Susan is excellent at what she does. I worked with Susan on my Insights Discovery profile. It was enlightening and extremely useful to identify the areas that I am strong in and those where I can work harder to improve. I believe this is essential for anyone in business and would be extremely attractive to teams looking to work effectively together. Susan delivers the information with insight and can draw on her experience to give practical tips and strategies. Very useful, thank you Susan!

Lesley Collins
Business Owner/Mentor/Co-Founder Speedy Meet

Susan facilitated and led my management team through a fantastic interactive session, helping us to work better as a newly formed team. It was a session where we learnt about ourselves and each other – priceless. It was well worth it – and we’re still reaping the benefits now.

Stephanie Ogden
Branch Manager, Scotland, Allianz

I am still using Susan’s techniques today, 18 months after I attended her business leadership sessions. From personal development, developing others and developing business ideas, Susan’s natural ability to open up realms of opportunities in an easy to understand and relatable way has meant that my business has benefited greatly from it.

Susan Grimshaw

SLG Project Management (Business Owner)

I have felt very fortunate I chose Susan as a coach she struck a perfect balance between coaching and mentoring.  Susan has been a very motivating and supportive influence and has helped me to think about my future career and encouraged me to reflect on my range of skills. I would highly recommend Susan as a coach…you will reap huge benefits from her coaching approach. 

Organisation/Learning & Development Manager, NHS Scotland

I have been working with Susan for a couple of years. I always come away from a session with a renewed sense of direction, focus and calmness. Susan has a great way of engaging the areas that could be uncomfortable in a way that doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable – a very valuable skill indeed.

Geoff Leask

Chief Executive, Young Enterprise Scotland

I worked with Susan as an Executive Coach for 6 months in late 2015 and early 2016. Susan was able to provide me with several coping strategies, and pointed me towards other resources (such as further reading and websites).  Through sessions I identified my strengths and built on them, which was invaluable. I highly recommend Susan. 

HR Manager, NHS Scotland

Insights Discovery was a very positive and fun event that encouraged self-awareness of every individual within our team.. The course had an immediate effect in creating a more positive environment, very worthwhile.

Elaine Niven, Chartered Quantity Surveyor

Susan is professional at all times, she models integrity and provides a superb background to coaching for GPs in view of her extensive clinical and management background.  I highly recommend Susan. 

GP Chair

The coaching session was a great confidence booster and made me realise the skills and experience that I have.  The sessions were  in a relaxing environment and Susan was very encouraging and asked me questions that made me realise the potential I have to offer.   I now realise all the things that I am very good at.  My confidence has grown after my sessions, I am now able to focus on what I want to achieve.

IT Professional

The openness of the sessions is very helpful…your experience and knowledge in similar (managerial) situations have helped me put things into context throughout the time we have met.  I realise the importance of not putting things off and to be true to myself, to trust my gut instincts.  I am on the way to meeting my goals and you have helped me realise what are the important ones to prioritise.

Senior Manager, Voluntary Sector

I achieved skills and strategies to be able to confidently have successful difficult conversations, remaining confident to tackle the issue.  I am able to delegate work more effectively.  Coaching with Susan helped me to develop effective leadership and change management skills to enable me to manage the team through a period of change.
