Suzanne Brown – It’s Time to Create Professional Part-time Working Mom Opportunities – TEDxSMUWomen 2016
For more than 3 years, Suzanne Brown has interviewed professional part-time working moms to hear their stories and understand their advice, insights, and challenges. In addition to sharing a few of these stories, Suzanne highlights a holistic view of changes impacting the U.S. workforce. She argues that the U.S. population shifts, social aspect, and business and economic perspective make this the right moment to create more professional part-time work opportunities to keep moms and women in the workforce. Suzanne Brown is a mom, wife, part-time strategic marketing consultant, speaker, writer, avid international traveler and advocate for professional part-time working moms. Her own professional part-time work story started at a large marketing agency after the birth of her older son. She left the corporate world, which enabled her to focus on her own business and be the mom she wanted to be. She has collected stories, advice, insights and challenges from professional part-time working moms across the U.S. to share them in her book, which is due out mid-2017. She has an MBA, BBA and BA from The University of Texas at Austin. Suzanne lives in Austin, Texas with her husband and their two young, active boys.
