Meet Susan

Integral Leadership Coach, Enneagram Consultant
and Organizational Mindfulness Teacher

Imagine how your leadership would be different if you could…

   Start more of your days with clarity and optimism
   Face uncertainty with calmness and curiosity
   Inspire others to go the extra mile
   Resolve conflict with confidence and equanimity
   Create a trusting workspace for continuous feedback

 That’s where I come in.

You can achieve more conscious, balanced leadership.

I’ve coached leaders in diverse industries, of many nationalities, of different ages, and at all stages in their careers. I’ve worked with individuals on their own, and with groups and teams of all kinds. It’s been a fascinating ride seeing the inner operations of banks, hospitals, paper factories, tech clean rooms, distribution warehouses, pharmaceutical labs and more.

The key to my success has been giving people a glimpse into a different leadership reality with insight and practical techniques.

If you choose to work with me, you can expect a transformation at some level within your whole working self. We’ll address the domains of the head, heart, and body.

That said, this is coaching not therapy. All inquiry and practical skill development are in the service of specific work goals you’ll have.

Our coaching path together will be consensual and finite, with a beginning, middle and end. You are in the driver’s seat. I simply have the privilege of being your navigator.

 

Welcome to the journey!

“Susan struck a beautiful balance of providing me with an understanding of what the Enneagram data was telling us, what that means for me in my life more broadly, and how that applies to helping me make progress on my goals for our coaching engagement. She helped me gain awareness of my motivations and thinking habits so I can notice what may or may not be serving me. I also appreciate that Susan gave me a tool to try out after each coaching session that would help me deepen my understanding of a new strategy and help me make progress on my goals.”
