Sue Blaney is the founder and president of Changeworks Publishing & Consulting, and is a communications expert with 30 years experience in communications, training, marketing and sales. Sue is passionate about providing support for parents of teenagers, observing that many parents of teenagers are bombarded with conflicting messages and feel unsure about their changing role. Using her personal and professional experience, she provides tools that connect parents of teens while helping them explore the range of issues they are likely to face. She believes that parents benefit from learning and sharing with one another, and that a key source of  the “empowerment” parents seek is in connection and discussion with other parents.
