Testimonials

Since climbing the corporate ladder I have found myself asking many questions in my working life as my roles became more senior and with it more complex. I found myself questioning what the best approach might be to a challenges I hadn’t necessarily encountered before, and thought at the time the best way was simply to ask someone for the answer. When I first went to Susan for some coaching on these challenges, that is what I expected: to be given the answer. Wrong. The best way for me to describe this is to use the saying ‘Give a man a fish and you’ll feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you’ve fed him for a lifetime’.

Susan’s coaching showed me that working something out for oneself is a much better approach than just being given an answer to a question, since it provides both the answer and a toolset to solve other challenges in the future. She has a very thoughtful approach and a refreshing ability to listen actively, rather than listening just to respond, and of course has plenty of helpful suggestions to ‘nudge’ one to the answer. The end result is that Susan has coached me to learn how to fish, and I’m deeply grateful for that.

Susan has helped me tremendously. She acted as a catalyst and in a very short time I assessed and became fully aware of my professional value and potential. She has also supported me in articulating a clear and convincing message about my professional project. Her human qualities combined with an exceptional career means that the quality of her support is beyond expectation.

I highly recommend Susan.

Susan’s coaching style combines deceptively straight forward questions, attentive listening and supportive challenge all of which encourages deep thinking. In a couple of sessions I had mapped out a complete life and career change and implemented it within 12 months. I am now enjoying life in France.
