Susanne Madsen Intl. • Developing Project Leaders

Become a more confident and effective leader

As your responsibilities grow, leadership becomes less about having the answers and more about how you empower others, influence stakeholders, navigate complexity and create the conditions for people to perform at their best.
​
I coach project and programme leaders who want to increase their impact, step back from doing it all themselves and become confident and effective enterprise leaders.

Through one-to-one coaching, I provide the space to step back from day-to-day pressures, gain greater self-awareness and work through the leadership challenges that matter most to you.

Depending on your needs, we may explore areas such as leadership style, stakeholder relationships, difficult conversations, team dynamics, delegation and empowerment, confidence, resilience and leading effectively under pressure

The Benefits of Coaching

​​Coaching helps you see situations from a different perspective, challenge established patterns and become more intentional about how you lead. 

​It is a powerful intervention that can help you:​
  • strengthen your self-awareness and leadership impact
  • step back from doing too much yourself and empower others
  • navigate difficult stakeholder and team situations with greater confidence
  • communicate and influence more effectively
  • lead with greater clarity when faced with complexity and pressure
  • create stronger ownership and performance in others
  • ​Develop healthy habits and avoid burnout
  • Grow and stretch outside of your comfort zone​
  • Stay motivated and follow through on changes that matter to you​​

The aim is not simply to become a more effective individual, but a leader who creates greater capability and impact through others.

Expertise and Qualifications 

​As an ICF Certified Corporate & Executive Coach and NLP Practitioner, I dedicated myself full-time to coaching and leadership development in 2013. Before transitioning to coaching, I spent 17 years leading strategic projects in professional and financial services honing my skills in project delivery, team leadership and emotional intelligence. This background allows me to coach a diverse range of global clients from project and change managers to top executives.
My clients experience me as supportive, pragmatic and a great listener—qualities that enable me to quickly build trust and foster collaborative relationships. With a focus on supporting high-performing managers and executives, I excel at helping people rethink how they lead global teams, handle challenging conversations and stay on the healthy side of stress. Aa a result, not only do they hone their own skills, they also learn to pass the gift of leadership and self-awareness on to the teams they manage.

We would not have gotten there without Susanne’s guidance
"I have been coaching with Susanne for almost a year and what a difference this has made for my company. Susanne helped us review our processes and think different about our work flow. This has been the best business move I have ever made and we would not have gotten there without Susanne’s guidance and simplification of what we were delivering."
