"Susan became my extra set of eyes. She helped me evaluate my situation, assess what was going on, and clearly see how to reach my goals."
Cheryl Jefferson, Author

"With humor, heart and candor, Susan has inspired me to be comfortable with my own personal power and face inner challenges with confidence. The Kolbe process has helped identify my strengths. Susan has helped me realize how by staying focused on those strengths, and stretching beyond my own inner boundaries, I can achieve personal and professional success. I am on my way to having my best sales year ever."
Wendy Porter, Financial Sales, Snider, Fuller & Associates

"Through coaching I came to see more clearly that I really love my job and what I needed to do was shape the workplace to fit my vision. This has happened in concrete ways. Goals have been attained and I know now that I will shape the future of our health center."
Dr. Gregory Vachon, Physician and Medical Director, Cook County Bureau of Health Services

"Coaching has given me the tools to separate my business from my life. As an owner of a small business, I was totally enmeshed in the business to the point of not being able to put the business down on off time. Since I began coaching with Susan, my perspective is clear and my business goals are in focus."
Jan Schunk, Owner and Director of Operations, Carmel Music & Entertainment

"I started working with Susan to improve my job performance. Susan had me examine myself, my values, my core beliefs. I realized that I wasn't only struggling through my work days, but that I wasn't really enjoying myself away from work either. Through my work with Susan it became abundantly clear that I needed to make life choices in line with my values. Susan supported me every step of the way and if it weren't for her I would not have made such fast progress making significant changes and getting my life back on track. My work and my life are now aligned with my values and beliefs and I now live my life with more joy and ease."
Kate McDonald Sergeant, J.D., Associate Director Planned Gifts, The Alzheimer's Association
