Susanne 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 to project management 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 |

Susanne's master class was an eye opener
I had the pleasure of attending a master class that Susanne delivered to one of our clients in Finland on the topic of “Project Management Leadership”. The presentation was an eye opener for me and many others in the audience. Susanne’s hands-on approach makes it easy to grasp the importance of knowing the difference between leadership and management. Susanne also shared some strategies to reduce stress, avoid unhappy clients and project failure. Susanne’s master class definitely helps to improve performance and wellbeing. -Lorena Silvosa, IIL Finland |
Susanne did a great job and made a positive impact
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 work flow, 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 |
Susanne helped me uncover mental obstacles
"I worked with Susanne after a recent step up in my project management career. I reached out for advice on how to approach my new role and to set myself up for the best possible chance of success. 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

I strongly recommend Susanne for all project managers
Susanne’s sessions have been absolutely invaluable. Her hands on style of coaching ensure that’s you are engaged and inspired from the first session. As well as being a fantastic listener she was always on hand to share her own wealth of experience as a project & programme manager. Since my sessions with Susanne my PM skills have improved significantly. I have also learnt it’s not necessarily about working harder but smarter! I would strongly recommend Susanne for all project managers who are looking to get ahead. –Patience Wootton, Project Manager, Apax Partners

Susanne is an inspiration and pleasure to work with
Sensational is how I always felt after my coaching sessions with Susanne. Her questioning, guidance and encouragement have provided some real breakthroughs and have injected me with so much drive, self-belief and overall confidence that I benefit from the coaching even to this day, months later. Susanne radiates nothing but positive energy and is simply an inspiration and pleasure to work with. Without doubt one of the best and certainly longest lasting investments I ever made for my professional career. —Birgit Oberlerchner, Project Manager |
I got a promotion and the largest pay rise of my career
I was initially sceptical about coaching, and viewed it as another possible contention for precious time, but as it was recommended by my boss, I figured I should give it a shot. Susanne was engaging from the first session. Within a couple of sessions, I had a roadmap to my way out of my mess. The discussions were practical and Susanne was excellent at guiding me through my minefield of vented up emotions and mental sticking points. In the months that followed my sessions, I got a promotion and the largest pay rise of my career to date. I do not believe this to have been achievable without my time spent with Susanne. —JP Plowman

Susanne is a fantastic coach and a great listener
"Before I was coached by Susanne I felt that my work life was not in my control. I was lost in terms of where to start in managing a project, and I always felt that there were never enough hours in the day. Susanne guided me in finding the best way to apply project management skills and taught me how to delegate effectively. As a result, I am able to have a great work-life balance, my team has improved dramatically as they take on more responsibilities, and I have gone on to successfully manage and deliver projects on time. Susanne is a fantastic coach and a great listener." —Lisa Mitchell, Project Manager

Susanne gave a terrific presentation

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

Susanne's presentation really stuck a chord
Susanne’s presentation “Project Management Leadership: are we too busy with the urgent to focus on the important?” really stuck a chord with those attending the Women in Project Management SiG event earlier this year. Her honest and down to earth approach was very refreshing and the delivery faultless. Delegates were provided with a multitude of tips and approaches to apply that were not only useful but also extremely practical. I very much look forward to hearing more from Susanne in the future and to reading her new book. -Catherine Roche, Committee Secretary, APM Women in Project Management SiG

The most successful lecture this year!
Thank you very much for the 'Project Management 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. Both I and my colleagues have already used the tips you suggest. 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
