1:1 COACHING - BUILT TO PLATEAU

You built a career on being good.

Now something feels different, but you can’t put your finger on it.

One-on-one coaching for directors, VPs, and senior executives ready to find the patterns running their career, not just managing around them.

Let's talk

Most leaders are far more capable than their careers reflect. Why are they always the last to see it?

What got you here won’t get you there.

You didn’t get here by accident.

And the behaviors that earned you everything you have are the same one quietly capping you now. That isn’t a flaw to fix. It's how the writing works. It’s also the thing this work changes.

WHY THIS ROOM IS DIFFERENT

Everyone needs something from your answer.

Everyone around you has a stake in what you decide. Your manager. The people who report to you. Every room you walk into carries an agenda you can feel underneath the words. This one doesn’t. Nobody here needs your answer to go a certain way, which is exactly why the honest look becomes possible.

See it.

Name the gap between intention and impact. Most leaders have never had anyone show them the difference between how they mean to land and how they actually do.

Understand it.

Find what’s actually driving the behavior. It made sense once. It earned you something real. Seeing where it came from is the first moment it loosens its grip.

Interrupt it.

Catch the pattern and the moment it fires. That fraction of a second between the trigger and the old reaction is the only place anything changes.

Rewire it.

Build the new response until it holds. Not overnight. Not painlessly. Repeated enough times that it becomes the move you reach for without thinking.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

Testimonials

"I didn’t realize how Much I was operating in fear, or how much it was taking from everything else. An objective perspective on my thought process identified huge gaps for me."
-Head of HR
"My job was fine, but I was stuck. My old tried-and-true methods just weren’t working, and I didn’t know why. I had talked to every friend about it and realized I needed professional, one-on-one help from a vested expert."
-Chief of Staff
"I could finally see the unintended consequences of my internal narrative and course-correct. Definitely worth the investment. I am worth the investment."
-Director, TA

-COO

COMMON QUESTIONS

FAQs

What does 1:1 coaching with Susan Collins involve? 

Regular one-on-one sessions are built around your specific role and goals. We work through what’s actually driving your behavior in high-stakes moments, not just what to do differently, but what’s underneath. It is not just about what you want to be, but who you want to be.

How long does 1:1 coaching last? 

Most 1:1 engagements run six to twelve months, long enough to walk out closer to what you came for, and closer to who you actually are. 

What’s the difference between 1:1 coaching and career transition coaching? 

1:1 coaching is for the leader who’s already capable and still knows there is more; however, they are feeling a ceiling that isn’t due to a skill gap; it’s something that’s never been named. Career strategy works on where you’re headed, the market, the role, and the gap between here and there. See the Career Strategist page for details.

What does 1:1 coaching cost?

Engagements are priced by scope, and most fall in the four- to five-figure range for a six- to twelve-month partnership. We’ll talk specifics once we know your goals.

What happens on the first call? 

Thirty minutes, no pitch. We’ll talk about where you are, what’s not working, and whether this is the right fit. You’ll leave with clarity either way.

How do I know if I need a leadership coach?

If you have a track record of success, but are sensing something is quietly in the way. If the next level keeps feeling out of reach, if something feels slightly off though everything looks fine, those are the signals. You don’t have to be in crisis. You have to be ready to go deeper.

What is the difference between leadership coaching and executive coaching?

“Executive coaching” usually signals senior title and higher stakes. “Leadership coaching” is broader; it’s about how someone leads, regardless of level. In practice, the two overlap more than labels suggest. What matters isn’t the title on the door; it’s whether the behavior running the room is still serving you at your current level.

How do I know coaching is working? 

Clients notice it first in the room; decisions get faster, certain conversations stop being hard. Somewhere around month three or four, people around you start noticing something’s different before you have even said a word.

Does this keep paying off after coaching ends?

Yes, it keeps growing. Every room you learn to walk into differently cracks the door open to another room. The conversations that used to cost you something get easier, and so does everything riding on them, including what shows up in your paycheck. Years from now, you’ll trace a decision back to something you learned here, in a moment you don’t even remember naming.

Some clients come annually, or years later, for a tune-up before a big step, to work through a new challenge, or just for the space to think out loud with someone they trust who isn’t in the situation with them.

A conversation is where this starts.

We’ll talk about where you are and whether this is the right fit
