Testimonials

Rachel Francis, DVM
I cannot say enough good things about Sue, she “gets” us; she understands completely the difficulties we face and the challenges we have as veterinarians, owners, team leaders, and human beings. Sue is excellent at getting to the root of any human resource problem quickly and finding solutions that work in the short and long term. She works very well with team members and promotes understanding and relationship building. Sue has helped me through some very difficult times with my practice by greatly decreasing staff attrition and improving loyalty and job satisfaction; this was even more important during this time when we are understaffed as a profession. She was able to do more intensive consulting when we needed it, and then scale back to routine meetings to keep us “on the beam”. I know if we need her she is there for more help if we are in a crisis, and my practice manager and I use what she has taught us everyday. I plan to keep her as a key member of my team for a long time.

Elijah, Practice Manager
I’ve been meeting with Sue on a monthly basis for the last few years and have always come away from every meeting with new insights and an updated task list for both the minor and major obstacles in our profession. Sue is an absolute fount of information when it comes to achieving goals, managing staff, and prioritizing direction in the chaos that is daily veterinary life. Possessing a calming and empathetic demeanor, she has been able to help us resolve a great number of issues while providing a deeper understanding of how we can effectively grow our practice, our team, and ourselves. If anyone is on the fence about utilizing her services I cannot recommend her enough. After only one session with her I’m confident you will feel the same. Thank you Sue!

Andrea D. DVM
Sue is real, honest, and inspiring to work with. She has an innate understanding of the human condition and how someone's perception of self can affect their professional relationships and success. Every session with Sue left me excited, encouraged and empowered to move forward and improve my life. Her emphasis is completely to thrive rather than survive, which is a place many professionals fall into. Sue uses your goals and values to help you see how you may be limiting yourself and how you are completely capable of and are deserving of a life you want. I can't say enough about my experience with this woman. I do not even hesitate to call Sue a 'game-changer' or perhaps even a 'kickstarter' onto the path of thriving.

Steph T. DVM & Owner
Coaching has made a huge impact on my degree of self-realization. I have learned to be much more self-aware about how my words and actions might be affecting other people, or might be interpreted by other people. Changing that has been more of a challenge, but recognizing it has been the first step. I feel like I have learned to start being a better listener and empathizer. Lastly, I am learning to have some self-compassion. I am learning to set my own limits and boundaries and be okay with that. I am learning to say no and stand up for what I believe. It is all a process, that takes ongoing commitment but I have loved being coached by Sue!

Janine A. Senior Manager
Attentive, warm, insightful, encouraging and permission-giving. These are all words that describe Susan as a Life Coach. She is an amazing listener - she not only hears what I'm saying, but also pays attention to what I'm NOT saying, and to the body language going along with my words. This ability and intuition leads to her asking great questions to dig deeper - she never lets me get away with superficial. None of this is "for" Susan - as she has commitment to her clients, and wants us to grow in healthy ways, while letting go of unhealthy ways. She is strong but gentle. Encourages and cheer-leads, while also challenging at the right time. She is an excellent coach for cross-roads time in life! She helped me find the courage to move forward in the right directions, while leaving some of the "junk" behind. Thank you, Susan!

Dr. Betsy C. Associate Veterinarian
My experience with Sue was life-changing and life-challenging. It was not touchy-feely, it was real problem solving for a very real veterinary world. Her coaching made my foundation stronger to help me build the skills I need for the life I want to live. Everyone talks about work-life balance but through our talk Sue has gotten me closer to that 'balance' than I have ever been before. The ability to live in every moment and to become closer to truly loving myself is the most amazing gift Sue could have given me.

Catherine J. Intern Veterinarian
I had a wonderful experience working with Sue and I would definitely recommend her as a professional coach. She is compassionate, sincere, honest, and direct. Her knowledge from living around the veterinary profession is very helpful as she understands the challenges of the profession, and time is not lost explaining things that a “non-vet med” person wouldn’t understand. The resource she recommended was exactly what I needed (although I was skeptical at the time!), and it still helps me daily. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with Sue and for the continual growth it has provided me.

Ryan P. DVM
As a practice owner, I engaged Sue to help coach and mentor team members who are striving to improve their professional skills and provide some balance to their personal lives. Sue provides individual attention to each team member based on their personal needs. Our team members showed immediate results and Sue helped them develop a path geared to long term success. I would highly recommend Sue to any business owner or manager seeking to improve the professional and personal wellbeing of their team members!

Chris W. Real Estate Agent
Sue should be the Coach of the century! My experience with Sue has been tremendous, she has provided guidance and motivation where necessary but more importantly encouraged me to open up and talk through my experiences. Sue's coaching has improved my confidence, mental strength and communication skills and we continue to work towards my personal and professional goals.

Carlin J. Associate Veterinarian
My coaching experience with Susan was exceptional. I was highly skeptical that coaching would help me, but I would now say it was transformative. The work was hard, but relevant personally and professionally and was so worth it. While I miss my sessions with her, I know I have the skills to keep moving forward that so to Susan.
