Susan’s approach sparked self-discovery and gave me clarity on my values and goals. Her creativity, insight, and efficiency made a lasting impact on both my career and personal growth.

Kate Brunson
Director of Sales, Nestlé Health Science

Susan has an innate ability to connect with the people that she works with and provide them with the tools and insights needed to be successful. During our sessions, she was a very intent listener and then worked closely with me to first leverage strategies to improve my focus and improve my presence, then to go through frameworks to tackle the given situation. She was able to pull from her own experience to make her suggestions all the more impactful. Very quickly after starting with her, I saw the effects of her coaching on my day to day. I am tremendously grateful for her support, and I know I will be using the resources she shared with me for years to come.

Thomas Lojko
Global Director, Solutions Architecture, Iterable

Working with Susan was an absolute pleasure, she took the time to understand my personal and professional development needs as well as my strengths & weakness and current capabilities. Through great conversations and goal setting she helped guide me professionally and personally. Her ability to help you cultivate and manifest outcomes as well as insights into tools to help navigate new ways of thinking really made an impact for me and separated her from my other coaching experiences. I highly recommend Susan if you are looking to visualize your next steps, establish future state and improve your personal life portfolio.

I worked closely with Susan to develop a leader on my team who was taking on a bigger role and working through addressing personal challenges. The transformation was tremendous to everyone on the team and throughout the organization. Susan brings experience, expertise, drive, and a refreshing levity to the world of coaching. This driven, yet down-to-earth style makes working with her an absolute pleasure.

Susan was recommended to me after a recent promotion where I needed to manage multiple teams and had several direct reports. This was a bit daunting at first due to the increased responsibility. I knew I needed some solid tools/methods to deal with the increased stress and workload. With her expertise in coaching leaders, and a focus on energy maximizing techniques, I was able to organize my tasks and projects, while giving the guidance and leadership my team needed in order to be a high performing workgroup. I cannot recommend Susan highly enough for any organization that is looking for an empathetic and professional leadership coach.

Blair Cornish
SVP Sales, Vive

What an amazing experience! I was slightly nervous about this process as I’ve never had this type of one-on-one coaching before but Susan made me feel comfortable by providing an atmosphere of support, encouragement and trust. Besides supporting me in my development goals, Susan took the time to listen and provide valuable feedback and tools with many of the challenges I was facing as a leader. She actually did more than just “provide.” She helped guide me to apply what I was learning through role-playing and exercises. She truly cared about my growth. And helped me to embrace how my development and growth as a leader can benefit not only myself but those I lead and support. I am excited for the opportunities that will come from this coaching experience!
