick of caring for someone they love.
AV Requirements
I keep it simple. I just ask for:
-
A projection system with HDMI capability
-
Wireless lapel mic (so I can roam a bit and talk with my hands like a true Texan)
-
Audio patch for my presentations that include video or sound
Fees & Travel
Fees vary depending on:
-
Length of the presentation
-
Travel time and speaking days
-
Whether you prefer an all-inclusive fee (honorarium + travel, lodging, and expenses)
I’m happy to work with you to make it as easy as possible. Just ask.
A Note from Me to You
After decades of speaking and hundreds of audiences, I still get excited every time I step on a stage.
Why?
Because I’ve seen lives and practices transformed from just one session. I’ve seen the a-ha moments in real time—and I’ve read the evaluations that say “I wish we’d had more time with her.” (That never gets old.)
It’s an honor to be trusted with your stage and your audience’s attention. I never take that lightly—and I’d love to bring that same energy and impact to your next event.
Let’s connect and see how we can make your meeting one they’ll be talking about long after the closing session.
