How to Pivot From Corporate to Entrepreneurship With Ecosystems, Collective Learning, and Fearless Commitment Featuring Suzanne Mau-Asam

After more than 20 years in the corporate world, Suzanne Mau-Asam has seen it all—the good, the bad, and the “we’re not sure what’s happening here.” But here’s the thing: she doesn’t stop at quick fixes or standard solutions. As a sociologist, certified somatic coach, learning and development specialist, and embodied leadership expert, Suzanne brings a level of depth that most programs don’t even touch.

In today’s episode of Smashing the Plateau, you will learn how to navigate the leap from corporate professional to thriving entrepreneur and community builder.

Suzanne and I discuss:

• How Suzanne’s career evolved from hospitality to sociology and beyond [01:59]
• Why she started her business and a community simultaneously [03:41]
• The importance of “going all in” as an entrepreneur [07:36]
• The challenges and rewards of building a business from scratch [08:31]
• How to pivot your strategy and offerings as your business grows [09:36]
• Creating ecosystems and multiple revenue streams for business health [18:21]
• The power of collective intelligence and learning in community [20:00]
• Why you should “move before you’re ready” and seek out supportive communities [21:46]
