Strategic Coaching

As a leader heading a new initiative, you can benefit from an insightful conversation with a neutral party. A person who will neither be subject to the anticipated change nor will be in any position to judge you for the results.

Regular or occasional coaching sessions can help you focus and provide input to your setting of priorities and deciding next steps. I can’t tell you how to conduct your business, but I ask questions and provide suggestions that will support your reflection and decision-making.

Client quotes

“Having Sju as my business coach helps me structure my initiatives and plans. In our conversations she will guide me and suggest approaches, but never in a patronizing or imposing way. Sju also knows an abundance of methods that she expertly brings into play as relevant. She motivates me, keeps me on my toes, helps me solve specific problems, boils down my interminable to-do list to the three most important actions, while she maintains the big picture.”

“In her role as my coach, Sju has proven again and again her extraordinary intelligence, ability to grasp the complexities of our business and my situation rapidly, and to provide feedback and actionable items that cut straight to what is important. As advisor to me in my latest and most ambitious start-up she has challenged me and helped me grow as a leader and manager, in ways I did not think possible, and she is gloriously jargon-free.”
