Trained 160 project managers globally

Susanne has developed a special training course for Nilfisk and trained over 160 project managers globally in team dynamics, collaborative project planning and risk management. Today, the methods have become part of our company mindset and form the backbone of how we work with new product development. Susanne’s approach is one of a kind. Just like a top-ranked jazz-musician she listens to the audience, adapts and improvises and takes the “music” to a new and higher level. - Henrik Floe Mikkelsen, Vice President, Nilfisk a/s

Challenged us as a business

A.F. Blakemore & Son Ltd has developed a valuable, collaborative partnership with Susanne Madsen over the past four years. During this period Susanne has provided invaluable advice, shared best practice and challenged us as a business throughout our project leadership journey. In addition Susanne has worked alongside our L&D team to deliver training courses to our leadership teams and also provided ongoing coaching and practical support during a critical stage of our evolution. - Paul Cowley, Director of Corporate Affairs, AF Blakemore

A great coach

Susanne has the self-awareness and high emotional intelligence required of a great coach. She is also brilliant at making sure that both the needs of the individual and the needs of the organisation are met. During all the years that I have known Susanne, she has always shown to be a person of huge integrity and high personal standards. —Leonor Stjepic, CEO at RAFT

Great job 

It has been a long while since Susanne delivered the PM leadership workshop and coaching for our clients in Shanghai. The workshop was for a group of talents and the coaching session for project leaders. Susanne did a great job and really made a positive impact not only on the participants but also me. Not only is she a coach and trainer, but also a practitioner. And I think that's why her approach is powerful and motivating. –Renee Yixia Yu Key Account Manager and Business Development at Cambridge Pragmatix, Shanghai

What a difference this has made for my company

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 workflow, not just internal but through the eyes of our clients. We improved our processes and realized through her work that we needed to hire a project manager to manage our day to day functions. 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. -Jolanda Harris, President, The Keynote Group 

Helped me uncover mental obstacles

I worked with Susanne after a recent step up in my career. At the time I felt overwhelmed with a heavy set of responsibilities and needed a guiding light to help me succeed. Susanne not only was that light for me, she helped me uncover mental obstacles that had been holding my performance back for a very long time. Susanne is pragmatic and helped me find easy ways to implement the changes I needed to make. After working together I felt I had turned a corner that could have taken me years to get to without her guidance. Thank you Susanne; the work you do is needed in the world and I am grateful to have been able to work with you. -Michael, Project Manager

A terrific presenter

ClickSusanne gave a terrific presentation to Women on the Wharf members, outlining key strategies for leadership. Not only did she detail, in a clear and understandable way, the differences between managing and leading, but also provided extremely practical advice for how one can develop working strategies which move into the leadership space. Our Q&A session following Susanne's presentation was extremely detailed, and participants took away sensible and useful approaches which they could put into practice right away. -Laura King, Partner, Clifford Chance LLP here to edit.

The most successful lecture this year!

​Thank you very much for the Project Leadership lecture you gave us. It was our most successful lecture this year, attracting students and staff from all the departments of the business school. Your style and clarity made the lecture a joy to follow. My MBA students in particular have told me that they were stuck in a project, and that after your lecture they took the initiative and the project is now well scoped and more focused. Your lecture will greatly improve the learning opportunities of our students and, dare I say it, some of our staff. -Nicholas Lambrou, Course Leader, Project Management MSc, University of Westminster
