Typical Challenges Addressed:

  • Career Direction: Working closely with the client, the coach aids in identifying their most fulfilling career direction whether it be within a company structure, non-profit, entrepreneurship or retirement.
  • Work Performance: The coach supports the client in making informed decisions about their current performance and how to best manage necessary changes moving forward.
  • Job Search: The job search encompasses interview skills, identifying available positions, and proper tool development for marketing the client to potential employers.

Testimonials

“Susan is an expert in this field, drawing upon her years of experience and detailed knowledge to create a unique individual program to suit her clients needs. I have experienced greater clarity as she has improved my work and personal performance dramatically.” – Debra M.

“Susan has a belief in her clients that I never expected to find. The skeptic in me feared judgment from my honesty. Susan never judged. Instead, she validated my feelings, put them in perspective, and empowered me to take ownership of my life.” -Maria D.

“Experiencing a coaching session with horses was rich and informative. The horses definitely provide an honest reflection of the issues that we, as clients, are working with; while Susan provides direct guidance and powerful questions to help us gain awareness and insight. With the horses, I learned so much about the way I lead both my self and others and how it’s perceived by “other” – in this case a horse – and in this non-verbal space, in the presence of this beautiful, humbling, wise animal, there was only pure energetic reaction from which I could learn and keep growing.” – Suzanne Ballantyne, Certified Health & Wellness Coach
