LIFE AND CAREER IN "THE DRIVER'S SEAT" MADE SIMPLE

When endless striving still leaves you feeling... unfulfilled?

You can spend years striving for the next achievement, the next promotion, the next sign that you’re doing enough - looking outside yourself for the validation and approval you crave, without ever learning to give yourself the same recognition.

You become so focused on proving that you’re doing enough and creating success that you never stop asking whether you're actually on the right path.

And suddenly, life feels like life is passing by - without you really being in it.

Frustration and resentment grows when we feel tamed, suppressed and somehow functioning but never really living.

The Self-Leadership Effect is an invitation to change that- so you can finally feel you're in the driver's seat.

Together, we explore how to lead yourself wholeheartedly and with agency to create a life that feels good.

We build the relationship you have with yourself as the foundation for how you experience personal and career success.

We explore how to simplify your life, reconnect with what matters to you, and lead yourself with intention and imagination — so you can courageously create possibilities beyond the life you’ve simply been living.

So you feel ....

  • Excited - about creating a life that light you up

  • Alive - not just functioning, but actually feeling engaged with and present with the people around you.

  • Confident - trusting yourself rather than constantly questioning whether you're doing or being enough.

  • Clear - knowing what matters to you and what you want, without needing to have every step mapped out.

  • Energised - having space and capacity for the things that bring you joy, rather than constantly feeling depleted.

  • Grounded - able to navigate uncertainty and change without losing yourself

  • Curious - asking "is that even possible?" instead of assuming the life you have is the only life available to you.

  • Proud - appreciating yourself for who you are - not just for what you achieve.

  • At peace - no longer feeling that you have to constantly prove, fix, edit or become someone else to feel enough.

Everything starts with YOU

and how you see yourself.

Sometimes we spend months, if not even years trying to change our circumstances before we realise it's our relationship with ourselves that's asking for our attention.

We feel wrong, inadequate and not belonging, resulting in trying to fix, edit and override ourselves to fit in.

We endure our corporate existence, secretly planning our exit strategy... trying to change everything outside of ourselves until we realise we've given ourselves away.

I know what it's like to ignore yourself in favour for being seen as successful, the do-er and achiever.

To ignore your inner longing for more you, more space, time, simplicity and a life that feels exciting again.

The frustration only grows and we feel increasingly lost, tamed and suppressed. Questioning ourselves, whether we'll ever get there and when it will finally feel good.

We question our choices and decision making.

BUT, there is another way!

I offer professionals caught in the cycle of performance a different way to see themselves - one that allows them to finally appreciate who they are, take Agency over their lives and see possibilities beyond the life they've been living.

The 90-day Self-Leadership Reset is designed to take the struggle and overthinking out of figuring yourself out,

by getting you into the most helpful identity and guiding you back into a relationship with yourself, stepping into the most daring and courageous self - so you can take the next step with ease.

Together we'll explore HOW to lead yourself wholeheartedly and with agency to create a life that feels good.

We explore HOW to simplify your life and HOW o lead yourself with intention and imagination to take you further.

The Self-Leadership way

RELATIONSHIP WITH SELF

This is where everything begins. It’s about noticing how you speak to yourself, how you treat yourself, and how often you override what you truly need. Instead of constantly pushing or second-guessing, fixing or editing yourself.

Start seeing yourself, accept, trust and like yourself learn to listen, respond, and be on your own side.

SIMPLIFY

Once you reconnect with yourself, you begin to see what’s been creating unnecessary pressure. Simplifying is about clearing the noise - expectations, mental clutter, and patterns that keep you stuck - so you can create more space, ease, structure and clarity in how you live and work.

LIFE DESIGN

From that place of clarity, you start making more intentional choices. Life design isn’t about changing everything overnight, but about consciously shaping a life you desire tapping into imagination. Without knowing how we want to feel and what's possible we may end up ... continuing on autopilot.

"Working with Susanne was so helpful, a true revelation and eye opening. I was worrying and concerned about my job, felt stressed out and wanted nothing more than to pack my bags and run away. I had no idea what it actually means to have a relationship with myself, and to make myself a priority so that I can enjoy my career and create a drama-free life. I feel like I have woken up from a deep sleep."

– Stephanie B.

""The first step that leads to our identity in life is usually not,

'I know who I am,' but rather, 'I know who I'm not.'

Process of elimination. Defining ourselves by what we are not is the first step that leads us to really knowing who we are."

-Matthew McMcConaughey-

And that is the base of what I nowadays do: supporting the personal transformation of corporate professionals 40+ who have lost touch with themselves beneath the roles and expectations of corporate life - helping them finally feel at home in themselves, become more daring and create a simpler, more intentional life that feels good, while still reaching for more.

I am the creator of The Self-Leadership Effect, coach, mentor and speaker as well as founder of Motoristas UK, a female classic & Sports Car Club - encouraging more women to take the driver's seat.

If you're finding yourself at cross roads, questioning yourself, your journey or what's next but you know you just don't want to carry on feeling like this, I'm here to help you think outside the box.

WHO AM I?

Hi, I'm Susanne

I've worked for nearly 30 years in consultancy and Investment Banking in Frankfurt and London. And often felt like a follower, tamed and suppressed - never being able to just be myself.

For years I fitted in, hiding behind the mask of perfection, driven by performance and striving for outward validation and approval.

Until an inner nudge got louder and a desire to be more me called me to rethink and get more curious about myself. So I joined a coaching program and with that I totally transformed the way I saw myself.

Having learned to approve and validate myself in an environment that wasn't build for me was the key to challenging my own status quo and redefining what's possible.

Exercises to shift from performance to authenticity at work

If you've ever felt like you had to be someone else at work to succeed, this workbook is for you. It offers insight into the "corporate armour" many of us wear, why it develops, and how it disconnects us from ourselves. Through reflective, guided questions, you'll begin to explore what authenticity really means in a professional environment, and what might be possible if you stopped performing and started relating to yourself more honestly.
