CO-ACTIVE COACHING

Sue is amazing. She is a highly skilled, highly experienced coach and I am so pleased I chose her as my mentor coach as I launched my own coaching practice. After our very first session together I had already felt a big shift and the results kept coming. Sue is an empathetic listener with a direct, no-nonsense way of talking and injects warmth and humour into things. So coaching sessions are hard work (the kind of hard work that leads to real change) but the work is enjoyable not painful.

She is also a brilliant business mentor – full of practical, clear advice on setting up a solo business. 6 months later I am earning a decent living from doing something I love and a lot of this is down to the work I did with Sue. So, highly recommended and I am sure I will be back for more when I need it again.

Sue is just amazing.

I am so grateful for her CTI Business of Coaching session, where I had the opportunity to learn from an incredible mentor and coach. She is so knowledgeable, pragmatic and fierce. And also reassuring, empowering and supporting.

My coaching skyrocketed thanks what I’ve learned from her and from using some of the structures she uses in her coaching practice and so kindly shared. They are really powerful!

I recommend working with Sue wholeheartedly.

I’ve worked with Sue throughout my 6 month certification program with CTI, to gain my first accreditation as a professional coach. She also supported me as I transitioned my existing consulting business and launched my coaching practice in 2018.

I was immediately impressed by Sue’s professionalism and her practical, process-driven and highly strategic approach to coaching. This was vitally important for me and in alignment with how I work. I was also inspired by her success as a businesswoman and fellow professional coach.

As a coach, Sue is pragmatic, honest and good fun to work with! She was direct and always challenged me to step outside my comfort zone. This was balanced with plenty of championing and support as I worked towards my goals. The knowledge and experience that Sue shared was instrumental in helping me set the foundations for the success of my new business.

Coaching with Sue was worth every penny and I can’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re ready to make major, permanent changes in your business, career or life, Sue is the coach for you!

Sue supported me in making a significant career transition. I had a lot of experience in running large and complex organisations, but did not want everything else that went with that kind of job for some time. Sue helped me reposition myself, realise what was transferable and how it might be pitched to others. This was packaged it all within a new ‘modus operandi’ for living. Principally it was coaching, but that also included being held to account when there was a risk of going back to the familiar, or in doing something out of step with the values and ideals established with her guidance.

I’m now six months into a portfolio life, working across a range of clients and also now aiming to go beyond my previous areas of expertise. I am now much more in control over how I spend my time, and have a balance which has rarely been achieved for far too many years.

Recommend her very strongly!

Sue is a masterful and life-changing coach. She models what it is to be a woman truly living from purpose and as a client of Sue’s, I found that extremely inspiring. She has supported me to do the same for myself. Sue is living and modelling that which she is coaching all clients to do – as any coach should. She has challenged me where necessary and supported and championed my achievements along the way when I made progress. In less than a year, Sue has helped me figure out my life purpose and create a life of meaning. I would highly, highly recommend working with Sue.

The process of working with Sue is exceptionally structured and organised. You know that you are working with someone at the top of their game. Sue is a brilliantly focussed coach. She has a strong intuition and has the confidence & experience to follow it. As both a coach and mentor, Sue effortlessly jumps between both roles which brings great added value.

“Sue is obviously passionate about her work. Her clients have provided strong testimonials on their success as a direct result of her coaching. Sue has built a reputation that resulted in growth into larger organizations for executive coaching.”

“Sue is obviously a dedicated and experienced coach helping individuals to make significant and lasting change particularly in the area of corporate leadership – where constant change and challenges are inevitable.”

“Sue’s book, ‘Change your life in 5,’ is a reflection of her commitment to her unique method of coaching, which has obviously increased her visibility in the world of coaching.”

“Fantastic work Sue – it’s definitely obvious you’re a leader in your field!”

I was lucky enough to be the first to experience Sue’s Successful Coach Intensive and I only wish she’d had this on offer when I started my coaching business. In my opinion, it’s an absolute essential for coaches who have had training but need to understand how to make a successful business out of it.

On Sue’s one day intensive no minute is wasted, she gets straight into it bringing laser like focus to your offer, your USP, your clients, what their needs are and how you in particular can help. She helps you with a financial model and the types of products you can offer beyond one-to-one coaching. What’s more she teaches you the secrets to successful marketing as a coach.

Although I’ve had great success as a coach, Sue has given me the tools to push my business above and beyond what I thought was possible. Thank you Sue for an incredible day.

Sue demonstrates an incredible rigour in using the Co-Active model without failure. Her sharpness, creativity and raw power is poignant. Coaching with Sue really sharpened my understanding of what I want, and how I want it. She helped me identify my core skills, qualities and essence.  She also held me, and challenged me tremendously to get courageous, while also giving me ample space, clarity and openness to dream and create my plans.  I learnt from her how to use presence and voice as a powerful coaching tool, amongst many other tools.  I increased my clients by 70% and raised my fees twice while working with Sue.  I have also learnt about structure, holding the client’s agenda 100%, and being totally gutsy.  Sue herself  is gutsy, playful, creative and disciplined.  If you’re a Co-Active coach Sue is your best bet!

Before I started working with Sue, I saw things and dreams as difficult and uncertain. I felt so doubtful. My initial goals with Sue included getting two corporate clients during certification – but through working with her I have signed up many more than that! I also now have a clear road map, direction, and connection with my purpose. I now have more self-belief and I check-in and manage my saboteurs when they show up. I am also kinder to myself and take good care of myself. I have learnt that we cannot pour from an empty cup and that WE ARE ALL WORK IN PROGRESS 🙂

Working with Sue is a mix of coaching, accountability, lots of determination, tenacity and hard work. As a coach and mentor, I would highlight Sue’s boldness, courage and transparency. I also admire her non-attachment to the results, her authenticity and her determination.

I highly recommend Sue to any coach who is looking for serious business development and/or certification coaching and mentoring.

It’s nearly ten years since Sue was my coach while I navigated CTI’s certification programme. As I now approach my MCC, its still clear the work I did with her was instrumental in developing the foundations of the successful practice I have today. She challenged me fiercely with much love and compassion, to reach for a fulfilled life, believing in me more than I did at the time. She was witty, playful and yet always utterly sincere in her commitment to my success, which made each coaching session a wonderful journey of self-discovery.

I worked with Sue as I transitioned my existing consulting business and launched my coaching practice in 2018.

I was immediately impressed by Sue’s professionalism and her practical, process-driven and highly strategic approach to coaching. I was also inspired by her success as a businesswoman and fellow professional coach.

When I met Sue I was about to start my certification and at the same time, I was approaching a massive career transition. I had a lot of conflicting feelings, I was leaving an organisation I’d been with for 21 years, and looking back I was almost burnt-out. On top of all of that, as the income generator for my family, I needed to make my new career a success as quickly as possible.

Through working with Sue, I have absolutely made a success of my new freelance career as a coach and consultant, and also spend much more time with my family. My new career in coaching has really stretched me – and the coaching with Sue has really supported me in this process.

Sue has been an excellent coach for me. She’s been a great guide, teacher, champion and supporter.
