“I met Susan during a challenging time for my business. I had made an acquisition 6 months prior and was just starting to realize it was a big mistake. I was struggling with culture clash in the organization, runaway costs, and a crisis of confidence. Susan’s guidance was invaluable and she acted as equal parts, coach, counselor, and friend. Through our work together, I was able to get focused on our best prospects for growth, make a number of difficult but important decisions, and get things back on track. Within months, our growth re-started and within 3 years our business had tripled in size and I had completed a successful exit. I took a village to make it happen, but Susan was integral in helping me pivot and get the recovery started.”

“Connecting with Susan Katz has been the most rewarding experience for my professional career, and ultimately my personal life! When I first started working with Susan, I was extremely skeptical of the process and the potential outcomes, but I was knee deep in analysis paralysis and needed a lifejacket – stat! Susan has been that voice of reason and support, a confidant who has not only helped me identify the baseline questions and their solutions, but then has also provided the connections and ideas to help me grow and succeed.
Through Susan’s group coaching, I learned achievable techniques to streamline my workload and better manage my team. These improvements then allowed me to spend more time completing my own projects, and ultimately, this meant I had the energy in the evenings and weekends to pursue things other than work! I would encourage anyone who is looking to improve their business or professional trajectory to reach out to Susan, and let her supportive and insightful demeanor guide them through the process!”
