Flourish as a leader in today’s changing workplace.
An Executive EQ Stakeholder Centered Coaching® program to grow your emotional intelligence.
A holistic approach to leadership development. Mind, Brain, Body, Emotions, Relationships.
Real science. Real change. Real impact.
Navigating the Changing Leadership Landscape is hard.
Shifts in workplace dynamics and societal trends are placing new and greater expectations on executives.
Is your team reacting to the latest demand without a clear understanding of the problem?
Do you experience frequent misunderstandings, backchanneling, and the accompanying frustration?
Are relationships impeding progress instead of accelerating it?
Have you received confusing and conflicting feedback on your leadership that feels off-target?
Are rising stress levels overwhelming you or taking a toll on your health.
Forward-looking leaders align their people around purpose-driven work, create a sense of belonging, approach problems with a balance of reality-testing and optimism, approach people with a balance of humility and humanity and foster employee emotional well-being.
Did you know the most successful executives rate high in stress tolerance, optimism, and happiness?

This provides you with a transparent, measurable, actionable plan that makes blind spots visible and closes the gap between your intentions and others' perceptions. Here are some of the benefits:
Improved self-awareness: helps you understand your biases, unconscious filters, and emotional triggers. This self-awareness allows you to recognize how your emotions influence your thoughts, judgment, decision-making, and interactions. Understanding yourself better allows you to manage your emotions more effectively and make informed choices.
Enhanced empathy: helps you understand the different perspectives and experiences of the people around you. You’ll be able to recognize and acknowledge different points of view, concerns, and needs. This empathy fosters better relationships, trust, collaboration, and an inclusive work environment.
Effective communication: you’ll learn to communicate more effectively because you’ll be able to recognize and regulate your emotions during conversations. You’ll be better equipped to express yourself clearly and listen actively to others.
Emotionally aware leaders connect with their team on a deeper level, communicate openly, build trust, resolve conflicts, make better decisions, and promote employee engagement and well-being.
By strengthening emotional intelligence skills, leaders can create a collaborative and supportive work environment that facilitates change and promotes the growth of their people and organization.

As a result of the EQ coaching with Susan, things are moving in the right direction. My direct reports and peers feel more energized after our interactions. The team is more relaxed and engaged.
