What Clients Say
Jessie Swisher Spiers: Executive Director at Seattle Humane
“If you’re either going through a transition or have a perceived notion of what needs to happen next – this is the perfect time to work with Suzanne. To gain the confidence of being in that messy middle, helping clarify what your goals and ambitions are, and then being open to things that might surprise you. Suzanne is an excellent guide in terms of exploring directions that you may not have anticipated.
I think anyone who leads a team, anyone who is professionally ambitious and has aspirations, can certainly benefit from working with Suzanne. She provides incredible support and guidance through professional development.”
Senior Director of Operations Training & Learning, Global Biopharmaceutical Company
“Suzanne is incredible. She draws out of people who they want to be and has a way of leading that person to understand that they're the one that is accountable for making the changes. Suzanne helps them to explore, integrate what they learn into who they are, and make it a part of their every day as opposed to a checkbox exercise.
I would work with Suzanne every day of the week and bring Suzanne into the business if we had the budget.”
CFO, Global Media Company
“Working with Suzanne allowed me to start thinking about things in ways I hadn’t considered before — challenging my own preconceived notions about me. One of the most powerful moments was when Suzanne asked me to think about whether I was running from my own power. Wow! That question is one that’s made it into my daily repertoire and has really helped me challenge myself with confidence and curiosity.”
Senior Marketing Director, Harvard Business Publishing Education
“Suzanne is hands down the best coach I have experienced throughout my career. Her methodology and process are effective, she is very resourceful and has a way to guide you to achieve your particular goals. I appreciated her honesty and openness, and her ability to hold back from jumping onto a solution, rather helping me get to a resolution myself. Working with her was a pleasure!”
Executive Director, Transformation & Technology Innovation, Financial Services Industry
""I really enjoyed Suzanne’s enthusiasm, positivity, and energy. She understands very quickly what the challenges are, what we're trying to accomplish, and what our objectives are. She fits seamlessly in as a team member who simultaneously empathizes with the organization, but brings a lot of strategic thinking and a lot of value.
Suzanne has a wealth of business experience and a nice, varied background. She understands business operations and training. She can lead a facilitated session and she can have the charisma to command people's attention and to listen to her.“
Randy Karr: Partner and CEO of Spur Reply
“Suzanne has been a valuable part of determining process and communication of our company’s 3-year strategic planning. She has a depth of knowledge and experience that pushed our team forward in a way that made the process quicker and smoother.”
Senior Product Executive, Educational Business Publisher
“Three words I’d use to describe my experience with Suzanne:
Working with Suzanne was meaningful because the work we did together is really about my whole self — our partnership went beyond the scope of just work.
My work with her was challenging. If you're taking it seriously and you're working with somebody who is helping you to take it seriously, it's hard work and it's worth it.
Transformative: because I really do feel like a different person on the other side of this journey.”
Lenora Edwards: Founder of Lenora Edwards Business Development Consulting
“Suzanne walks her talk as the communications expert. Naturally curious and playful, she makes it FUN to immediately implement techniques worth learning. Her facilitation style is polished and personable. She is a model communicator.”
Working with Suzanne was an enlightening experience and one that I can wholeheartedly endorse.”
