What People Are Saying

  • “Exceeded my expectations!”

    “Exceeded my expectations! I'm really excited to work with Sujei and in just the first 30 minutes of being coached by her I was confronting things I hadn't realized before. She seemed to really understand me and she has already helped set me on the right path to better build the life that I want.”

    —Lee, Program Manager, Planned Parenthood

  • “Sujei not only knows how to guide, but does so in such a light-hearted way.”

    “Sujei is truly an extraordinary coach. I met her shortly after joining my most recent employment, and we have been working together for the last 5 months or so on ‘whatever is most helpful to me’; that's her offering at the beginning of every session. Even though I am very familiar with counseling, coaching and leadership, Sujei has amazed me in every session with her ability to listen, ask questions, connect the dots, and have me come up with answers that serve me. She has offered books, stories, metaphors and a great dose of humor to support the advancement of our work. She has helped me tactically on having crucial conversations, and also digging deep into why I give things the meaning I do. Becoming better is hard work, and Sujei not only knows how to guide, but does so in such a light-hearted way. I so look forward to our weekly sessions!”

    —Joseba, VP of Mechanical Engineering, Verdant

  • “She helped me quickly uncover unconscious patterns of behavior.”

    “When I first connected with Sujei, it was during a very challenging time at work. She helped me quickly uncover unconscious patterns of behavior and how incorporating small changes could start to lead to the life-work balance I craved. As I prepared for a promotion conversation, she was instrumental in helping me role play scenarios to advocate for myself. And we wrapped up my coaching experience by setting intentional goals to help set me up for success in 2022. Thank you for all your guidance, feeling energized and ready for what comes next!”

    —Shelly, Sr. Marketing Manager, Workday

  • “The word I find to define it is serenity.”

    “This evaluation has been not only about this session but considering the whole coaching period with Sujei. I'm clearly on a different spot in my professional and personal live with disruptive changes on my wellbeing and emotional intelligence learning to "look at me" and consider my personal needs. The word I find to define it is serenity. Thanks for Sujei for making me run out of excuses several times so that I had to get into myself and look for alternatives. A great experience.”

  • “Sujei always asks the right questions.”

Hi, I’m Sujei

My name is easiest said (Sue-hey). 

My educational background is in Industrial/Organizational Psychology with current areas of interest in emotional intelligence, positive psychology, life design and mindfulness.

I use neuroscience and evidence based approaches in my coaching process.

For over 20 years, I have helped individuals, teams and entire organizations reach their goals. I have worked with all levels of an organization from the front line to C-suite.

My global clients span from start-ups, manufacturing, tech, government, finance and more.

Now, I look forward to working with you!

I am proud to have worked with clients from the following companies:

And, if you really want to know about me…

Why am I a coach?

I can tell you that, it was my interest in psychology and people that was sparked the moment I stepped into my first high school psych class that drew me here—which is true.

I can tell you that, while consulting I noticed that there were deeper issues in the relationships amongst people that were impacting the success of the enterprise and not just processes, resources or projects – which is true.

I can tell you that, I noticed EI was a critical skill not just for leaders but for everyone in how to better understand themselves & others and manage themselves and their relationships – which is true.

I can tell you that, I have seen my own life change by utilizing EI and profound changes in those of others I have worked with – which is true.

However, the core truth became clear one day.

I was not seen & heard as a child, (my emotions did not matter & were not welcomed) and I deeply understand the significance of being seen and heard.

Simply, I want to provide that for others so they can learn to listen to themselves and their true wishes and ultimately express them in the world.

This is Luna and Emi, two important parts of my daily life and well-being. They are the ones who pull me away for a walk, scratches or just to play. We all love getting out in nature and going for hikes, beach walks, or sitting at an outdoor eatery.
