I was a highly reluctant and skeptical coachee. And I’m a complete 180 on that now. Coaching led me to have a more open mind to life in general, which has opened me up to so much professional and personal growth. I hear people better. I have more productive conversations - at home and work. Coaching recalibrated how I do dialogue. My relationships are better - even with people I disagree with.

Sue used an approach that is the most elegant simplification of core human tendencies that I’ve ever experienced. It removes the mystery of where our patterns of unhelpful protective behaviour come from. It is uncannily accurate. When we all have this base understanding we can have compassion for each other AND have the frank conversations we need to without being afraid of each other’s reactions. Doing this together is the most powerful way to do this as an organization. We are having conversations now that we were never able to have before. There is more respect for each now, as humans.

Group Programs

Disrupt “learned today, forgotten tomorrow.” Awaken applied learning that lasts.

Group programs and workshops focus on experiential and applied learning that carries directly over into work and life. Programs range from brief introductions, to months long programs, according to need.

Group programs combine the best of training, with the best of coaching. Small groups meet at regular intervals on a particular topic. Each session has a focus area, with related self-study readings, a live group coaching session, and on-the-job practice assignments.

Common Outcomes

Deeper comprehension of specific topics.
Increased skill and capacity
Meaningful connections and peer-supported leadership development, that build resilient and adaptive leadership networks

Sue’s training was hands-down the best training I have attended in a long time. It is rare to leave a training with new tools that you feel confident to put to use right away, but I have been able to do just that, and see immediate results.

I have a better ability to block outside distractions when I need to take a second to reset myself. I’ve also developed the habit of resetting whenever I can feel my anxiety levels rising. I’ve begun taking on more challenges that I would have avoided previously out of fear of embarrassment if I didn’t do well. Overall, my stress level has steadily decreased as I’ve worked through the program even though the workload increased.

There are other ways that I work with individuals and within organizations, including:

Coaching changed my life. My base feeling used to be anxiety - all the time. I felt like I was in hiding, had lost my voice and was traumatized by what was happening. I don’t feel like that anymore. I’ve found my voice. I’ve learned how to stop avoiding and deal with things - especially people!

I was curious about coaching, but not sure how it would benefit me. After working with Sue, I realized how much I have grown as a leader and as an individual. I come to Sue with a problem - both short and long term. She doesn’t get in the weeds. She pulls it up to a higher level and helps me to see root causes, not symptoms. And so we land up solving the problem together - and in a way I am comfortable with and in a repeatable manner. It's a strategic way to keep growing.

I was burnt out from all the firefighting and a lot of difficult conversations, not seeing much of a future for myself, and taking things very personally. Now I’ve been promoted, I had the conversations about my career and future that I needed to, I’m engaged in transformational projects, I have a lot more energy AND I have a better relationship with my partner. Coaching really helped me shift both how I communicate and my mindset.

I was skeptical, hesitant and an unlikely coachee! I wasn't convinced that coaching would be effective. How wrong I was. I had many many breakthroughs.I had become a secret-keeper. And that habit was keeping me stuck, silent and afraid. Sue got me to name my fears, address them and work with them. Her intellect, vast knowledge, gentle nature and, - very importantly, having been in the trenches herself - makes her incredibly sensitive and helpful.
