Susan Gordon Barker

Executive Coach

Grow. Improve. Succeed.

Be the corporate leader you always imagined you’d be and impress the hell out of your CEO.

I’M SUSAN GORDON BARKER, EXECUTIVE COACH

I help corporate leaders succeed in their business goals and in the way they think about how to connect that to their purpose.

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I have a deep passion for leadership development, diversity, and coaching. I am fortunate that I get to work with people in this space for a living, but it is also a part of who I am. I will work with you to dig into where you currently are and where you might want to go. A successful career transition does not happen by accident. It is both an art and a balancing act that requires creativity, an honest inward examination, and a strategy. We will do this together.

My approach isn’t that of a traditional coach, but I have successfully worked with people at every stage of their careers. In order to be effective for you, together we must establish a positive, constructive relationship that provides a framework for assessment, learning, and change. We will get to know one another well. I will provide homework and accountability to aid you in getting you out of your own way. My approach is direct and collaborative. If you are willing to do the work, I will assist you every step of the way. If that sounds like a fit for you, let’s have a conversation.

And by touching their lives, inspiring their lives – you create such a strong ripple Susan. When I talk about a learning moment or something inspiring, my kids tend to ask where I heard/learned it: they ask if it’s my mom or dad of course, but they also add “your friend Susan?

Susan has not only been a valued mentor and coach of mine, but also a dear friend. She intricately balances this by her gentleness, tenderness, and passion in bringing up successful young leaders. We connected immediately after I started my internship at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. I was pleasantly inspired by her utmost humility to link up with me and drive in seeing me succeed. Her guidance throughout the internship period has been invaluable. She gave me nuggets on networking with people and helped me establish a roadmap that contributed to the success of the internship. Through her mentoring and coaching, I see a dedicated leader, friend, and coach who deeply cares for the human person and society. She is a real gem!
