Lead yourself first. Everything else rises from there.
Stop performing.
The version of you that got you here, won’t get you to the next level. I help leaders figure out who's next, and become that person for real..
Start Becoming.
On the outside? You've got it together. On the inside? Different story.
Maybe you're the entrepreneur who built something from nothing, but now you're running a business that runs you. You're making good money and checking boxes, but you can't remember the last time you felt like yourself in your own company.
Or maybe you're the executive who finally got the promotion, but now you're in rooms where you still feel like you're proving you belong. You're making decisions that affect entire teams, but second-guessing yourself on the drive home.
You're tired of:
Making choices based on what you think you should do instead of what actually makes sense
Setting a boundary and then immediately second-guessing it
Hitting goals that somehow feel empty the second you reach them
Leading others with confidence while feeling completely lost in your own life
Wondering when success is supposed to start feeling... successful
Here's the thing nobody tells you:
You're not broken. You're not doing it wrong. You just outgrew the version of yourself that got you here—and you haven't figured out who you're becoming yet.
That gap? That's what I help you close.
The hardest person you'll ever learn to lead is yourself.
Hi, I'm Suzette—and I help leaders figure out who they're becoming, not just what they're doing.
I work with entrepreneurs who’ve built impressive businesses but somewhere along the way… lost themselves.
And executives who earned the corner office but still feel like they’re playing a part instead of actually owning the role.
After 20+ years in business, leadership, and executive coaching, here’s the truth I keep seeing:
Your problem isn’t strategy, and it’s not about skill. It’s that you’re still operating as the person you were three years ago — and that version of you isn’t built for where you’re headed.
You can do all the things — read the books, jump into the masterminds, hire the big-name experts — and still feel out of sync. Because until you get honest about who you are right now and start making decisions from that version of you, everything is going to feel just a little… off.
I know this because I’ve lived it. Twelve years ago, I lost my husband — and in an instant, everything I thought I knew about my life, my future, and myself came crashing down. I wasn’t just rebuilding a life. I was rebuilding me from the ground up.
And that season taught me something that leadership manuals don’t mention:
Before you can lead a business, a team, or anyone else…
you have to learn to lead yourself
LET'S WORK TOGETHER
1:1 Private Coaching
For leaders who need someone in their corner while they figure this out
You're navigating something big—a transition, a decision, a pattern you can't break on your own. You need someone who'll be honest with you and help you build the systems to operate differently.
This is private, focused work. Everything is tailored to you, your situation, your goals. We meet regularly, dig into what's actually happening in your life and leadership, and get you where you need to go.
This works best if:
You're dealing with a major transition or specific challenge
You want deep, personalized support—not group dynamics
You prefer privacy and direct access
You're ready for someone to call you on your patterns

Group Coaching - Lead Yourself First™ Lab
For leaders who want the work without the premium price tag
This is a 90-day group program where you'll learn the core frameworks for figuring out who you're becoming and how to operate from that place. You'll do it alongside other ambitious entrepreneurs and executives who are navigating their own transitions.
6 group sessions. Weekly practices. A community of people who get what you're dealing with. You'll learn the systems and tools, get coached in real-time during sessions, and have the accountability of people who are doing the work alongside you.

Corporate Training & Workshops
For companies who want their leaders to actually lead differently
Custom workshops, leadership retreats, or ongoing training programs for your team. I work with HR, L&D, and executives who are tired of training that sounds good but changes nothing.
Your leaders will leave with frameworks they can use immediately—not just motivation that fades by Monday. Topics include: leading through transitions, decision-making under pressure, boundaries without burnout, and moving from performance to ownership.
Format: Customized for your team's needs

Kind words from the community
I just had to take a moment to let you know how incredibly grateful I am for your coaching. Seriously, it's been a game-changer for me. Your unique approach to helping me reconnect with my inner child and heal old wounds has had a profound impact on my life. Before working with you, I was stuck. It was like I was on autopilot, not even realizing how much these things were holding me back. But you, my friend, helped me shine a light on all of that. Your insights, wisdom, and uncanny ability to cut through the noise have been nothing short of magical. I'm finally able to step into my own power and trust my gut.

Suzette is truly a Diamond in the rough! She has a unique way of showing you that you truly have all the answers you will ever need within your very own self. She helps you peel away the layers and reminds you along the way that the emotions that come won’t always be easy, but the journey you go through in seeking betterment is where all the truths unfold. Suzette is truly one of a kind and I couldn’t be more grateful to know her and to have her guidance at times when I have felt lost. Thank you so much Suzette!
