Choose expansion.
Recognize the expectations and age-based assumptions that quietly shrink our lives. Explore what changes when we let curiosity have a say in what comes next.
TAYLOREDSUSAN TAYLOR · KEYNOTE SPEAKER
An honest, funny keynote about expanding what you believe is possible, and taking the first step toward it.
We’re good at maintaining life. But what are we doing to expand it? Through the story of my 40 Before 40 list, the women who changed what I thought was possible, and a few lessons learned outside my comfort zone, I help audiences turn inspiration into action.

Big dreams rarely start big.
A moment from Turning Purpose Into Action, my TPC ROSE keynote. The idea is simple: give a big dream a small enough first step that you’re willing to take it.
My own next chapter has taken me from healthcare leadership to adventure storytelling, a 50 Before 50 list, and helping more people find their way into adventure. The thread is curiosity, courage, and choosing to begin.
INSIDE THE KEYNOTE
Recognize the expectations and age-based assumptions that quietly shrink our lives. Explore what changes when we let curiosity have a say in what comes next.
Move beyond the lists that only maintain life. See how 40 Before 40 became an accountability system for experiences, connection, and growth.
Ask for what you want. Tell somebody. Be willing to be a beginner. Leave with one practical action to take in the next seven days.
The talk also explores how purpose evolves, including the shift from pursuing my own adventures to helping more people access them. Available for women’s events, conferences, community groups, and teams, with the conversation shaped around your audience.
FROM THE ROOM
TPC ROSE Keynote partner, Susan Taylor with Taylored Adventures, provided an inspirational message and personal stories that touched part of each of us. Several of our team members shared with me that they found the heart-filled message and experiences wonderful. Susan is a fabulous speaker and lives the message she encourages all of us to explore.
Thank you, Susan, for a fantastic evening.
