Leadership Coaching
Being a leader means lots of impact. It can also mean tons of pressure as you juggle multiple priorities from strategic planning to managing the team to collaborating with other leaders on critical initiatives all making decisions with imperfect or incomplete information. On top of this, leaders often lack good feedback loops
Having an outside perspective from a coach can help.

”I worked with Suzan after joining an executive team for the first time. I learned so much. She helped me really understand my values as a leader and how to work within them. We worked on leadership styles and adaptability when working with others. These skills continue to be valuable. If you get an option to work with her, do it.”

Who We work with
We work with new leaders, experienced leaders in new organizations, leaders in scaleups, or those navigating organizational change.
Our clients are typically CEOs, COOs, CTOs and VPs.
Our approach
Our approach leads with a coaching framework and, given our founder’s experience as in organizational strategy and leadership, we blend in feedback and mentoring when it’s helpful. Rather than pretending we’re perfect, we believe that vulnerability and sharing mistakes is powerful. Sometimes sharing mistakes can help us feel less alone which is so important, especially for leaders who are often isolated.
How coaching works
Coaching works best when there’s a chemistry and a shared understanding between the two people in the relationship. Finding the right fit is essential. Before embarking on a coaching relationship, we’ll start with an introductory call so you can share more about your situation to see if we can help and we can get to know each other to see if we’re a match. If we decide that we are a fit, we’ll determine a cadence that works for you and your goals.
