Susannah Baldwin, Ph.D.

Susannah Baldwin, Ph.D. is an executive and communications coach who combines her experience as a clinical psychologist with extensive corporate expertise to help clients hone the necessary skills to lead diverse teams in demanding environments.

She began her career in a leadership development consulting firm, in which she focused on building collaborative leadership skills with leaders in Fortune 50 companies. In developing those collaborative workplaces, she implemented large-scale corporate initiatives, designed and facilitated strategic and operational planning meetings, and coached emerging and senior leaders.

Susannah’s recognition that communication was a critical skill for leadership led her to leave consulting and move into the area of leadership communication coaching. During that time, she coached leaders and executives in the critical presentation and communications skills needed for their career stage.

Since 2010, Susannah has been focused on executive and communications coaching with a special focus on women’s advancement. Applying her research from clinical psychology, Susannah shows women how to recognize the ways in which they circumscribe their own power, and instead align their language and communications choices with their power, ambition, and authority.

Susannah is also a master trainer in the area of communication skills. She and a team of associates deliver a variety of workshops on communication—including Present with Impact, Storytelling that Sells, Selling to Senior Leaders, and Women, Language, and Power. Susannah is an experienced public speaker, moderator, and weekly radio show host.
