“I’ve attended Susan’s online programs and also been coached one-on-one by her. She has used her unique expertise to help me listen more carefully to my body’s wisdom from previous work challenges to illuminate what in the future will bring me the greatest fulfillment. I’m someone who already has the capacity and commitment to tune into myself. So I was shocked and gratified to work with someone who can excavate even deeper gems of my experience.

Her ability to flip assumptions and beliefs into new ways of thinking is extraordinary. Listening carefully to the underlying themes as well as the specific content, she has led me to see new possibilities and develop more trust in myself. Susan turns on a dime to follow what the client needs in any given moment, keeping the macro work/life satisfaction goals in mind. Working with her is like a creative, dynamic dance together, bringing forth from each of us our best energies and power to reimagine.” ~ Marcia Rayene

“I came to Susan after spending a long time trying to get out of a job that was making me unhappy. I greatly appreciated Susan’s process which helped me pinpoint exactly what I want out of my job (and somewhat my life too). She was supportive yet challenging when I needed to be challenged. Because of our work, I was able to find a job that I’m loving now and be really clear on what I needed to work on in this job to make it work for me. I’ve recommended her several times to friends!” ~ Colleen McCarthy

“I contacted Susan to gain some long needed clarity on my career objectives and, initially, was fairly skeptical of signing up for that kind of a program. Let’s face it, there are many people out there claiming to provide you with life-changing solutions without having the knowledge, passion and Emotional Intelligence to really understand one’s situation. Susan is definitely an exception to the rule and I was most impressed with her insights and very unique talent of eliciting, through her very focused approach, the real drivers and motivators that make you ‘tick’ – and doing so in a laid-back fashion. I can recommend her highly for anybody in their quest to a fulfilled and meaningful life.” ~ Peter Klugsberger

“In the wake of a profound personal loss, Susan helped me gain greater clarity from “within” to assist me with my career. Her recommended exercises, insights and resources were highly valuable in providing greater awareness and understanding of how to improve my Return On Life Energy going forward, for which I am very grateful.” ~ Joe Kornowski

“I am still referring to the notes I took during my calls with Susan in 2008. 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).” ~ Sarah Nels

“I hired Susan at a time when I was doing a lot of soul searching about my future and much needed clarity about the path I wanted to take. I was looking for a coach that could help me get out of the analysis-paralysis and tap into possibilities that were about what I’d like to do, rather than what I should do.

I found Susan’s approach to be creative, unconventional, thought-provoking, and challenging. One of things I most I appreciated while working with Susan, was her ability to hold firm and not tell me what I wanted to hear. I found lots of surprises along the way; possibilities that I thought would be great for me, turned out to be really stressful when I actually imagined myself taking them on. Susan helped me identify an authentic, responsive, liberating path towards my future work. I came to Susan looking for clarity and I have it (as well as a few handy tools to help me work through similar questions in the future).

I would highly recommend Susan as a coach. Susan’s experience and skill set, combined with intuition and talent, enable her to offer coaching services that are truly unique and effective.” ~ Ksenya Ruban
