Coaching Style

Building on her own experience in change management across different sectors and regions Susan became a coach and facilitator in Leadership & Team Development in 2010. Susan’s perceptive and thought-provoking coaching style supports her clients to pivot in their thinking and behaviours in order to increase their personal development and create space for innovative thinking.

Special Interests

Susan is an advocate for achieving excellence through Strengths and building Strengths based organisations and teams. She is one of the first Hong Kong coaches trained and certified by the Gallup organisation to provide in-depth coaching on the StrengthsFinder results. She also designs customised Strengths’ Team Workshops to enable leaders to capitalise on the group’s strengths to achieve their shared goals.

Background

Susan’s own regional background within the context of global organisations and coaching enables her to assist both senior and rising leaders in Hong Kong and Asia Pacific with their own specific challenges, such as:

  • Enhancing self-awareness of individuals and groups through coaching & facilitation to leverage their strengths daily rather than primarily focused on fixing weaknesses;
  • Mastering the core competencies of global executives (including managing diverse and dispersed teams, communication, fostering collaboration and innovation, influencing stakeholders, recognizing cross-cultural expectations, and setting boundaries);
  • Gaining personal career traction and developing executive presence;
    Adapting leadership style to meet new challenges and changing expectations;
  • Managing in virtual teams with regional responsibilities.
