MEET SUZY

Three-time New York Times bestselling author, NYU Stern professor, and founder of Becoming You Labs, Suzy Welch has spent her career creating frameworks to help answer how people live the life they were meant to live – frameworks that are both scientifically validated and deeply human, and used by millions of people around the world.

 

Professor of management at NYU Stern School of Business since 2022, Suzy received her PhD in values expression from the University of Bristol. Her widely praised book Becoming You: The Proven Method for Crafting Your Authentic Life and Career was published in 2024 and named an Amazon Best Book of the Year, and her book 10-10-10: A Life-Transforming Idea, was published in 2009, and was a long-running New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-seller. Suzy is also the host of two popular podcasts, Becoming You and Please Advise.

 

An assiduous writer and diary keeper since a young girl, Suzy always knew she wanted to work with storytelling and journalism. After receiving her undergraduate degree from Harvard University, Suzy joined The Miami Herald as a reporter. At the newspaper, she was unexpectedly asked to cover a business conference, a world she knew nothing about but immediately fell in love with. She left daily journalism to attend Harvard Business School, where she graduated as a Baker Scholar in 1988. She worked as a management consultant at Bain&Co. for several years before joining the Harvard Business Review, where she was named editor-in-chief in 2001.

 

After leaving HBR, Suzy went on to have two shows on CNBC, Get to Work, with Suzy Welch, and Suzy Welch, Fix My Career, along with a careers column for O: The Oprah Magazine. In 2010, she became, and remains, a regular contributor to The Today Show, focused on careers and the economy. In 2005, she co-authored Winning with her late husband Jack Welch, which was an international bestseller, as was their second book together, The Real-Life MBA.

 

Suzy has always been impregnated with energy and curiosity in every of her endeavours, be it motherhood (about which she has read immensely), her career as a journalist and author or her 5-day-a-week workout routine. She also finds time to volunteer at non-profits that range from homelessness to animal rights. Professor Welch lives in New York with her family and dogs.

‘What am I really uniquely good at? Better than most people at? And it could be something quite technical like math with three variables or making strangers feel welcome … You have a gift, so there is that: what you are uniquely good at.’
