About the author.

After watching shy, quiet, artsy or intellectual friends get bullied in high school, Susan Harrow decided that sitting back and “just watching” wasn’t acceptable.

She began a lifelong journey that continues to this day: exploring what it takes to speak your mind, stand your ground and sing your song™, even when life gets incredibly tough.

As communication expert and media coach, she has trained thousands of people over the past twenty-nine years, helping them to express themselves clearly and powerfully — even under serious pressure.

In her twenties Susan taught English in high school in San Francisco and was a tennis pro who taught at resorts and tennis camps countrywide where she helped many girls stoke their fires.

As black belt in Aikido, she brings the ancient Japanese martial arts philosophy into her work, emphasizing non-aggression, inner calm and harmony — even in situations that really, totally stink.

Susan is a sought-after media coach, marketing expert & the author of the bestselling book Sell Yourself Without Selling Your Soul: A Woman's Guide to Promoting Herself, Her Business, Her Product or Her Cause with Integrity and Spirit.

True Shield® is Susan’s first book written especially for teenage girls so they can master verbal self-defense — but not her last.

When she’s not writing, coaching or practicing Aikido at her local dojo, you can find Susan online at www.prsecrets.com.
