Bio

Bio Susan S. Freeman, MBA, PCC, NCC, is an executive coach, team coach, author, speaker, and leadership development consultant.
Her approach to Western leadership transformation integrates Eastern wisdom that is derived from more than 25 years of studying yoga and yogic philosophy. Susan is dedicated to helping leaders expand their influence and change the world by making the “inner switch.” Through her novel Inner Switch™ method, leaders learn how to shift from simply “acting” in the world to first “being” within themselves so they can authentically influence others. Additionally, personal benefits of this approach for leaders include improved relationships, health, and overall work and life satisfaction.
Her clients value her skill in helping them unlock the secret to true leadership effectiveness, connect strategy to execution, and increase trust, collaboration, and team effectiveness within their organizations. Susan brings to her coaching more than 30 years of corporate, entrepreneurial, and nonprofit business management and leadership experience. She is sought after by investor-owned companies desiring to reach their next level of growth and profitability. Areas of special interest include team coaching, challenges of entrepreneurship, powerful communication, cultivation of executive presence, and career resilience.
Susan received an M.B.A. with a focus on marketing from Columbia University Graduate School of Business and a B.A. degree in psychology from Wellesley College.
In addition to Inner Switch: 7 Timeless Principles to Transform
Modern Leadership, she is the author of Step Up Now: 21 Powerful Principles for People Who Influence Others.

She holds additional Practitioner certifications in Team Coaching from the Global Team Coaching Institute in the U.K.; in Coach Master Toolkit Consulting from the Center for Executive Coaching; and in the Integrative Enneagram iEQ9.
