Praise for Sue

More Happy Shares

Sue is a gifted coach who listens deeply. What started as a career-focused coaching relationship to help me reset my objectives became an opportunity to reconnect with my whole self. Having worked with other coaches that sometimes latched onto a comment, leading our session down an unsatisfying rabbit hole, I found Sue’s wholistic approach, thoughtful preparation, and insightful observation the right balance of professional and intensely personal. This resulted in sessions that may not have covered what I wanted to discuss and ended up being what I needed to discuss (and hear and feel). Along the journey, Sue was a stalwart guide there to:
Remind me how far my journey had progressed when I felt like I was standing still;
guide me back when so many aspects of life were pulling In different directions, and
celebrate when I reached my desired “destination.”
If you are looking for a coach that understands both what’s needed to succeed in the boardroom and in life, I cannot recommend Sue more wholeheartedly.

… I remember when I first met Sue, she was so kind, calm, and patient with me. She had an army of resources to deal with the emotional trauma of being laid off, not getting that promotion, and the betrayal of colleagues. Sue used real strategies on how to move forward and really decipher what is next, by organizing my days with the 5 x 5 x 7 method to make sure I had structure. I was looking for jobs, networking with others, leveling up my certification, manifesting while staying positive, continuing to keep walking even when I didn’t know where I was going.

By collaborating with Sue and using all these strategies, I landed into a very high paying job in my dream role at PayPal with more than what I could have ever imagined!

After 3 months coaching with Sue, I got promoted within my current organization as a people manager and have clear career goals defined. I’m more self-aware. My confidence grew, I know I need to keep nourishing myself + have the tools to do so.

I truly enjoyed working with Sue because she offered the practical advice I needed to succeed in securing several offers. She is a great active listener listening to my struggles and finding collaborative solutions to move forward. Lastly, Sue is a true supporter of my needs. She is always focused on the small wins and makes them big wins to feel personally. This is important because, for me, I was kicked down so many times that I forgot to look at any win as being that.

Dr Tara Kristoff, Asst Legal Counsel, IL State Board of Education

… In my experience it is rare to find someone who is committed to seeing the whole story, and who has the knowledge, wisdom and capability to work with all the different facets of a person and their journey. Sue is one of those people, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants to find more of themselves in their work, or simply progress to the next step in their career. I am confident that she would be an excellent partner in that process.

Adam Schraedal, Software Engineer, Artist, NYC

I met Sue as a graduate student at MIT. At the time, I was switching careers and needed to think through the transition carefully and make my next move count. As my career advisor, Sue helped me navigate the entire job-search process: from finding out what I really wanted out of my career to thoughtful resume reviews, mock interviews and in-depth assistance evaluating job offers. Sue’s approach was holistic and tailored, and emphasized choosing the right career in the context of personal life objectives…I am glad that Sue’s decided to focus her time on what she does best: combining her understanding of people with her expert counseling skills…
