The Inspired Leader Approach

Born out of the desire to first help herself as a leader of 25 people in the HR department, Susan discovered the power of bringing coaching principles to leadership in the workplace.

After struggling to get the best out of her team for over a year Susan hired a leadership coach and saw the incredible change that happened over the coming months.

Inspired by this change in people and the results that followed, Susan became a certified leadership coach herself and now passes on what she learned to other leaders who want to be more effective and get the best out of their team.

When you become an inspired leader you’ll notice a huge difference in yourself and your team. Here’s some examples of what clients have experienced when going from a struggling leader to an inspired leader.

From Struggling Leader To Inspired Leader

From Struggling Leader To Inspired Leader

  • You’re not sure of your personal purpose, and you’re feeling a disconnect from the mission.
  • Your purpose is clear, both to you and to those you lead. It’s resonating with your team, and there’s a real sense of shared responsibility.
  • You're feeling unfocused, and everything is running you.
  • You’re able to decide what’s important to you and where to spend your time. You can clearly communicate that to your team.
  • You're running on fumes (and caffeine). Each day feels like a grind, and your enthusiasm—and that of your team—is wearing thin.
  • You show up energized and engaged. This sets the tone for your team, and you notice they're more excited now, too!
  • You hold back your ideas, unsure how to make your voice heard or influence decisions at the level you know you're capable of.
  • You communicate with confidence. Your thoughts are shared and heard, your influence grows, and you see your input turn into real results.
  • Your team is duplicating work. The same questions keep coming up, often pulling you away from core tasks. 
  • You're able to give your team clear direction, define their roles, and instill accountability. They feel more autonomous, and you have more time for your strategic work.
  • Work follows you home. You’re “always on”, with little left to give to the people and moments that matter most outside of work.
  • You have space to lead—and to live. The weight of work is no longer upon you. Your team runs smoothly, and you now have time for your personal life. You’re taking time off again!

    I needed someone to challenge me, particularly in how I communicate difficult messages. Your style of truly listening and asking me thought-provoking questions allows me to go from feeling blocked to unblocked. I never feel judged; instead, I feel confident to dive deeper into complex issues. You encourage me to look at situations from different angles. Coaching with you has been essential to growing my business.

    I wasn’t feeling confident going for the opportunities that I really wanted. With every session, you gave me something I could use—a tool, a strategy, or a shift in mindset. When a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came my way, you helped me prepare, quiet the negative self-talk, and show up confident and clear. I got the job! Thank you, Susan, for helping me step into my confidence and communicate clearly at work.

    Before working with you I was dealing with a very challenging business issue and woke up each morning with dread. It felt hopeless. I immediately felt connected to you and could be honest about my weaknesses and fears. You offered the perfect balance of empathy, reality, and brass tacks. I learned what to say and how, and resolved the issue. I felt a tremendous sense of freedom and release. Thank you, Susan. Having you in my corner was the catalyst I needed.
