The Itty Bitty Legend
The Phoenix has risen
once more as The Itty Bitty Lady –
Suzy Prudden
Suzy Prudden is on the rise.
A celebrity in her own right, she is once again ready to shine her illuminating light to share her expertise with the world.
“In a business climate where so many people are pushing to get themselves in the spotlight, Suzy Prudden is an unexpected joy. Instead of pushing and promoting herself, Suzy works to shine a light on others.
Through Itty Bitty Publishing, Suzy has launched hundreds of authors to take the first step in establishing their authority, visibility, and credibility. She’s an expert at guiding people to share the best of themselves in the best possible way.
Suzy is always sought as a source of wisdom and encouragement. Never shy to share her “behind the scenes” struggles, Suzy makes even the least confident participants believe they can achieve the desired success. That’s her gift, and we all receive it gratefully.”
~ Gail Dixon, Founder, The Heart’s Voice Movement.
After taking some time out from the limelight, Prudden is back with a bang. Like the Phoenix taking flight after transformation, Prudden shares her artistry with the world again.
She has shared the stage with such notables as Deepak Chopra, Tony Robbins, Rev. Michael Beckwith, Jean Houston, Marianne Williamson, and many others.
Innovation is the word that best describes Suzy Prudden. She has over 50 years of experience as a serial entrepreneur and has owned and operated nine businesses, published 11 books, and done 18 in-person media tours.
Prudden’s expertise in the mind-body connection and her ability to powerfully connect with her audience led to her becoming a highly sought-after International Speaker and Workshop and Seminar Leader.
She delivers her talks with power and humor, giving her audience practical tools to incorporate into their professional and personal lives.
The daughter of a Broadway dancer who became the Nation’s foremost Fitness Expert and entrepreneur, performance and innovation is in her blood. Prudden’s mother, Bonnie Prudden, inspired the formation of the President’s Council on Youth Fitness and created a discipline called Myotherapy, a way to erase muscle pain.
It’s little surprise, then, that Prudden herself began her illustrious career as a fitness expert in her own right. Prudden created a successful exercise and affirmation program with Louise L. Hay, working with Oprah Winfrey and many others.
Prudden taught during the years 1965-1983 and became a sought-after fitness influencer, achieving celebrity status and becoming a household name in the fitness industry. She appeared on TV talk shows throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s, including Good Morning America, The Today Show, and Oprah. She was the Fitness Reporter for The Today show and had her own Talk Show on NBC in New York. She was featured in major publications, including The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Newsweek, Forbes and Affidian Magazine.
In her TedEx talk – You Are the Power – Suzy Prudden – TEDxYouth@CityOfIndustry- Prudden tells her story of being born and raised in wealth, and then, 8 months after her appearance on The Oprah Show, became broke and homeless. Using the power of the mind, which she teaches others, she brought herself out of financial distress and back to the top of her industry.
In 2006, in collaboration with her sister, Joan Meijer, they self-published their first non-traditional book. However, in Prudden’s own words, “…the book didn’t go anywhere.” Not one to be easily defeated, though, in 2014, Prudden again enlisted the help of her sister. Meijer changed the book’s cover, took Prudden’s name off the cover and reduced the pages. This created their brand, Your Amazing Itty Bitty™ books and established them as leading edge publishers in their field.
The idea of enabling other authors to create tiny books in a market saturated with lengthy and complex literary works began taking shape in her mind. Prudden wanted to help other authors create an impact in the world by making complex ideas readily available and understandable to all. And so, Itty Bitty™ Publishing was born. This new concept created by Meijer has now become the standard for all Itty Bitty™ books.
Itty Bitty™ Publishing has since given birth to hundreds of books and, to date, has 116 Amazon best sellers. Itty Bitty™ Books features various experts providing easily digestible, actionable wisdom. At just 30 pages long, they cut out the fluff and give the reader exactly what they need to know in a way that allows them to grasp and apply key insights quickly.
She is now recognized as the “Itty Bitty Lady” and is revered by her clients and peers for giving them a voice and vehicle to get their message out and bring their words to life.
Remaining passionate about her calling to empower others, Prudden continues her work as a personal development coach.
When asked to pinpoint the strategies that led and continue to contribute to her success, Prudden emphasizes the importance of being visible.
She remains active in networking groups and attending in-person events despite the growth of social media and the ever-increasing need for an online presence. Her calendar is filled with workshops and speaking engagements across the country.
So, what’s next for this serial entrepreneur and trailblazer?
At the age of 80, Prudden says that Itty Bitty™ Publishing is her last business venture, which she is ensuring has a solid foundation to continue growing. She intends to expand Itty Bitty™ Publishing into Itty Bitty™Audio so that the books can be listened to anywhere and anytime.
Prudden is a legend who has shown us what believing in ourselves looks like. She has a deep desire to help others achieve their dreams by sharing their expertise in Itty Bitty books. She is ready to step back out into the spotlight, a place where she belongs and where her fans and followers are eagerly awaiting her next flight.
