“Soon after hearing Susan speak at a luncheon, I was excited to sign up for “Creating Your Career Opportunities: 3 Skills to Getting What You Want”.  The course covered the importance of developing advocates, which served to point out how I’ve been lacking in this area, but gave me a lot to work on. It also provided tools to help us speak about our accomplishments in a clear, concise and effective manner, and also how to ask directly for what we want in the workplace. I’d signed up for the course due to uncertainty in my current position because of an impending merger, and just a few months later, was able to apply the tools learned in an interview setting. Specifically, in an interview with the VP of HR, I was able to present the [the communications strategy we'd learned], and it was empowering to watch the reaction on the interviewer’s face. When I finished, she said, “Not only was that a great outcome for the company, but it tells me a lot about the type of person that you are… that you’re the kind of employee who is always seeking ways to solve problems and make the current processes work better and more efficiently.”  If that isn’t the desired outcome, I don’t know what is, and I’m happy to say I was offered the position!! Thank you, Susan, for your commitment to helping others along their journey. Thank goodness you identified your energy gems and followed your heart when it comes to your career, as we have all benefited from it!”

“The information and exercises we were taken through are invaluable!  In the midst of the course, I found myself competing for new roles not once, but twice.  Prior to learning the [strategies from the course], I was unsuccessful in securing a role I had applied for. But afterward, I was much more confident and landed [my desired] position.”

“After making a major career shift, I found myself struggling with feelings of lost identity and purpose. Susan's coaching was structured to help me discover exactly what I needed to regain a sense of purpose in my career. After finishing coaching, I worked up the courage to go after a new position - and was hired. Susan's coaching also allowed me to reassess the way I strengthen relationships at work. Since implementing her strategies into my routines, I have been able to build myself up as a leader in my organization, build trust with management, and was nominated by my colleagues to our annual president's club excursion.”

"Susan's coaching was invaluable to my discernment of a career change. By helping me to name what elements of work truly energize me, as well as identify my core values, I was able to discover a new direction for my professional life.

Beyond the career discernment, coaching was crucial to my learning how to approach challenging situations in the workplace and to understanding my behavioral patterns at work that impact my success.
