Her management experience and style has proven very effective in mentoring staff, mediating conflict, and ensuring that people are given the opportunity to grow and thrive. Her training as a professional business and life coach at the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching provides the formal training, structure and toolset to support what Sue has been offering employees and peers for many years.

Sue and I became associated at a difficult point in my life. I was displaced from a company that I had been with for over 20 years. I was starting from scratch; I had no resume nor did I have any interviewing experience. Sue worked with me to develop the skills and confidence I needed to move forward. Her input did not stop there; she consistently followed up with me, combating lows points, and always building my confidence up. With the job market being as tough as it is, I don’t believe that I could have landed my dream job as soon as I did (less than 3 months) without Sue’s guidance. She had her challenge with me, someone with no resume, no search experience, and no clue on what to do, she did a fantastic job and I could not have asked for more. I highly recommend Sue Koch; you will not find a better professional coach

I attended one of Sue Koch’s seminars in early 2010 and the first thing I noticed was how passionate she was about her field. It was also clear that she cares deeply about helping people excel in life and career matters and several of her suggestions on re-evaluating traditional thought patterns helped me have an “a-ha moment” that has been incredibly valuable to me in the months following the seminar. Her genuine and straight-forward approach is wonderful and the ideas she discusses are useful in all areas of a person’s life.

I came to Sue looking for tools I could use in my professional & personal life to become a more positive person. I had been working in a negative, stressful environment for ten years & was ready for a change. Sue’s genuine desire to help me achieve this goal was immediately evident. As part of the coaching process, I completed an Energy Leadership Assessment. The results show the majority of my attitudes and perceptions fell into a category called “Conflict”. To me, the word “conflict” referred to arguments between me & others. I learned the conflict I was experiencing was within ME, and that I was focusing most of my energy in this area. Sue challenged me to learn and understand what drives me to react in certain ways & provided tools to assist. She has held me accountable to the process ever since. Sue has also given me invaluable insight which has inspired me to be a better person, focus my energy on the positive & break free of things that have held me back from achieving my goals. Thanks to Sue, I know I can achieve my full positional in all aspects of life, and would recommend her to anyone looking to do the same

Sue has been nothing but helpful. She has challenged me to think outside the box while still focusing on the things I want to concentrate on. I feel more confident and really appreciate the comfortable relationship we have developed.

Before working with Sue, it had been a very stressful year. I could not relax. I was tired and lacking in motivation, but with Sue’s valuable insights and encouragement I was able to increase my energy and find new sources of inspiration. Thank you for being so supportive and easy to talk to
