I’m Susan Deslaurier and I help mid-life men and women become the architect of their legacy.

 

I’ve been through distinct shifts in my personal and professional life, including a leap from my home in the California suburbs to my current simple life on the African plains, diving into a wide range of professional roles from counseling incarcerated minors to corporate leaders, starting and folding businesses, counseling Maasai elders and Indian land developers, and raising two amazing daughters. Along the way I gained deep wisdom about recognizing gaps in contentment, figuring out what needs to change, and finding the courage to make it happen.

 

My major life shifts seem to come every 10 years or so….
 

• I began as counselor for incarcerated minors, battered women and rape survivors, learning that life is not always predictable or kind, and requires tremendous courage to hold on to your true self and spirit.

 

• Then I shifted to become a corporate communications specialist, leadership consultant and executive coach, seeing that even the most outwardly successful people have flaws and yearnings that impede their path to being the person they wish to be.

 

• My current incarnation blends my experience and passions to create my international safari company and support a Maasai cultural camp and community projects with my Maasai husband in Kenya, proving the power of saying “yes” to unexpected and unbelievable choices to let my best life come true.

 

Every pivot and change was a mix of magical opportunities, faith in saying yes to all that felt right, and courage to be true to myself. I love sharing my experiences in shifting cultures and continents, bridging seasons of life and learning big lessons to create a life of purposeful living and enduring legacy.

 

Are you ready to be the architect of your future?
