Leadership Coaching

Coaching is a partnership generating insight, business outcomes, and self-awareness.

 

The purpose of this unique relationship is to support leaders in focusing on and improving the execution of key functions of their role. It is also an opportunity for leaders to reflect on the personal leadership style and goals.

Coaching provides an opportunity to explore and improve in the following areas of leadership:     

  • Setting direction – Develop and communicate a clear vision and strategy

  • Building a team – Attract, retain, and build alignment

  • Developing capability – Identify gaps, hire, fire, and coach for performance

  • Managing stakeholders – Manage board, investor, and co-founder relationships

  • Inspiring commitment to the work and vision of success

  • Transitioning successfully into a new role and scope of responsibility

  • Demonstrating executive presence with key stakeholders

  • Advancing thought leadership in conference speeches and media interviews

“I find Susannah’s approach to be an amazing mix of insightfulness, warmth and pragmatism. She created a very safe space for me to share personal feelings and challenges which were standing in the way of my progressing in my development. I had more than one “aha” moment working with her. I would highly recommend her, especially for women and for professionals who are moving into expanded scope roles, whether stepping up to manage larger teams or new subject matters.”
