Susan Schoenberg

Philosophy

I believe that leadership, and life, is a continuous journey of growth, self-awareness, and impact. As a coach, I empower leaders at all levels to achieve excellence by fostering clarity, confidence, and action towards the work and life that calls to them. I bring a holistic perspective to coaching—one that recognizes the interconnectedness of well-being, leadership effectiveness, and organizational success. I help my clients cultivate resilience, enhance their decision-making, and create rewarding work environments where both individuals and teams can thrive.
