"A great coach enables leaders to get to the root of their inspirational power, harness it, and strive forward. My journey with Suzi was itself inspirational. The milestones along the way included seizing my power, finding my voice, and making a difference…. Suzi is not quick with an answer, but rather a probative question, that when answered builds accountability and ownership in the result."
