"When I took Susan Vernicek's Identity 5 Workshop, I knew it would be a fun, inspiring night out. But, it was SO much more than that! I answered questions about myself that I hadn't stopped to think about in a long while. To be honest, it was difficult to focus solely on me - I'm a wife, a mother, a daughter, a friend, a sister - and usually when I think about what I appreciate or love, it is the joy that comes from being any one of those things! But, to be forced to look inward, I hadn't verbalized in quite some time some of the quirks I've grown to accept, or the traits that I appreciate! And, being surrounded and supported by other women in the Identity 5 Workshop made it even more powerful! It felt good to share openly and hear other women's stories! I think every woman deserves to take time to rediscover herself, and joining the workshop is beyond an indulgence, it is absolutely necessary! I had a refreshed perspective on my 'identity'."

“Susan is incredibly passionate about Identity and its mission to inspire women to Accept. Appreciate. Achieve. She shares personal experiences with her readers that give Identity a warm and friendly appeal - it makes her and her magazine relatable for every type of woman. She works hard to deliver a worthwhile experience for her readers through her online magazine, as well as in person through her book tour workshops. She's an excellent networker, accommodating to work for, and looks to promote not just her business, but her sponsors' and advertisers’ companies/products as well.”

The best way to describe Susan is that she is a go getter! Her drive and passion is unbelievable! She is such a hard working woman, and in a lot of ways, I look up to her. Everything is looked at in a positive way through her eyes. There are no barriers and every "block" in the road just gives her more drive to push through it. I have had the honor of working with her for the online magazine and now with the Identity 5 Tour, so I've been able to see how Susan makes every idea that pops into her head HAPPEN! She took her time to train me at the pace I needed because I have never been very good with computers. With her positive attitude and her patience, I became more confident every time I worked on the assignments she was giving me. Within 2 months of working for Susan, I felt pro behind a computer! She's an excellent mentor and I have learned so much already by only working for her for a few months. She has and continues to help me with my own business that I finally started! Because of Susan, I'm a firm believer that if you are positive and want something badly enough, it WILL happen.

“As an entrepreneur, there are certain characteristics that stand out when you work closely with other people. Sometimes it's passion or desire, maybe commitment or attention to detail... Other times, it's all of those things and then maybe something else, something special. Having known Susan for several years, both personally and professionally, I'd have to say that she has it - that something special you look for in others that inspires you. Susan inspires me to do more, to reach out, to improve myself and to nurture others. I'm very thankful for that and I'm confident that she can do the same for you...”

“If you could bottle her energy, enthusiasm and positive nature, you would have a guaranteed formula for success! Susan is an eternal optimist who recharges everyone around her with her positive spirit. I am always inspired by observing all that Susan undertakes. She is a wonderful role model to entrepreneurs everywhere and she continuously amazes those around her. We at B.I.G. are both proud and grateful to have Susan as one of our pod leaders. Through her, our brand is wonderfully represented and she epitomizes our mission of "women empowering women" to fulfillment.”
