  • George – GM

 

It was pure chance that Susan and I met but once we did I can't imagine where I would be if we have never met! Her experience, listening, coaching and advice changed the course of my career and after over 20 years in the workforce I finally found my dream job. I was at a career crossroads and wanted to take some time out to really think about what the next 20 years would be about and Susan helped me figure through the spaghetti of thoughts that were in my head with real clarity of questioning and genuine interest in my career. Without her support through this process I wouldn't have had the confidence to say "no" to the job offers which weren't right for me or the skills to handle the various interviews and conversations with my new employer and Susan played a huge role in different stages of this process. Her calm, considered and friendly style really put me at ease to open up, share my hopes and fears and gain clarity on the type of role and organisation which would be the right fit for my personality, skills and passions to all combine. An Executive Coach I would highly recommend and hope to have the pleasure of working with again in the future.

  • Sue - Director

 

To say that I was delighted to have Susan Ryan as a Career Coach would be an immense understatement. Susan provided more advice, support and wisdom then I imagined was possible. Participating in many group sessions, led by Susan as Facilitator, brought out many positive ideas and discussion points amongst the group that would have otherwise fallen by the way side.

I have seen firsthand how impressively Susan can caringly guide and give reassurance to individuals and teams at times when uncertainty and negativity is at its highest. Susan can achieve balance between factual experiences and scenarios with encouraging processes that allow the individuals to reach their goals and maintain their pride and integrity.

I owe a great deal to Susan for all of her direction and positive mentorship. Like many others, I feel that Susan really understood what I wanted to achieve and gave me her time and supplied me with clarity and confidence that I was one the correct path......as a direct result, Susan’s methods and knowledge help land me my dream job.

If ever I need counsel on my career or management style or even my personal traits, Susan Ryan will be my first contact.

I found Susan at Master Class Resumes to be a significant influence in lending clarity, focus and purpose to my CV.  Over the course of just few consultations she managed to completely revamp my CV showcasing my key strengths - even I was impressed by my CV!   With her vast experience and expertise she polished and created facets to my CV - I landed a fantastic role as a CEO of a significant Group of Companies. Noteworthy is her specific contribution to fashion my strengths in the CV in a manner that I was able to get a senior role in a different industry leveraging my intrinsic strengths and experience to my advantage.  I whole heartedly recommend Susan to any professional seeking greater clarity on one’s strengths and marketability, and to leverage them to one’s advantage decisively.  Susan is simply special and anyone can see from her work she is a blessed instrument of the Amazing Grace of the Masters, finding words to capture lost details with succinct clarity and to fashion a purposeful document that uplifted my profile.

Susan takes the time to not only understand the suite of skills required to perform a particular role, but makes sure she understands the broader cultural fit of the applicant within the new organisation and the particular dynamics the individual will bring to the new team. Susan has recruited key positions for me during periods of cultural change and business turnaround, and her skill, empathy, knowledge and experience together with a broader business acumen has resulted in a series of enduring engagements
