Vivian’s Story

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

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

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.
