Coaching is often used as an executive intervention to help executives transform their organizations, increase their impact and influence, and develop as leaders.
Executives, managers, supervisors and team leaders find that they must guide and lead their people and projects with little or no preparation or support. In many organizations politics guide a leader’s decisions and actions more than vision or strategy. Business leaders thrive in the action-based, commitment-oriented partnership that coaching provides.

Senior Vice President and General Counsel, DuPont “Suzi’s insight, methods of engagement and ability to bring out the best in everyone she coaches truly distinguishes her in the consultant world. She has been instrumental in promoting synergy within our Legal teams and developing our legal personnel, some of whom have been risk adverse and very resistant to any proposed change. I would not hesitate, and would, indeed, encourage you, to contract Suzi for any proposed project.”
Hoshizaki, PhD, Program Director, NIH "The value of your coaching is that you create an environment that allows me to be completely honest and voice my concerns and fears. You provide strategies rather than instructions. I am much more productive and efficient and happy at work because of you. On a scale of one to 10 with 10 being the best… I place this as a 10."
Managing Partner, Deloitte "Suzi is a wonderful resource -- a seasoned and trusted business advisor . I value her insights and perspectives and especially appreciate her ability to simplify complex and at times esoteric concepts in a way that facilitates communication and sales."

Moxey-Mims, M.D, Director, NIH "For me, the value of coaching was better self-knowledge and insight. Specifically, I learned more about my strengths and what I bring to the table.

I learned how to better follow through on assignments that I give to people, and be sure that they understand the task and know the steps to take."

Chairman & CEO, Levick “We have hired Suzi Pomerantz to address individual issues for senior executives, to help them grow and leverage their strengths, while learning to overcome real and perceived weaknesses. We have also hired her for firm-wide strategic planning. She succeeds every time, because she listens, builds trust, and diplomatically confronts the difficult issues directly.
