Ready to Live in Your Full Power?

Working with Susanne Goldstein had great impact on the trajectory of my company and my personal path.

Her work as a business consultant and coach allowed me to see how I was limiting my own possibilities as a leader and influencer and helped me clear some important roadblocks so that I could realize more of my potential.

For anyone who is interested in living and leading in their full power, I highly recommend engaging with Susanne.

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.

People & Teams Work Better Together

Susanne has the rare ability to take broad ideas; some baked, others decidedly doughy – and to crystallize them into concrete and effective concepts, messages, designs and models to make people and teams work better together.

Helping the Person Who Helps Everyone Else

After a phenomenal career in television, where I had achieved so much, launched shows and careers for others, I found myself standing at a wall, completely stuck. I wanted to change, needed to change but was literally unable to move.

The helper needed help. I asked a friend to introduce me to someone smart. He said he knew someone who was incredibly smart but not in televison. Smart is smart. Show me someone who doesn’t know what I know.

There is nothing typical about me - I’m quite self aware- which made me a terrible student for a coach. Susanne got me- because she had been there, done that.

She is a rare combination of creativity and intellect- usually you’re one or the other. She is constantly searching, learning and evolving. Susanne got me to think about my career in different ways. I was so much more than one job, one title and one revenue stream. Susanne was able to work with me and speak my language. Make the call.

Army Vet to Company Exec

As a career Veteran, making the shift from military to civilian life after decades of service isn’t a straight line.

I hired Susanne Goldstein as a coach after reading her superb book, Carry a Paintbrush: How to Be the Artistic Director of Your Own Career.

Through our coaching, I learned how to tell my unique stories in compelling and relatable ways, translate my military experience into operational and managerial corporate positions, and develop the confidence to build a robust network and business life.

Susanne is an outstanding listener, problem-solver and counselor. I could not recommend her more highly to anyone who is looking to improve their career, their work and their life.

Helping Startups Get Their Sh*t Together

Susanne had a huge impact on our startup, initially coming in to help us with some high-level strategic planning, and subsequently wearing many different hats in strategy, operations and product management. In the midst of all this,

Susanne also used her valuable coaching skills to help us manage a number of personality and communications issues. I found it particularly impressive how Susanne could span the full spectrum from strategizing about fund raising, down to keeping us all working efficiently by managing meetings and product roadmaps.

Susanne was … was absolutely essential to our success moving forward.

When Susanne came into our organization, we had projects that were in literal disarray. There was distrust and discomfort and many basic misunderstandings that were threatening our success. Through honest, open discussions, Susanne was able to clarify the misunderstandings, bring us to a new agreement about working together, and was absolutely essential to our success moving forward. She was literally a “change agent”
