"VantageShift coaching was transformational and led me to feel a sense of achievement. Suzanne was able to direct me towards the root of my challenge and next steps that are actionable.
Suzanne's coaching style comes across as innate with a strength that lies in her ability to ask extremely thoughtful questions, both regarding the content of the questions and their timing. She is kind and warm and able to create a space that feels in every sense of the word: safe. I’m grateful for our time working together."
Georgianne Papacostas
Customer Success Executive
“I’ve worked with Suzanne as a leader and as a coach. As a leader, Suzanne inspires individual and team performance through developing trusted partnerships and cultivating an environment for personal development. As a coach, she brings those skills to her practice along with empathy, deep listening, the ability to ask the right questions, and feedback that combine to help me achieve my goals.”
David Rodgers
Sr. Operations and Enablement Manager
"VantageShift coaching is transformational. As a business owner with a full personal life, I am usually juggling multiple conflicting priorities. Suzanne has been instrumental in helping me to clarify my business and personal goals. No matter where I start our coaching conversation, Suzanne’s thoughtful questions elicit what matters most to me and focus me on actionable next steps. I’m now better able to direct my energy to work that is positively impacting my business."
Keri Mechling
Business Owner
“Suzanne's collaborative, positive and insightful approach has changed the way I view myself, my career, and my professional relationships. She has a powerful way of asking questions that illuminate the ‘why’ behind my feelings and behaviors, and through this has helped me create a customized toolkit for leading based off of my own strengths and development goals. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in career growth, increased self-awareness or refining their leadership skills.”
Elise Vogels
Operations Manager
“VantageShift’s coaching focus reflects Suzanne’s success in evolving her own career. She has extensive experience managing transitions ranging from marketing and product management to project management to multiple customer-facing functions. A natural coach, Suzanne has a gift for guiding people to draw on their unique styles and strengths, to become better communicators and leaders, and to find their true calling.”
Cynthia Dai
CEO
“When Suzanne told me that she earned her certification as a coach, I was not at all surprised. She is a natural! As an integral part of my leadership team, she coached her team to achieve stellar performance, her colleagues to become better leaders, and me to navigate the labyrinthine ways of working of a large organization.
Suzanne’s genuine interest in people and collaborative style coupled with deep listening and spot-on questions give her the ability to draw out the best in others.”
Pat Petroskey
Tech Executive
“I have known Suzanne as a co-worker and as an excellent leader. Reconnecting with her could not have happened at a better time. I wanted to play a more active role in the decision making through a structural change at work. I needed guidance to figure out what I really wanted and on how to handle conversations.
With VantageShift coaching, I built a methodology to inspect myself, break down my thought process, and understand how to better communicate with peers and management.
Suzanne is a great listener, open-minded and warm. I can openly share my thoughts with her. Because of Suzanne’s experience as a leader, in different sized companies, and working with people from different backgrounds, she shares personal insights that I found valuable. Her broad exposure and just the right questions helped me gain perspective into situations that I previously could not have in the past.”
Sherif Louis
Advisory Sales Engineer
“I had the privilege of working with Suzanne as my Career Coach, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Suzanne's guidance and expertise were instrumental in helping me craft a compelling career elevator pitch and preparing me for interviews.
Having known Suzanne from her previous role as a mentor, I was thrilled when she agreed to be my Career Coach. Her dedication to helping others succeed in their careers is truly commendable. Suzanne is not only knowledgeable but also kind, positive, and an exceptional listener. These qualities create an environment of trust and encouragement, making every session with her a valuable and enriching experience.
She provided tailored advice, honed my interviewing skills, and equipped me with the tools I needed to stand out in a competitive job market. I am incredibly grateful for the guidance she provided on my journey to a successful HR career. Suzanne is a true asset to anyone looking to advance their professional life.”
