Meet Your Houston Executive & Career Coach.
Susan Collins brings a perspective shaped by three decades in talent acquisition and years of coaching established professionals and leaders.
Throughout her career, she saw talented people advance—and equally talented people stall. Often, the difference wasn’t experience or capability. It was something harder to see: the behaviors, assumptions, and internal stories shaping how they approached their careers and leadership.
Today, Susan brings that experience to professionals in Houston as an ICF-ACC certified leadership coach and founder of The Network Concierge. Her goal is to help you see what you may not be able to see on your own, understand what’s keeping you stuck, and make more intentional decisions about where you go next.

FAQs

Career coaching can help you clarify what you want next and develop a strategy for getting there. Depending on your goals, that might include evaluating your career direction, preparing for a job search, improving your professional positioning, strengthening your resume or LinkedIn presence, preparing for interviews, or navigating a major career transition.
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.

“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.
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.
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.
