How does a single mother of four rebuild her life after divorce, raise her children to graduate from college and pursue promising careers, and discover her own calling along the way? For Susan Hyche, the answer began with mentorship.

Mentors Charles and Nubia Fisher gave Susan an opportunity and one life-changing question: “What were you born to do?” That question sparked a journey of self-discovery that helped Susan recognize her true passion: connecting with people, meeting them where they are, and coaching them to believe in themselves and their potential.

Along the way, Susan experienced success in the ways business often measures it—through growth, achievement, and numbers. But for her, the greatest measure of success has always been the genuine, heartfelt connections we make with others.

Today, Susan is a client and retail operations leader who brings that same heart and purpose to the teams she leads, the people she mentors, and her four grown children.

Her journey is a reminder that sometimes, finding your calling begins with someone simply believing in you and asking the right question.
