Strategic Planning

An international health care organization, University Research Corporation, needed to conduct strategic planning with staff from headquarters and field offices around the world. After completing a needs assessment with staff through interviews and an online survey, Susan facilitated a three-day retreat to discuss key issues and develop a practical action plan with group and individual commitments.

Executive Coaching

The staff of a senior manager at a federal agency was frustrated with her management style. As Susan coached her, she recognized that her rigid and demanding ways had a negative impact on her staff ’s productivity and motivation. Susan used powerful questioning and 360-feedback from co-workers to guide the manager to discover the answers she needed. After changing her managerial approach, her staff said that she was more approachable and flexible, and as a result, they decided not to leave the organization for other jobs.
