I will help you challenge those whispers that cause you to stumble in your career.
I support executives to live and work in more successful ways as I challenge their coping strategies, building relationships of trust and discretion.
My inspirational story of healing and wholeness will enliven the audience as I speak with brutal honesty of failing and falling and rising again.
Do you ever feel overwhelmed?
Do you have to manage in isolation at the top?
Do you ever feel out of control?
As an Executive coach I work with senior leaders to support them to get out of the way of themselves and be the best they can.
My 20 years’ experience working as an Accredited counsellor enhances my executive coaching (level 5 Institute of Leadership & Management) and ensures that my work is of a depth to benefit those who require a confidential, professional and discreet space to understand themselves.
I am known as a challenging coach who facilitates focus and change in all who work with me. I ensure that my clients are given the space to understand and thrive in life and the workplace. Goals that are set are refined and achieved as I take no prisoners with my gift of questions.
I can travel and meet you in your office whether in Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Maidstone, London or across Kent. Or even in a mutually agreed place, if you wish you can meet me in my office where I am based in Tunbridge Wells. There is no limit to location as I successfully do executive coaching sessions via Skype.
Please get in touch via the contact page on my e mail susie@thebespokecoach.com or my mobile +447968669648 if you would like a chemistry call to discover if I am a good fit.
I came to Susie for coaching on management and would highly recommend her. I became more aware of how I came come across and learnt to let go of things – always aiming to strike the right balance. I found Susie very easy to talk to and down to earth.
Susie’s coaching enabled me to bring long term goals into real goals rather than pie in the sky. We focussed on health and the importance to my family, this helped me to change my thought processes to I can and not just carry on with the same excuses. It was really beneficial and she was very easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend her.
I went to Susie when I felt that the pressures of work were becoming too much. Excessively long hours in a stressful job, not seeing my family from one day to the next and never having any “me” time, was having a detrimental affect on my ability to function, at work and at home.
I had no pre-conceived ideas as to what i wanted the sessions to achieve, I just knew that something in my life, or the way i reacted to it, needed to change. With an open mind I attended 6 sessions, and by the second session I was amazed as to how much difference it had made to every aspect of my life.
Susie’s approach of seeing past the words you use to answer a simple question allowed her to probe deeper into where perceptions came from and allowed me to open up to myself as well as her. We built a level of trust in such a short space of time that Susie was able to discuss past problems that I had long “forgotten” about and yet were still having an impact on every decision I was making in my adult life.
This has had a long-term benefit as I am now more aware of stress triggers and can accommodate fluctuations in my work/life balance much easier. I would strongly recommend Susie to anyone who needs to redress the balance and consider the benefits that can come in a relatively short space of time. It could be truly life changing.
Susie coached me on identifying my direction and aims, self management and to have a positive view of self.
She helped me to attune to my vision and sense of calling. I am now much more able to deal with negative thoughts and doubts and I have developed techniques to assist effective management.
Working with Susie was an inspiration; her exquisite blend of active listening and calm assertion was engaging and she’s full of insight and good old common sense.
I’d highly recommend her!
I came to Susie at a point in my life where I felt something was missing.
While I have a good job, beautiful fiancée I still felt lost with work stress and loss of my wonderful mother.
Coaching allowed me time to talk about things I wanted to talk about without feeling a burden to the listener.
It opened my mind more into believing that in some situations you have little to no control, no matter how hard you try.
Susie in genuine in her approach to coaching and will put you at ease immediately, I would always highly recommend her.
We came across “THE BESPOKE COACH” service when we were in the process of planning interventions aimed at tackling stress in the workplace in a view to supporting initiatives devoted to the prevention of the occurring of related mental health issues.
We have favoured a broad approach where the opportunity of relying on a bespoke, flexible and efficient coaching service gives us the confidence of providing our staff with valuable help.
In fact, Susie has always been available when we needed her and prompt on acting upon our staff’s individual needs and personal circumstances.
Feedback has been positive, with staff experiencing and reporting positive change in their lives. Many thanks!
This morning I was interviewed on various local radio shows across the UK. The reason; Faith in the world week @BBC radio. A poll by ComRes interviewed 1,003 adults by telephone asking the question: what is the most beautiful quality in a friend, partner or parent? The answer was very interesting. Who do you say you are? I am often seen as a professional woman, a coach and a therapist. But sometimes I am seen as an ex model, and for…
My journey as a coach has enabled me to understand what clients see as the strengths and qualities of a good coach. And to know what organisations want from the coaches that they use? For business it’s all about the bottom line. How they increase revenue and how they increase efficiency? However increased efficiency is not just about the need to stop wasting resources, it’s about not wasting people. It is about giving them the best opportunity to be all…
The autumn days are upon us. Days of hats and gloves. Fallen leaves soft after a downpour, or crisp underfoot lay on the ground. Driving rain, or strange hot October sunshine confuses us, as multi-layered as we face the uncertain climate. The possible chill of the weather against the warmth of the work-place. And so we dress for all possible eventualities. But it’s not just the weather that is changing. The political climate seems to be in uproar too, with…
Sheryl Sandberg wrote in The Wall Street Journal: women are leaning in but they face pushback. It was a fascinating read covering many aspects of women in business; the issues they face and the disparity between men and women. The fact is that we are 100 years away from equality in the C Suite: women are still living with imbalance. I have worked with a variety of women over many years, as a therapist and also as a coach. It…
I was inspired to write about the following after I listened to double Gold Paralympian Medallist Jonnie Peacock MBE being interviewed on BBC Breakfast this morning. I am in awe of these athletes who battle against the odds to achieve their dreams. He spoke of having a second where he lost his focus. He went on to win the race anyway, the T44 men’s 100 metres. He gained focus and looked ahead. How? The challenge of the focus. Coaching…
It’s Friday night, time I wrote my blog. I must keep on thinking of something interesting to say, to write. The thing is sometimes there is nothing left to say, or so it seems. Take today for instance, my spin class was great and I finally felt like I was succeeding. Sweat dripped from my head as I legged it home, jumped in the shower before driving to meet a friend for lunch. Drinking my tea I thumbed through a…
