Hi I'm Susan, 'The Success Strategist', shoulder surgeon and certified High Performance™️ coach. As a surgeon, over the years I have interviewed thousands of patients, and through the consultation process, regular themes have emerged. Whether you are a C-suite executive, a legal or healthcare professional, or a working parent, time and again there is often an undercurrent of dissatisfaction that gnaws away at your baseline of happiness. Most people ignore the signs and carry on working through it, until their health or relationships deteriorate to breaking point.

It took me to hit rock bottom in my career to accept that I needed to change something. I lived from goal to goal, collecting degrees and achievements, but work politics brought an abrupt end to my career progression. After I was forced to quit that job, I felt I had wasted 20 years and it made me rethink my whole life. By accident, I found out about personal development, but due to my scientific training, I was very sceptical. But I was wrong. 

Personal development is an active lifelong process of self-improvement and self-discovery. It involves honesty, introspection, self-awareness, and intentional actions to find purpose in your life. Setting clear and achievable goals for your career, your personal relationships and your physical and mental health propels you towards being your best self.

Don’t wait for the trigger point to blow before you take stock of your life and put into action the strategies that will avoid a disaster.

Could you do personal development yourself? Possibly, but it could take years. Coaching accelerates the process and guides you to find the answers inside of you quicker.
