“As a new leader in an evolving position in spring of 2020, I faced many challenges unique to that time and circumstance. The formal 1:1 coaching I received on a bimonthly basis with Susan Warwick allowed space for reflection and growth and helped me build confidence in my leadership potential. Coaching is not prescriptive, but a safe and encouraging space to better understand strengths and opportunities as a leader, develop professional aptitudes and the role itself. For me, it also helped me embrace the unique aspects of being a woman of color in leadership. Without coaching, despite the many other supports I received from other leaders and training at my organization, I don’t believe I would have had success or sustainability of my leadership role as Medical Director of Clinician Wellness. It has been an indispensable resource to me as a growing leader and I can’t recommend Susan enough.

“My coaching experience with Dr. Warwick was helpful and a good investment of time. Her non-judgmental and focused approach really helped me clarify what was important and what values I want to uphold in my leadership work. I find myself coming back to the core principles and values we developed and this has helped me remain more focused and effective . I would recommend coaching for any leader, whether you are thinking about new roles, you want to become more effective and satisfied with your current work, or you are facing challenges that you’d like to work through.”

"I am so grateful to Susan. Her calm, patient, creative questioning prompted valuable insights as I looked for clarity about my career options. I had been in a leadership role for many years and felt proud of what I had accomplished, but felt burned out by the workload. Susan helped me sort through my conflicting feelings and emotional baggage so that I could see my best path forward. I ended up feeling both more satisfied with the work I am doing now and more confident about my ability to take on a leadership role again in the future.
If you want to make career decisions that are in alignment with your values and goals--and avoid making decisions out of fear or a false sense of 'should'--I highly recommend working with Susan. She encouraged me to spend time on myself and think in depth about these big picture questions in ways I never would have on my own."

“I highly recommend coaching with Susan! When I started the journey with Susan, I did not know how valuable it would be. Setting aside the time and space to discuss ongoing issues at work helped me to work through those issues better than I would have on my own and helped me to come up with a plan on how to address these issues. I especially recommend coaching with Susan for medical leaders.”
