My Coaching Mission
To open pathways to growth for professionals at every stage in their career.
GrowForward Coaching + Consulting was founded to support job seekers and emerging-to-senior managers understand their strengths and gifts, uncover what holds them back from full engagement, and put learning into action to get sustainable results.
My experience as a former people manager, HR partner, and management consultant -- combined with my intuition and trust in my clients -- informs my practice. I will help you (or your team) show up and shine your light.
Susan is very motivating.

I can't recommend Susan enough.
Susan asked the right questions in the beginning to know exactly how to work with me, and molded her program to fit my needs. I had been job hunting for over a year, and I was really struggling. After three months of working with her, I was calm and confident in what I had to offer a potential employer, and her guidance helped me land the right job at the right time!
