SUSAN DANE SETIN, Founder of SMART WOMEN RISING and “The Causative Woman” training, spent her first career designing, marketing and producing international travel & corporate events, personally taking over 28,000 people abroad to 30 countries. After nine months in Brazil, she returned to New York where she opened the Incentives and Trade Show Division for a major New York travel wholesaler. The programs she designed & sold generated $3.4 million in the first 18 months. But Susan was destined for another path.
In a bitter cold Boston February, her “perfect” life imploded. Her husband disappeared, her house...
I didn‘t hesitate for one minute when I heard about the Smart Business Dubai 5 Star experience with Susan Dane Setin. We share the same sensibilty and desire to gather strong, powerful women in building community, strength and philanthropy. Susan has shown me nothing but consideratiobn for her participants. She is so detailed in checking and making sure that every single aspect of this trip will be covered. Dubai has been on my bucket list for years and I have complete trust that I am going to have the time of my life.
After many years of staying stateside,I attended a seminar with Susan in Nice,France that included morning classroom sessions that were both inspiring and transformative. That trip--together with a well-organized tour of Nice, medieval villages and into Italy--opened a new world for me and made me hungry for continuing cultural adventures. I went on to spend six weeks in Prague, training as an ESL instructor and three years teaching in St. Petersburg,with further adventures to Ukraine, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland. Traveling with Susan opened the way for what became the greatest adventure of my life.
At 54, I wanted to move into a new field but was paralyzed by the process. It looked nothing, like any of my previous jobs. Working with Susan I realized that my dream career actually fulfills on a calling I’ve had since childhood! I saw how all my jobs have built on this unconscious path giving me needed skills and experience. I created a masterpiece resume and life-story that really reflect who I am and what I’m up to. I highly recommend Susan to women of any age forging a new path.
What an honor to be a part of this unique experience! Of course, I signed up immediately! This is not just a trip. It‘s a life event that will allow each of us to expand our hearts and build a sisterhood in a place that seems so foreign andfar away. I am beyond elated and ready to embrace our sisters of Dubai as we learn and grow stronger together! I am grateful to Ms.Susan Dane Setin for giving us this unique opportunity to join hands and hearts. Thank you for what I know will be a life altering experience!
Traveling with Susan is life changing both mentally and physically. Her trip to Turkey and Greece, tracing the footsteps of Paul, was eye opening beyond anything I had imagined. The trip itself was totally original—custom designed out of Susan’s many years in group travel. Susan makes sure all her trips are life-adventures you can’t find anywhere else. Combining it with workshops in personal and spiritual development works for me. Susan is so filled with love it just spills out all over the place!
