“Who can overlook you now?”
The good girl
For every hesitant woman, there are ten less-qualified men eager to take a seat as a talk show guest.
Our male counterparts earn the equivalent of 1.5 months more per year for the same work.
“I’m not the right person for the job because I don’t have all the expertise.”
Can you hear the good girl talking?
Meanwhile, the world is crying out for female leaders
Companies with gender-diverse management teams are 21% more likely to achieve above-average profitability.
With a higher number of women, there’s a staggering 66% increase in return on invested capital compared to companies with all-male boards (McKinsey & Company).
87% of employees report feeling engaged in companies with diverse leadership teams, compared to 74% in companies lacking leadership diversity (Forbes).
And yet… you still find yourself wondering if you truly have what it takes to stand for what you believe in.
That’s not surprising
Choosing yourself is often mistaken for arrogance.
Fighting for someone else is much easier than fighting for yourself.
Owning your ambition, openly talking about how much money you want to make, and confidently taking up space… That’s not something women do.
It’s just easier for everyone if you behave the way (you think) people expect you to.
My biggest challenge was creating a role for sustainable employability within our organization - and stepping into it myself. Thanks to Susan, I learned step by step how to approach this. Her concrete plan and focus on my beliefs led to a major mindset shift.
The group coaching sessions were incredibly valuable; I gained so much from the questions and experiences of others. The real breakthrough came when I realized that I am good enough as I am. That gave me peace of mind and the courage to not just think, 'What do I want?' but to actually go for it.
Now, I dare to speak up, take the lead, and actively choose what I want. Recently, I shared my vision with my manager and positioned myself for a new role. With more self-confidence and inner peace, I’m now pursuing my dreams!
I knew exactly what I wanted, but time and again, I stayed silent because I didn’t dare voice my ambition at every level.
Working with Susan felt like a breath of fresh air, as she understood exactly what I needed through her own experience.
The real breakthrough came when I decided to commit to this journey—without hesitation, no matter the outcome. Now, I’m no longer stuck in the ‘how’. I just go, and I’m noticing that things are falling into place naturally.
For a long time, I felt like I had lost control over my life and career, but thanks to the program, I’ve finally become the best version of myself again.
Susan helped me find more joy in life and trust in who I am and who I want to be. Now, I claim my place in my field with confidence because I know I’m worth it. It feels FAN-TAS-TIC to finally be able to say: I love MYSELF!
I always thought positioning was about having a 'shine moment,' like I had to step on stage to make an impression.
But through this program, I learned that it means so much more: it’s about seizing my moment so that my skills are recognized.
The most important insight? I deserve to showcase myself so that management and colleagues see my value, and that has a direct, positive impact on my career. Thanks to the program, I now see that positioning yourself is the key to more appreciation and career opportunities.
I was tired of always working so hard without anyone noticing. Despite all my efforts, it felt like no one really saw what I was capable of.
Thanks to the program, I learned to apply my insights at the right moments, which immediately gave me more control over situations. The hard work is still there, but now with results – I’m being noticed.
My biggest wish was to finally do something with an idea that had been on the shelf for years: WingWoman.
Working with Susan was different, especially because of her encouragement, attention, and constructive feedback. I really noticed progress when she pointed out an opportunity to speak—the first time I presented myself as WingWoman.
Now, it’s busy managing everything and finding time for further development, but I know this investment will pay off in 2025.
Susan coaches with genuine attention and respect for every woman, regardless of her life or career stage. She gives motivating feedback in a way that encourages and inspires.
