There are few words of advice that have resonated as strongly with me as the ones Susan offered me in her capacity as my coach. . . Since being her client, my days are more purposeful and I have begun building a portfolio that I am proud of. She has a way of getting to the heart of what motivates you and helps you own the things that are unique to you, but she never sacrifices the practical matters of being effective in the world. . . .She truly cares about and believes in what she does. When you work with her, that passion transfers to you and then you can transfer it to your work.. . . I felt that when I was working with her I was asked to confront what was possible. . If certain practices in my industry didn’t serve me, why not challenge them instead of saying “That’s just the way things are”? That’s the mindset Susan helped me cultivate and it’s a mindset that empowers me everyday. It’s changed everything about how I work and how I see the world. I am forever grateful.

These past couple of months have definitely been transformative in more ways than one. When I first started the coaching cycle, I was beyond lost. I had no idea who I was, where I was going, or what I wanted. I was desperate for some clarity. And that's what I got in our coaching sessions. I leave feeling more confident in myself and in my voice. I leave with a defined path forward that I am excited about. And, I leave with a renewed sense of purpose.
Besides having Susan as an amazing support system and overall cheerleader, our coaching sessions taught me useful skills and tools to better navigate my personal and professional development. At times, I was pushed outside of my comfort zones, but those moments were incredibly instrumental to my growth as they taught me to dig deep to understand myself better, and in turn become more conscious in how to view, act in, and respond to the world. I learned to cut out the toxic "should" and listen to my inner voice. This helped me gain clarity as to what I want for myself, my career, and ultimately my future. I also learned better habits to set myself up for success, such as time management, manifestation, and meditation.
