Testimonials
I appreciate the advice and support of Susanna as I transitioned from the role of corporate executive to entrepreneur. Susanna is not only a highly effective coach and teacher but was invaluable due to her personal experience in starting, growing and managing a business. As a successful businesswoman she provided advice on refining my business model, defining the services I provide, developing my infrastructure as well as perfecting my pitch. She helped me to explore networks and identify critical partners. Her guidance has been instrumental in my decision to expand my business and take a new path!
I was very pleased with how Susanna took my various experiences as an entrepreneur and pieced it together to showcase my strengths and capabilities as an executive in a cohesive manner. My profile on LinkedIn is also very appealing. I would highly recommend Susanna’s services. She will guide you on the positioning of your brand.
As an inventor and artist, I felt that I needed to find a job but Susanna guided me to see that I needed to follow my passions and the work would come. I believe that I’m doing what I’m meant to do. I have found my vocation and I get joy and fulfillment from the inventions I create to help people. I’m extremely happy with my engagement with Susanna and she also rebranded my experience in a very professional bio, resume and profile that is in line with my career aspirations.
Susanna is a great leadership coach and she helped me realize my self-worth. She gave me the courage to leave my job and start my own firm. She also elevated my experience in my resume and profile and coached me to navigate difficult and uncomfortable situations at my company. I’m so grateful I found Susanna. Again, thank you for everything.

I found Susanna after I sold my Business and was at a crossroads in my life and didn’t really know what I could do as all I knew was publishing. Working with Susanna, I discovered the many skills I had developed as a business owner. She gave me a voice to position this experience into coaching small businesses what I’ve learned. With her patient listening, coaching and guidance, I’ve found a way to market myself that I could not have found on my own.
I was fortunate to find Susanna through LinkedIn. Initially I engaged her services because I wanted to return to employment after being in business for myself. I was feeling that I had taken my business as far as I could go. Susanna helped me discover that I’m an entrepreneur at heart and I needed to freshen my business model and develop new service offerings to diversify. I came out of our coaching engagement with a renewed sense of my abilities and passion for why I got into business in the first place. Working with Susanna I began to see myself as a leader and gained more self confidence. I’ll be back to Susanna for ongoing support and guidance in retooling my business.
I was most appreciative of Susanna’s support transitioning from consulting for many years back to an executive position. She helped me identify and articulate my value in the marketplace and drew out these in my new resume which is really outstanding. She was more than a Career Coach but also an Executive Coach and Business Coach, guiding me on how to close the deal. I appreciated her strategy for compensation negotiation which resulted in me getting everything I wanted. I’m most satisfied and will be using Susanna’s services in the future
