Realizing that she could apply her skills as an experienced strategic business planner to help women be proactive in shaping their own lives, Susanna Liller founded Ruby Slippers in 2000.  She is also President of Liller Consulting LLC, a management consulting firm. She specializes in the strategic planning process, conflict management and executive and life coaching.

Susanna knows from personal experience – leaving a lackluster corporate manager job to find work she loves, breaking free from a stale first marriage to be her own person (she is happily remarried now) – that dreams can come true.   She has accomplished one of her own by becoming a personal life coach for women in transition.  Her graceful presence and affirming enthusiasm help people to feel supported and capable as they discover what they really want to do in life.  Susanna credits her success to being grateful for what she already has (even on the worst of days) and to the companionship of her dog, Stargazer. 

As a partner with Ruby Slippers, Creighton Taylor has developed and facilitated workshops for the organization since 2004.  She is also an associate with Liller Consulting, where she helps facilitate corporate strategic planning retreats.  Creighton is a graduate of The Coaches Training Institute's Co-Active Coaching™ Core Curriculum program, and is currently pursuing her professional accreditation. Creighton’s strategic life planning and coaching practice, Thrive!, guides clients on the journey from ‘surviving’ (accepting what life hands them) to ‘thriving’ -- allowing them to explore their goals and dreams so they can claim the gifts their lives hold.
