About the Event
Join executive coach, entrepreneur, and author Sue Heilbronner for a candid and engaging conversation to celebrate the release of her new book, (Hachette Balance, September 9).
In this special Chicago launch event, Sue sits down with Jim Dethmer—renowned leadership coach and co-author of The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership—to explore how self-awareness, presence, and intention can transform the way we sell. Together, they’ll unpack the surprising overlaps between conscious leadership and what Sue calls passionate ambivalence—a powerful mindset that helped her grow her coaching practice from zero to $1M in six years.
With this approach, you can align your work with your greatest strengths, attract clients you admire, and stay centered—regardless of the outcome of any given sale.
Sue will share stories and tools from the book and leave you with practical insights you can apply immediately, including how to:
- Identify and shift unconscious commitments
- Unpack limiting beliefs
- Say “no” with confidence
- Navigate pricing and boundaries with clarity
G2 and its co-founder and CEO Godard Abel will host a book chat featuring Jim Dethmer and Sue Heilbronner. With that cast, the evening promises to be engaging, edifying, and probably just the right amount of provocative.
Whether you're a solopreneur, consultant, creative, or startup founder, this is a unique opportunity to learn from two of the most respected voices in personal and leadership growth. Come ready to engage and redefine your relationship to selling.
