Susanna provided the insight, motivation and articulation I needed to meet my COVID career goals. I’ve been able to advance from Director to Vice President. She helped me identify my current strengths, provided radical candor when I needed it and encouraged me to be more aggressive in my networking. She did this while walking me through a focused approach to my goals. Trust the process! I will continue to work with Susanna as I reach new milestones.
Susanna is an amazing Career Coach. She helped me transition into a managerial role after being in a technical role for about 20 years. As a coach, she patiently listened to my stories, strengths and challenges, encouraged me when I felt down and hopeless. Using her various workbooks and techniques, she helped me establish my personal brand highlighting my strengths while coaching me to overcome those challenges. In addition to the personal branding exercise, I found her interview techniques and practices to be extremely effective and valuable. In a way, working with her helped me discover and understand myself better. I couldn’t have made my career jump without Susanna! I would wholeheartedly (and did) refer Susanna to anyone who’s looking to transform and elevate their career.
Susanna Shamim was as my Executive Career Coach during my transition from BP. Susanna opened my vistas to explore a career path that I had not considered. She was able to brand my talents and experience for a C-level position and tap into my entrepreneurial side which had served me well in my corporate positions. Through her guidance and coaching, I was able to ultimately create a position and court a company to open operations in Alaska. I am so glad that I met Susanna and very appreciative of her support.
I am so appreciative that I received guidance from Susanna Shamim during our coaching engagement. She helped me to acclimate to my expanded responsibilities, establish priorities and delegate more to my team. My natural leadership abilities needed to be refined in this new role and Susanna helped me gain awareness of some blindspots. The 360 assessment was very eye opening and I’d recommend all leaders to use this for creating awareness. I’m continuing to apply the coaching and strategies that I developed with Susanna.
In the initial coaching sessions Susanna helped me gain clarity that I was ready to assume a role with considerably more responsibility in a leadership position. She and I collaborated in finding the right position for me and then she developed a resume that is reflective of my accomplishments, my leadership abilities and the type of position I’m seeking. I’m very happy with the final results. Susanna also coached me on interviewing and how to effectively articulate my value points and accomplishments through mock interview sessions. I found these to be very beneficial.
From the moment I first spoke to Susanna, I knew she was the right Career Coach for me. She knew exactly what I needed and I’m pleased retaining her services. She was able to take my experiences as a producer and executive producer and helped me explore possible new career paths. Through our sessions I gained greater clarity and developed a vision for my career which she then translated into my new resume and profile. Susanna also introduced me to other clients of hers and I was able to secure an interview from that networking
Susanna was able to provide an objective perspective and was a solid sounding board as I assessed the next chapter of my career. She offers sound advice and champions her clients by reinforcing constructive narratives. She brought fresh perspective to both my resume and LinkedIn profile as well as offering me search strategies to target my next career move. I am grateful to have worked with Susanna, who I found at exactly the right time in my journey.
I retained Susanna as my executive coach while I was in a senior director role in a challenging position managing a team in the U.S. and one overseas on a multi-million dollar project that I was directing. She helped me navigate the organizational politics and helped me communicate more effectively with my U.S. senior executives while improving my management of my overseas and local teams. I found having Susanna to be an invaluable sounding board for my day to day challenges and to problem solve with an objective, yet intelligent and insightful executive coach. I learned much about myself and have improved my leadership style through the coaching I received.
