Helping teams collaborate early, often, and better.

Hi friends! I’m Susie Lonsberry — a retired Air Force pilot, commander, and leadership writer.  

For over 20 years, I led teams through chaos, change, and plenty of coffee-powered planning sessions — ranging from combat missions to everyday leadership challenges. 

These days, I write and share what I learned along the way: how collaboration builds trust, why planning works best when it's shared, and how leaders can actually enjoy the process.

This space captures the best ideas I've learned from working with others—and my own (mis)adventures. I'd love to include yours.

Caffeinate. Collaborate. Elevate.
