What is a Fierce Conversation?

At Fierce Inc., we believe that every conversation holds the potential to transform even the toughest business problems. Founded by Susan Scott, a best-selling author and leadership visionary, our mission is simple: to empower organizations to master the art of communication. With over 13 years of experience guiding top CEOs and over 10,000 hours spent in high-stakes conversations, Susan discovered a profound truth—while no single conversation is guaranteed to change your life, any conversation can.

Our training programs are built on this very foundation. Designed to unlock the power of genuine, fearless dialogue, they equip your team with the tools to engage, inspire, and lead. Whether you’re looking to enhance leadership effectiveness, boost employee engagement, or drive organizational performance, Fierce Inc. provides the strategies that make conversations count.
