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

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

Sometimes we spend months, even years, trying to change our circumstances before realising it's our relationship with ourselves that's asking for attention.

Feeling inadequate, out of place or not quite enough, we try to fix, edit and override ourselves to fit in.

We keep pushing through our corporate existence, secretly dreaming of an exit, longing for more space, simplicity, freedom and a life that feels exciting again.

I know what it's like to ignore yourself in favour of being seen as successful, capable, the do-er and achiever. Until one day you realise just how much of yourself you've given away.

You feel lost, suppressed and increasingly disconnected, questioning your choices and wondering when life will finally feel good.

BUT THERE IS ANOTHER WAY.

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.

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.

Today, I bring that experience into my work, supporting corporate professionals 40+ to reconnect with themselves, feel at home in who they are, be more daring and create their more — a simpler, more intentional life that feels good.

I'm the creator of The Self-Leadership Effect, a coach, mentor and speaker, and founder of Motoristas UK, a female classic and sports car club encouraging more women to take the driver's seat.

If you're at crossroads or feel trapped in the never ending cycle of performance and achievement and feel you have lost yourself in it.

I'll be your guide to feel like yourself again, be more daring and create more of what you may not even know what it is - yet.

WHO AM I?

Hi, I'm Susanne

I've spent nearly 30 years in consultancy and investment banking in Frankfurt and London, often feeling like a follower, tamed and suppressed, unable to simply be myself.

For years, I hid behind the mask of perfection, striving for performance, approval and outward validation.

Until an inner nudge to be more me became impossible to ignore.

It led me to coaching and completely transformed the way I saw myself.

Learning to validate and approve of myself, rather than seeking it from an environment that wasn't built for me, changed everything. It gave me the freedom to challenge my own status quo and redefine what's possible.

""Life has a way of opening up when you begin to orient towards the relationship with yourself.

The more I like, accept and trust myself, the more what no longer fits naturally falls away....

... and the relationships, opportunities and moments that are meant for me, begin to deepen and take root in beautiful ways. "

-Gwyneth Palrow-

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.
