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.

Coaching is a great investment in yourself.
Sue was an incredible guide in helping me get back on track professionally. After closing my start-up, I felt lost and unsure about my next steps.
Through our coaching sessions, Sue helped me reconnect with my essence and gave me the tools to recognize the areas that were holding me back. Thanks to her support, I was able to generate several new opportunities and, more importantly, develop the mindfulness to recognize patterns that could either hinder or fuel my growth. Thank you, Sue. It was truly wonderful working with you.
Jhanny Rumpf, Product Management Leader/Entrepreneur, Holyoke, MA
Sue is an extraordinary blend of inquisitive, intuitive, pragmatic, and loving. She cares genuinely, acts compassionately, and has a rare ability to listen with attention and respond with immediate insight.
Having worked with Sue across acutely turbulent periods in my career and personal lives, I recognize her deep and lasting impact on my self-awareness, growth, and evolution through these moments. In each instance I have come away feeling seen, understood, validated and, most importantly, energized and connected to my holistic self. This is the gift of Sue’s unique and multi-disciplinary approach: she quickly detects that which is at the core of the issue at hand, sees it with you in real-time, and guides you gently (and firmly) to that space of inner clarity and conviction.
This is Sue’s heartfelt contribution to the world, and I am delighted and grateful to call her my coach. I admire her work, recommend her highly, and hope to continue journeying together with her for many exciting years to come. Thank you so much, Sue!

Sue was my career coach during a critical career transition, as I was searching for a new job after being laid off in a relatively new field for me. She not only was available and deeply knowledgeable about all the logistics of the process, how to interview, network, prepare resume materials, etc. but she was incredibly powerful in how she helped me with the much more important part – integrating the life journey that I was on and the whole self that I was working on into the process of finding a job that would be right for me in this time of my life.
Working with Sue, I was a person who needed a job, rather than a worker expected to take certain career steps separate from the rest of life. I was also an individual to her – she became well-acquainted with my personality and communication style, we regularly discussed my personal strengths and challenges I needed to overcome, and the entire process was tailored to my needs throughout the experience. It mattered more to her that my concerns were resolved and understood than that she follow a standard program. The biggest obstacles for me were personal in nature: facing fears or self-doubt, and stepping out of my comfort zone to network or confidently present myself in interviews and other situations. Sue was an incredible person to have on my side as I worked through these, offering support, wisdom and encouragement the whole way through.
I ended up finding a job that was just what I needed – I am working with great people, my financial requirements were met, and it’s a great position for this part of my career. Not only that, but I have grown personally from working with Sue, which is evident in how I work and how that has affected the rest of my life.
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.

Sue considered my whole self and got me out of a job search rut. After just our first meeting, Sue helped me feel so much more hopeful and excited about my future possibilities. Each session gave me new insights both about myself and my values, and also practical tips on how to network and “get the job”. During our calls, I always felt listened to and understood. I highly recommend Sue as a coach if you are looking for direction in any part of life!
Amanda T, Software Engineer & Artist, Bay Area, CA
Working with Sue Wang has been a gift. She offers so much insight, compassion, and enthusiasm and used it to meet me exactly where I was when I began career coaching with her. Sue listens deeply and is very knowledgeable in her responses. After just six sessions, with her guidance I was able to take apart the walls I’d found myself trapped in and use the pieces to form a new path.
Mary P., (transitioning) Teacher, Tacoma, WA
11 months ago, I had been laid off, was going through a traumatic experience with two managers, who pretended to be allies, had lost three family members, including the matriarch my grandmother and was walking into summertime losing my livelihood.
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!
Khadijah White, Senior Design Program Manager, PayPal, El Cerrito, CA
As a middle-aged professional I was thinking about a career change. Sue never pushed hard, instead she helped me to focus on my own strengths and listen to my inner voice. Ultimately, we are responsible for our own path forward. Sue helped me to reconnect with my greatest passions and strengths.
Kip E, Photographer and Expedition Leader, CA
I wanted to thank you again for guiding me through this career transition and pivot process. Thank you for helping me learn more about myself – my values, needs, wants, and strengths – thank you for motivating me to network and to put more trust in myself.
Julia K, Software Engineer, Boston, MA
Sue helped me prepare for a career transition by offering me ways to figure out my own strengths and giving me tools to present them to others. At the end, I had a much stronger resume that was crafted to highlight not just the things I did, but showed the impact of my leadership and management skills. She helped me change my perspective on my current role and where I wanted to take my career next. This process offered insight which gave me more confidence to pursue a new career.
Josh K, Business Admin Professional, Boulder, CO
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.
Carol, VP, Fortune 500 Healthcare Firm, NY
After 3 months coaching with Sue, I got promoted within my current organization as a people manager and have clear career goals defined. I am more self-aware. My confidence grew, I know I need to keep nourishing myself and have the tools to do so.
Martina M, Supply Chain Leader, Major Tech Firm. Bay Area, CA
Sue’s experience and insight in the area of career development is profound. Time and again, I had the pleasure of receiving the benefit of her considerable gifts, as she placed her expertise in the context of my values and goals.
Margaret P, Metaphysical Teacher & Author. Mendocino, CA
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. Once I started getting job interviews, Sue personally researched the companies I was applying for and prepared realistic mock interviews. And when the offers started coming in, she took a thorough look at them and gave advice for assessing and negotiating the terms, including salary and non-compete aspects.
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. As an immigrant who’s persevered, attended and worked at some of the most prestigious institutions (Wellesley, Harvard, MIT, Dartmouth), Sue has a wealth of experience to draw from and knows the paths to success inside out- but also knows what truly matters.
As for me, I am two years into the job that I accepted while at MIT. I still turn to Sue for advice navigating the workplace and improving my effectiveness (relationships with colleagues, managers, lateral moves within the company, etc), and have no doubt I will consult with her again as I advance in my career.
