You are an incredible leader and even so I don't know much, your devotion to the collective and the depth of your leadership is felt and seen. It is RARE and I am here for it!

Kiona’s Story
Oh my goodness!!! Seriously my heart!! You saw things inside of me that I could not see simply because they were just not a part of who I was. I didnt feel like anything special, but this is the part that held me back, not believing that I was special in the simpleness that made me...ME! I am forever grateful for all of it! Thank you for seeing more in me and showing me it was possible

Stephanie’s Story
love the intimacy in her containers and speaking directly to her has created a relationship where she really sees, hears and gets me. Her offerings have made it simple for me to be a part of her world. As I grow step by step level to level there is ALWAYS a place where I can fit in monetarily as well as educationally. Working with Susanne helps me to be a better person in every area. She has opened me up to looking outside of myself and back into the world where I had chose to shut out.
I loved this program Subscribed. It really illuminated the fact that although I am all in in my personal development, I am not all in my capabilities as a coach. It really opened up myself to seeing the big weaknesses I still have. I felt my shadows lurking, confusing me and doubting myself. Although I have moments of complete clarity for what I stand for and where I’m going, I also shrink back to “you don’t know anything, who my clients are and what I have to sell.” As I went through the homework I felt like I completely got it and could hone in on my expertise. Then I saw myself go completely down the rabbit hole. I am still going to go through it all again as I had such shifts in my energy.. Got it completely… then … don’t have a fucking clue.. I didn’t finish the complete assignment so going back without the time crunch will help me immensely. The clarity and realization that I am not subscribed in myself fully and I tend to procrastinate let’s me see the huge gap in why I’m not getting clients!! (Epiphany) I am excited to go back and redo all of the work again with this new insight. Working with Susanne has been a wonderful fit for me. Her no nonsense style of teaching pushes me to keep coming back. Her suggestions for me have been spot on and have been valuable in both my businesses. Her advice about adding Coaching on my restaurant menu was brilliant! I had my first male client show up the next day after I implemented that!!! She has helped me understand that I can grow two businesses simultaneously together feeding on each other️️️️️ I love the intimacy in her containers and speaking directly to her has created a relationship where she really sees, hears and gets me.

Working with Susanne helps me to be a better person in every area. She has opened me up to looking outside of myself and back into the world where I had chose to shut out. I know I am a better leader, woman, employer, friend, relative, partner and human because of her teaching. Whether you’re just creating a better life for yourself or uplifting EVERYTHING in your life DareHuman is the place you should be. I know it’s working in my life and can work for you too.

Carole’s Story
She activated our creative muses and all the participants created magic. I have signed up for 2 more of Susanne’s programs and can’t wait to see what cones of them! Thank you Susanne!
There’s a reason Susanne’s last name has gold in it because she is gold and through her skilled coaching, she coaxes gold out of her clients. I joined the program because a friend nudged me. I had no idea who Susanne was but in the 1st 5 minutes, I knew why and I was hooked! She asked us to create our own magazine cover and then the inside page of the magazine with our offerings. She activated our creative muses and all the participants created magic. I have signed up for 2 more of Susanne’s programs and can’t wait to see what cones of them! Thank you Susanne! You are a perfect blend of head and heart! - Carole Murko

Subscribed didn't feel like work, It was FUN. It was a creative and enlivening process that inspired me to see my badass future self, a woman who is ready to grab the reins and fly. Susanne is a gift beyond measure: smart, wise, grounded, genuine, and generous.
Boom. Like fireworks going off in my body! Subscribed lit me up, sparking ideas, trust in myself, and in the unique gifts I can bring to the world, Susanne combines the science of the brain with the magic of the heart. Not only did I find my "what," I found my "why," and It came organically. Under Susanne's brilliant guidance, I was brought back to my center, the place where my authentic power and purpose lives.

Vivian’s Story
Working with Susanne in the Lead Like a Woman program has been enriching and transformative. I would highly recommend it.
When I started the Lead Like a Woman program, aware of the commitment involved, I was hesitant in my approach given elements of ambiguity. Certainty, order and control gave me comfort. Trusting the time and effort would be worthwhile, was an additional a reservation.
Personal growth, particularly confronting aspects of oneself is uncomfortable. Choosing the right person or support system to help you with this is crucial. Susanne leads with authenticity, shares from lived experience, and fosters a space of trust and understanding. The work in the program requires honesty, vulnerability and consistency. What initially seemed significant no longer mattered as much. As assignments progressed, I began to change. Susanne provided the guidance and support I needed, to help me navigate this unfamiliar space.
I underestimated the negative ways hustle culture showed up in my life, learned what the need to be right actually cost me and how leaning back in various situations, does not change my construct. You are challenged to ask yourself what is more important, being or doing? This is a key aspect of fulfillment and how you choose to live your life moving forward.
I have learned I’m a lot more resilient than I thought, how to quiet my inner critic, and how to be more forgiving to myself. Moreover, delving into the "why" behind my choices can lead to more informed decision-making.
With Susanne's help, I have been given the tools for cultivating a balanced mindset and meaningful transformation. The impact of the Lead Like a Woman program will continue to unfold over time. I would highly recommend this program to anyone ready for personal and professional development.
Rebecca’s Story
Lead like a Woman has changed my life. The sisterhood and support is unparalleled. Do not miss the chance to experience Susanne’s dedicated guidance!
I believe that people come into your life when they’re supposed to, and everything happens for a reason. I am a firm believer in trust of this process called “life,” and I allow for intuitive guidance. I signed up for Lead Like a Woman, and days later, my father died suddenly.
I was hesitant that I could focus on personal growth during personal tragedy and with Susanne’s encouragement I leaned in and started the work. Lead Like a Woman is not a therapeutic group by any means, however, having a container was therapeutic for me.
So much of my personal and professional world was reflected back to me throughout the weeks of this program as the light continue to shine, and I continue to dive deeper. I felt supported by Susanne and the ladies in our group in my ability to process what I was experiencing in our sessions. It was extremely impactful and productive to have dedicated homework and focus time weekly on the material. Susanne’s leadership and guidance method is engaging and relevant. Her wisdom is vast, her support nurturing, and the tools I have taken away only continue to expand and flourish.
Throughout the many weeks I shared with my personal community as much as I could about my experience, as I felt like my growth was visible to them as it was to me. Newsflash, they agreed! One of the last sessions of Lead Like a Woman was days after my son‘s bar mitzvah. I joined the group from the beach with my earbuds in sitting next to my mother, with my sister, and sister-in-law, watching all of our children playing in the ocean. The preciousness of life was palpable in that moment.
One of the many gifts that Lead Like a Woman gleamed, is this awareness: By remaining open to change and growth, I have insurmountable power and the stillness that comes with being completely in the moment. I am in charge of my destiny, and can rise above life circumstances, and how to achieve any and everything that I desire. I believe everything happens for a reason, and I very much trust my intuition I feel as if I am in the driver seat now.
Jackie’s Story
The "a-ha" moments with Susanne are frequent and amazing - you are bound to be inspired and have behaviors in your life illuminated for the better to enable true growth to begin!
Before Susanne's coaching and the Lead Like a Woman program, I was focused on my own needs, goals and was quite self-centered.
I had a strong habit of judging those around me, which prevented me from working collaboratively in my professional environment, gaining the trust of my colleagues, and on the personal side, being open to meeting different kinds of people in my life.
The Lead Like a Woman program transformed my way of thinking, giving me the tools and insight to fully step into my power and feminine energy and make the choice of giving vs. taking.
I also learned how to control my own habits and behaviors to foster a deeper connection to those around me.
As a result, I am more effective in my personal and professional life and have a brighter perspective on the impact I can have.
The "a-ha" moments with Susanne are frequent and amazing - you are bound to be inspired and have behaviors in your life illuminated for the better to enable true growth to begin!
This is a course I would highly recommend to my coworkers and dearest friends who are willing to invest in themselves and take the next step to being the best "you" possible.

People & Teams Work Better Together
Susanne has the rare ability to take broad ideas; some baked, others decidedly doughy – and to crystallize them into concrete and effective concepts, messages, designs and models to make people and teams work better together.

Helping the Person Who Helps Everyone Else
There is nothing typical about me - I’m quite self aware- which made me a terrible student for a coach. Susanne got me- because she had been there, done that.
After a phenomenal career in television, where I had achieved so much, launched shows and careers for others, I found myself standing at a wall, completely stuck. I wanted to change, needed to change but was literally unable to move.
The helper needed help. I asked a friend to introduce me to someone smart. He said he knew someone who was incredibly smart but not in televison. Smart is smart. Show me someone who doesn’t know what I know.

She is a rare combination of creativity and intellect- usually you’re one or the other. She is constantly searching, learning and evolving. Susanne got me to think about my career in different ways. I was so much more than one job, one title and one revenue stream. Susanne was able to work with me and speak my language. Make the call.

As a career Veteran, making the shift from military to civilian life after decades of service isn’t a straight line.

Helping Startups Get Their Sh*t Together
Susanne had a huge impact on our startup, initially coming in to help us with some high-level strategic planning, and subsequently wearing many different hats
Susanne had a huge impact on our startup, initially coming in to help us with some high-level strategic planning, and subsequently wearing many different hats in strategy, operations and product management. In the midst of all this,
Susanne also used her valuable coaching skills to help us manage a number of personality and communications issues. I found it particularly impressive how Susanne could span the full spectrum from strategizing about fund raising, down to keeping us all working efficiently by managing meetings and product roadmaps.

Susanne was … was absolutely essential to our success moving forward.
Susanne was … was absolutely essential to our success moving forward.
When Susanne came into our organization, we had projects that were in literal disarray. There was distrust and discomfort and many basic misunderstandings that were threatening our success. Through honest, open discussions, Susanne was able to clarify the misunderstandings, bring us to a new agreement about working together, and was absolutely essential to our success moving forward. She was literally a “change agent”
