What are people saying about Sue Dorward?

"I truly find that I am thinking and functioning at an entirely higher level than before. The coaching process helps me to think and act in a different way. Sitting down with Sue weekly makes me (somehow) think that all the issues are solvable problems as long as I can identify and articulate them. I think this will carry me a long way. Our work laid a solid foundation that enables me to bring my career to another level. My responsibilities expanded and I faced more challenges during the coaching period. I don’t think I would have been able to do as well if I had not gone through the coaching process. I am more confident about my work and enjoy it more." - Data Warehouse Manager, online media company

"Through Sue's coaching, I realized the importance of communication. I can’t expect people know my thinking. I need communicate. I need to let people know how I think. Coaching also changed the way I think. I used to complain when an issue arose. Now instead of getting angry, I calmly think and figure out the steps to solve it. It sounds so simple, but without coaching practice, it won’t happen. This change is great benefit to my daily life. It saves my energy so that I can enjoy my life." - Systems Architect, major pharmaceutical company

"Sue helped me identify concrete ways to reduce the number and kinds of 'extra-work' commitments that I make and to choose commitments that are more meaningful and rewarding. I found our 3-month coaching relationship enormously valuable. I did not have specific expectations for the experience, so was very surprised by everything I learned about myself. My hope is that I can apply some of the techniques that I learned more consistently and deeply in my future work." - Principal Researcher, major telecommunications company

"You have a way of bringing out the best in everyone and always see our potential to do better." - QA Manager, online learning company

"You've definitely become a role model of professionalism to me." - Junior Project Manager, e–pharma consulting company

"You were the best manager in my career as a programmer. Your input in every project I was involved in was so helpful." - Senior Web Developer, web development company

"Sue is the greatest supervisor of a technical department that I have ever seen. She bends over backwards to take care of her employees. She does her best to make sure the department produces quality work. She’s aware of most of the technical issues her people have to face. I’ve frequently seen zero, one, or two of these qualities in a manager, never all three." - Senior Software Architect, online media company
