I have had the privilege and honor of knowing Susanne Lieberman for many years. She has been there for me through child rearing years; career transitioning years; medical issue years; and well – life. One of the best, and most helpful, attributes Susanne brings to any relationship is her listening skills. She listens. She hears. She clarifies. And she listens again.

The difference in her listening though, is that she is an “active” listener. And by “active” listening, I mean she has this amazing ability to hone in on what you are really struggling with – and then
brainstorm with you for possible solutions. She is an idea person and a problem solver. But she doesn’t solve the problems for you, she processes with you.

Susanne listens, she hears what you are saying (thinking/feeling), asks just the right questions to get to the real issue and then gently guides you to two or three possible alternatives from which to choose. She will never tell you which option to take – but she helps to narrow down the choices. She also seems to know when to push, and when to let something settle for a little while.

In addition to her listening skills and problem-solving insights, Susanne has the strength and courage of her own convictions; and that same strength translates itself into a wealth of support – no matter what the circumstances or end decisions may be. Susanne is inherently someone you want to have in your corner when dealing with the multitude of situations thrown at you by …well – life!

To be an effective Life Coach an individual’s roadblocks, challenges, health and personal issues, must be understood. Susanne has that rare gift of being an intuitive, patient listener, often discovering aspects of myself I had not been consciously aware of. Each session, we decided on “Action Items,” for me to work on that fit my needs. Susanne presented many options, encouraging me to try ones that seemed workable and to make small changes, which are more likely to be sustainable. Her approach really worked for me. I moved forward on health goals: daily walks and replacing my sugary drink habit with healthier options. Susanne’s ideas and encouragement helped me create stronger relationships with my adult children. All this was accomplished during a period of much stress at home, as my husband’s health care needs became acute. Susanne made a significant difference in the quality of my daily life and helped me reframe my future. I am looking forward to meaningful adventures in my Golden Years. Susanne is a 5* Life Coach!

I am delighted to recommend Susanne Lieberman as an extremely competent and caring Life Coach. I have known Susanne for over 20 years and she has always been a wonderful listener with keen insights into any problem. She is kind, calm, and easy to talk to with practical solutions. Her unpretentious ability to connect makes her excel at helping others.
