I’m looking forward to working with you to create the full, rich life or thriving business that you know awaits you. As President of Susan R. Meyer, Coaching and Consulting, I have over 35 years of experience coaching and designing and establishing growth experiences for individuals and organizations in corporate, government, not-for-profit, social service, health care and university settings. My latest book, I’m Susan and I’m a Serial Careerist: Seven Success Strategies for a Unique Career is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
I have coached executive and mid-level managers on leadership skills, succession planning, strategic planning, organizational change and individual transition in organizations including the ASPCA, Institute for Community Living, the Jewish Museum of Monmouth County, NYC Human Resources Administration, the Campaign Finance Board, MTA NYC Transit, Metropolitan, Harlem, and St. Francis Hospitals, NRG Energy and Roche Pharmaceuticals. I also have provided professional development consultations to faculty at NYU’s Stern School of Business. I am part of the core faculty of the Columbia Coaching Certificate Program, a joint program between Teachers College and the Columbia Business School.
Additional experience includes designing and leading programs on emotional intelligence, leadership development, reflective mentoring, team building, visual problem solving, fierce communication, career development, life planning, strategic learning, coaching skills for leaders, performance management and the personal growth workshop, Women Living for Today and Tomorrow, featured in The New York Times.
I bring an eclectic background to my practice. My skills in getting to the heart of issues and working with clients to craft clear plans grew out of years of coaching, teaching (pre-school through grad school) and training (trainers and line staff through executive managers). This experience set allows me to see the common themes in each client’s experience and use those to develop individualized strategies.
I have a doctorate in Adult Learning and Leadership from Teachers College, Columbia University and masters degrees in counseling and educational psychology from New York University I am an IAC Master Masteries Coach, Past President of the IAC Board of Governors, a member of the steering committee for the Association of Transformational Leaders – Northeast and a member of the board of the American Business Women’s Association, NYC.

I love traveling, still exploring New York, enjoying movies and theater, discovering new restaurants, cooking for friends, meeting with my Transitions Network group, or spending time with friends and family, especially my handsome and talented Godson. And even when I’m doing all these other things, I love taking a pause to smile at the success of my clients, knowing that they too are living their ideal life.
