Who Susan works with

How Susan works
Susan uses a framework called Built to Plateau. It shows the behaviors that built a leader's success and now cap their growth. The work moves through four steps: See it, understand it, interrupt it, and rewire it. Most one-on-one engagements run six to twelve months. That gives time to see a pattern, understand it, and build a new one in its place.
Background and qualifications
Susan Collins spent 30 years in talent acquisition, including time as a leader in corporate America. She sat through interviews and watched capable people get passed over for reasons they could not see in themselves. Coaching changed how she understood her own patterns, and that led her to leave corporate work. She is an ICF-certified leadership coach and holds the PHR credential.
