“My salary has gone from $36,000 to $81,000.”

“Thanks to the coaching on negotiating skills from Sue, over the past six years, my salary has gone from $36,000 to $81,000.

When I moved from Western Massachusetts to Boston, I was offered $55,000. I was scared to negotiate for more money. Sue helped me role play what to say and I was able to increase my starting salary by $3,000 to $58,000.

Then, when I moved back to Western Massachusetts where the salaries are typically lower, I was offered $55,000 by a new employer. Sue helped me create a spread sheet comparing the new offer with all the salary, vacation, and continuing education benefits I was previously paid. I sent it to the new employer and, as a result, I was able to increase their offer to $60,000 with a $3,000 sign-on bonus.

Eighteen months later with my knowledge of how to handle recruiters and my new-found confidence with negotiating, I was able to increase my salary to $81,000 with a 7% annual bonus– – a 30% increase from the prior job.

I never could have done this without the Sue’s coaching and ongoing belief in me and my talents.”
NJ, Wellness Professional, North Central Connecticut

“What stands out the most about Susan is her outstanding capacity to remember details about your life in an authentic way. She genuinely cares about my growth as a professional and pushes me to reflect on past experiences because she remembers my track record and future goals. Susan offers compassionate feedback in a non-judgmental way, nurturing and motivating me to move past my old habits and to be assertive in a professional forum.

Each phone call I have with Susan makes me feel hopeful and inspired to keep striving for progress in my work field.”
