“After more than 30 years in my profession and the last six in a senior management role, it is easy to think one's skills are as honed as possible. Working with Susan Peterson is a joy because she skillfully shows you the potential you have left to realize. She is clearly very experienced, smart, direct, flexible, and fun. I have been able to put into use immediately advice gleaned during our sessions, and I have seen the results.”
