“Wow. How many times do you get to write that someone changed your life and really mean it? Not many, but this is one of those times. I had just resigned from a short stint with an enormous corporation that wasn't showing the "appetite for change" I had been encouraged to expect. I was skittish from my bad decision and unsure what to do next. I decided to work with Susan though her approach was unconventional. She asked me how thoughts, memories, places, and people felt in my gut and in my heart. We talked about my relationship with money. I wanted something different -- an answer I hadn't reached before or maybe one I'd forgotten or buried. In just three months of working with Susan, I found it. I'm back on track and so deeply excited about each day. I'll be forever grateful to Susan and her unusual methods!”

“Susan helped me when I'd hit a real crossroad in my professional life. Her creative approach helped me really get in touch with what I really want to be doing and map out a strategy to go for it. It's been the best year of my life in so many ways and I credit Susan with helping me find it. I wasn't sue I was going to like working with a life coach, especially since I find it had to talk about feelings, etc, but Susan's approach brought me along and I actually ended up enjoying the process, and making a new friend. I highly recommend Susan.”

"Susan's approach is awesome -- she supported me look at my career and my life inside-out. After three successful startups (two of which I founded), I had no desire to start anything for a while. However, the corporate world did not look appealing at all. Susan helped me understand what my heart was saying. She helped decode the DNA code that makes me tick. I moved from being a startup entrepreneur to a hi-tech evangelist during the day, and an evangelist for non-profits in education, health and happiness during evenings & weekends. What more could I ask for?".

“Susan arrived in my life just as I was completing a large transition into a new company. Susan helped me navigate the waters in this new role and identify the opportunities that would help lead me down the path of future passions that I wanted to explore -- ultimately helping me identify a path that could be taken as a journey to lead me to my life's work. I walked away with an amazing tool box and new ways to think about things as well as the inspiration to continually challenge myself to think bigger while taking bite size pieces.”

- Heidi Otto

"I initially hired Susan because she previously worked at the Firm I had just left so I felt she would have a deep understanding of part of my career history. To my delight, Susan's entire philosophy evolves around finding and then pursuing your inner passion. In my case, that inner passion was well hidden. She worked with me on multiple levels to unlock my passions and then to encourage their pursuit on my own time frame. I had a wonderful experience working with her.”

- Scott Thacker

“Susan is an expert coach. She is very talented at pulling out key issues for clients and providing the support (via tangible tools, ways of thinking, direct feedback) to help either navigate a current professional situation that has changed and is difficult, or helping the client sift through their own desires to help find a new career path that is in-line with who they are. She is an incredible asset if you're looking to make a career change or need some additional outside coaching for your current working situation.”

- Allison Kaiser Kelly

“I am still referring to the notes I took during my calls with Susan. After every call with Susan, I felt as though I had taken a huge step forward in understanding myself, the foundation of my work ethic, and the patterns of behavior that have been keeping me from truly succeeding in my career. I can't speak more highly of Susan for guiding me to realizations I wouldn't have reached without her support. When I pushed back against techniques I didn't feel were working for me, she quickly changed gears and found the right approach. Susan is warm, personable, and her energy is contagious. I think hiring Susan should be an integral part of every person's career (or change of careers).”
