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.
