Coaching That Builds the Leader, Not Just the Resume
Because real leadership isn’t just what you do—it’s how you show up
When we work together, it’s a true partnership. Yes, you’ll get tools, strategies, and practical techniques you can apply right away. But you’ll also get space to think deeply, challenge old patterns, and lead in a way that feels more like you.
This isn’t one-size-fits-all coaching. It’s a tailored process that helps you sharpen your approach, strengthen your mindset, and bring out your natural leadership—without losing yourself or burning out in the process.
Together, we’ll work to clear what’s getting in your way and build a leadership style that’s sustainable, effective, and uniquely yours.

Together, we’ll design actionable solutions that increase your ability to communicate effectively and focus on the most important work to move your team forward.
I have been working with Susan for just under a year and am amazed with the impact she has had in this short time on how I work through real or perceived obstacles. Her coaching and consulting package has been invaluable in my development and pushing me to be introspective, goal-oriented, and committed to my true self.
I’ve seen the team come together in a more cohesive way working with Susan which has improved our communication, work and the quality of the product we can deliver to our customers. I highly value Susan’s approach and her impact on our business.
As soon as Susan was hired, we had a ‘sticky’ personnel matter to attend to and Susan guided me through gracefully and successfully. Susan has incredible empathy, compassion, smarts as well as an uncanny ability to ‘read between the lines’ effortlessly and professionally. I feel very well cared for when I’m in her hands
I’m happy to be your guide on learning these tools and techniques and practicing them in the workplace in real time. While working together you’ll notice a difference in yourself, your team and your results.

Improve Communication
Team Training
It’s a collaborative environment where people feel valued, seen and heard. They aren’t afraid to share how they really feel about an idea and know that they won’t get shut down when they’re being honest.
This kind of environment is where creativity thrives. It also leads to high productivity and engagement. Employees are proud of where they work and they share it with their friends and family.
If this is the kind of team environment you’d like then it’s time we work together.
When you’re in a meeting and you hear crickets this is an indication that you’re missing out on what’s really going on. People will clam up when they don’t feel seen, heard or understood.
If they don’t feel like their voice will be listened to, or they think the decision has already been made, you’ll never get the best out of your people.
This means your team won’t be thriving nor be its most creative, engaged or productive.
The good news is that you CAN change this.
I’ll work with you and your team to identify and solve the problems that are keeping your team stuck.
We’ll do this in 3 steps:
Step One - We begin with a comprehensive assessment exercise to define you and your team’s current strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities.
Step Two - Then we’ll do goal development, including determining the team’s collective vision, objectives, actions, and realistic timelines.
Step Three - Lastly, we’ll execute on the information uncovered in Parts 1 & 2. This involves leadership coaching, milestone accountability and support, regular progress reports to recognize and reinforce progress.
Assessments are available when applicable to help your team thrive:
- DiSC(R) ™
- Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) ™
- Strengths Deployment Inventory (SDI) ™
If you’re ready to create a team culture where people feel energized, empowered, and engaged—let’s connect and explore how we can make that vision a reality.
find your personal brand story
Career Coaching
Are you at a place in your career where you aren’t feeling fulfilled? Have you been feeling unsure if you should keep going in your current role or do something different? Is your confidence low because you’re not sure how to describe all of your awesome sills and abilities?
Oftentimes if you’re not getting ahead it’s because you’re telling the story of where you’ve been with respect to your work. In our work, we’re going to focus on where you’re going and ensure you have the language and confidence to clearly communicate that.
To do this we’ll work together to find your personal brand story.
Your brand story is where your uniqueness, skills, talents and goals come together.
We’ll narrow in on your strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for development so that you can have a clear sense of what you bring to the table and be able to communicate that in an effective and compelling way.
Your story will be based on where you want to go, not where you’ve been.
This will lead to a congruence that brings out your confidence and will attract opportunities.
Whether you want to stay in your field or change lanes, career coaching will get you where you want to go.
You’ll leave coaching with…
Your future forward brand story

With 25 years of experience in Talent Management, I’ll work with you to refine your resume and cover letter so your application speaks directly to what employers are looking for—because I speak the language of HR.

Tailored Team Workshops
In other cases, you may already have a clear sense of what your team needs. You may know that leaders need support to communicate more clearly, navigate tough conversations with greater confidence, give feedback that motivates action, or lead in ways that develop others and build capacity across the team.
Either way, I will work closely with you to design a workshop that aligns with your team’s learning and development goals, reflects the realities they are facing, and supports the outcomes you want to create. Each session is informed by best practices, grounded in research-based models, and shaped by real-world leadership and workplace experience.
Some common workshop topics include:
Communicating with Clarity and Impact - Leaders often know what they want to say, but not always how to say it in a way that truly lands. This workshop helps leaders communicate with greater clarity, intention, and confidence so expectations are understood, messages are more consistent, and people know what matters most.
Confidence for Tough Conversations - Difficult conversations can drain leader energy long before they ever happen. This workshop helps leaders prepare for and navigate challenging conversations with more steadiness, clarity, and skill so they can address issues earlier and with less avoidance.
Feedback that Motivates Action - Many leaders delay feedback or soften it so much that the message gets lost. This workshop helps leaders deliver feedback in a way that is clear, respectful, and more likely to lead to reflection, accountability, and stronger performance.
Lead to Develop Others and Build Capacity - When leaders become the go-to person for every answer, team growth can stall and the leader can become overloaded. This workshop helps leaders use coaching-style skills to build confidence, ownership, and stronger thinking in others so the team becomes more capable and less dependent.
These topics can stand on their own or be adapted and combined based on what will best support your team. The goal is not only to deliver a strong workshop in the moment, but also to create learning that helps people think differently, communicate more effectively, and lead with greater confidence and intention long after the session is over.
Assessments to Deepen Insight and Support Growth
In some situations, an assessment can provide a powerful starting point for individual or team development. You may already know that you want to use an assessment to help people better understand their strengths, patterns, and impact at work, and to create meaningful conversations about how to work and lead more effectively.
When applicable, I offer individual and team assessment debriefs that turn insight into practical reflection, stronger awareness, and focused growth.
Assessments are available when appropriate to help your team thrive:
- DiSC(R) ™
- Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) ™
- Strengths Deployment Inventory (SDI) ™
From Surviving to Thriving: Go from Powerless to Powerful in Your Workplace.
This short workbook will help you identify the obstacles keeping you from experiencing fulfillment and satisfaction in your work.
Build Confidence and Deepen Your Coaching Impact
Mentor Coaching
Mentor coaching is more than a credentialing requirement—it’s a transformative part of your growth as a coach. As you work toward your ACC or PCC ICF certification or renewal, my process helps you sharpen your skills, align with the Core Competencies, and reinforce your own presence while connecting to your higher purpose as a coach.
In my own journey, mentor coaching was where the real growth happened. The feedback I received stretched me, challenged me, and ultimately made me a more confident, effective coach. It helped me listen more deeply, ask more powerful questions, and navigate complex coaching conversations with greater ease.
Through personalized feedback and supportive guidance, I’ll help you see where you’re strong, where you can grow, and how to consistently show up with integrity and professionalism. Together, we’ll ensure you’re not just meeting requirements but truly evolving into the coach you aspire to be.
