This Is What I Do

I work with smart, successful people who may be struggling with how to leverage a challenge or an opportunity in their professional life. That might be elevating their gravitas or ‘wow’ factor – being more influential and persuasive – or managing senior stakeholders successfully. I meet each client where they are and begin the journey of self-discovery and transformation.

Together we clarify the vision and everything we do together is in support of achieving that vision in tangible outcomes. The image below is how I do it. A tried-and-true methodology that helps clients reach their loftiest goals, gain more
confidence and feel a whole lot lighter in their life.

This Is What My Clients Say

It’s a privilege to play a small part in my clients’ life and professional journey. I can’t think of anything that’s more rewarding than having impacted their success in some way. Here’s what they say about their experience working with me.

Recently had a catch up & brief “laser” coaching session with Susan and was reminded of how much she had helped me grow professionally. By working with her, I was able to access and control aspects of my leadership and interpersonal style that I was not aware of, and this helped me work more effectively with teams and other stakeholders.
Would highly recommend working with her if you are looking for professional coach.

Gavin Kanan, Formerly Principal, KKR Capstone

I have worked with Susan at different stages in my career and found the experience really valuable each time.

Susan is such a wonderful executive coach. She is really insightful and helped me recognize and build up my strengths and work on areas of further development. We worked on senior board level stakeholder management, situational leadership styles and transformational growth strategies for business.

I highly recommend Susan for her coaching skills, particularly for people in leadership roles.

Jasmine Kaur, Director, Business Development, Marketing, & Communications, Asia Pacific, Baker McKenzie

As I was going back to work after a few years break in a new part of the world, Susan’s help was invaluable in getting my confidence back on track and becoming more aware of my strengths and (a few) areas for development. But above all, she is a fantastically warm and honest person and our sessions were always full of fun.

Kristin Thornsteins, formerly Vice President – Head of Development & Asset Management, Club Med South and East Asia and Pacific

A year into running my wellness business, I engaged Susan to coach me through the company’s expansion. My goals were to become adept at setting boundaries, improve my time management, and devote more hours to public speaking and writing as I continued building the business to serve more clients. First, Susan helped me clarify my aims and values, which led to better decision-making. As we progressed in our coaching together, I became increasingly confident about pursuing opportunities beyond client work and ended up landing several exciting seminars, public speaking engagements, and article publications. My team grew and, as I navigated the choppy waters of entrepreneurship in Singapore, Susan was both a lighthouse and a life preserver. At the end of our coaching engagement, I’d reached the goals we’d focused on together while becoming a better leader overall. An expert in powerful questioning and active listening, Susan is empathetic, energizing and resourceful. My sessions with her were time well spent and I treasured her candid guidance. Through coaching with Susan, my confidence skyrocketed and I finally began to use my voice. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Susan as both a coach and an authority in the field of coaching!

Aimée Pestano, Consultant I Writer I Coach I Director, Tangram Wellness

Susan is a fantastic business coach, providing flexible and sympathetic advice and guidance to help you to find your own way. I started working with Susan whilst I was in a role that didn’t offer any support internally. She was excellent at helping me to navigate some really challenging situations, providing support and guidance, but enabling me to get there by myself. She really understands people and her insights into behaviours and many different methods to handle various situations were invaluable. I learnt a huge amount during our time together and felt that she helped me to retain my sanity in some hugely challenging situations. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Susan again if I was in a similar situation.

Poppy Robinson, formerly Regional Director, Asia Pacific, Brey Leino Singapore
Susan took time to understand my need, and more importantly the style i preferred to interact with. She adjusted to make our dialogue trusted for me to open up more, and know when and how to push me to the discomfort when needed to provoke reflection and growth. The connection is beyond a transaction client-relationship. After the coaching duration, she continue to keep in touch with my development and offered to connect particularly during challenging time. Susan is not just a coach, she is a coach who genuinely wants you to succeed and thrive.
