  • "She brings everyone along on a journey to complete work focused on one aligned vision."

    I’ve witnessed Susan transform a room full of engineers, construction leaders and operations folks. She brings everyone along on a journey to complete work focused on one aligned vision. Not only did she transform each of us in the room, she also gave us the tools to carry out the transformation in the field.

  • "She helped me build my confidence as a manufacturing supervisor and gave me tools to have difficult conversations."

    I highly recommend Susan's leadership coaching and development. When I was first promoted to a supervisor role, I struggled at times, due to lack of experience and soft skills. Through Susan's interactive coaching sessions, she helped me build my confidence as a manufacturing supervisor and gave me tools so that I could have difficult conversations. Her approach to coaching is fun and non-judgmental. She uses real life examples, and her advice sticks with you.

  • "Susan has what it takes to help any business experience talent success."

    I have been Susan’s coach since she began her education at UWGB. She impressed me right away with her tenacity in her pursuit to accomplish goals. I’ve had the pleasure of helping her navigate her career and I worked with her on projects in her higher-ed and private sector roles. Along the way I’ve watched her gain alignment with superintendents and higher ed professionals as well as evoke culture change across a manufacturing division. She has literally gone from business suits to safety shoes and back again. Susan has what it takes to help any business experience talent success preparing them to serve the needs of tomorrow’s customers.

  • "Susan had a passion for building great cultures in our plants, which was the real key to our success."

    Susan and I led the talent efforts across 7 manufacturing plants. Together we improved turnover, reduced waste, and increased EBITA through a comprehensive talent strategy. Susan understands the work, the skills needed, and how to place the right people in the right roles with individual development plans that set people up for success.

    Early on, Susan earned my respect through her dedication to quickly understand our challenges. Her experience walking in the shoes of hourly employees is as valuable as her education in her field. Building great cultures in our plants was the real key to our success, and it was something that Susan had a passion for. I have total respect for her and her unquestionable integrity.
