About Susan

How did you become an Emotional Intelligence trainer and coach?

First, let me tell you a bit about me personally…

I know what it’s like to wake up in the morning dreading a day at work, driving to the office on autopilot wishing it were the weekend, working endlessly all day, skipping lunch, not taking any breaks. Coming home to an unhappy marriage, a very cluttered home and going to bed each night hating that I had to get up the next morning and do it all over again. There was a time that I hated my life, hated my body and hated myself for not being able to figure it out. And, I was afraid…

I was afraid to change my career, to end my marriage, to let go of my clutter. I feared I’d make the wrong decisions, people would no longer respect me, and that I’d end up very alone and unhappy.

Until one day it occurred to me… my emotions were keeping me stuck! It wasn’t that there was anything wrong with me. It wasn’t that I didn’t have the power to change my life. It wasn’t that I didn’t know how to accomplish my goals or that I was too lazy to do so. It was that I was afraid and allowed my emotions to control me. It’s as simple as that.

So, I set out to understand my emotions… and to figure out how to put myself back into power over them. In 2001 I quit my career as a corporate telecommunications manager and went back to school full-time and earned a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology. Then in 2004 I opened the doors to Susan Liddy International (originally called, Aspire Life Coaching).

The immersion into psychology and personal growth changed the direction of my life and my career, and I eventually became an Emotional Intelligence Coach because only with Emotional Intelligence was I able to  truly create an extraordinary life and a very successful coaching business.

Today I enjoy an amazing career, a wonderful relationship with my boyfriend (yes, I got divorced), I have an extensive network of family and friends, an organized life that includes regular ballet dancing, hiking and horseback riding, and lots of extreme self care! I am more fit and physically healthy than I’ve ever been my entire life.

And, it is my mission to show you how to do it too using the systems that I’ve created that show you how to use Emotional Intelligence to create more freedom to be who you truly are… than you ever imagined possible!

What sets you apart from other coaches?

I have a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology and a decade of experience coaching women to increase their Emotional Intelligence. In addition to a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology I am also a certified professional co-active coach and a professional certified coach with the International Coach Federation. As a member of top coaching and counseling organizations that includes the American Counseling Association, I’ve pledged to uphold the highest standard of ethics and accountability in my work.

My sole focus is on Emotional Intelligence for entrepreneurial and corporate women, and providing you with specific steps to understand and remove the emotional blocks that result in lost revenue, missed opportunities and set ups for failure. My coaching programs include the learning’s from my experience of leading project teams and individual contributors in corporate Silicon Valley plus almost a decade as a heart centered entrepreneur myself.

What type of personality do you work best with and what is expected of me?

Our programs were created for women who are absolutely excited and committed to create extraordinary businesses and end the worry and frustration they feel because they are unmotivated or stuck in fear. They were created for you to go deep within yourself, explore your emotions and connect with who you truly are while you use compassionate accountability to “stay the course” through what used to get you stuck for your business.

Being a high achieving go-getter and heart-centered business owner myself, I’m known to work best with other high achieving go-getters and heart-centered business owners who are not afraid to stretch outside their comfort zone and are super-ready to get going and want to know exactly what steps to take to overcome their fears and create intelligence around their emotions.

As my client, you will be expected to be fully committed and to take serious action. To boldly step into the vision that you have for yourself and your business, as I guide you through your emotional triggers and hold you accountable to your dream.

Who are your programs NOT going to work for?

I’ve discovered over the years that I not meant to work with everyone and that’s okay. I’ve become very selective about who I work with and I cherry-pick my clients, choosing to (compassionately) turn away people who are not suited for my programs and won’t get the results they want. (It would be out of my integrity to do otherwise.)

I do not work well with individuals who are not serious about their career or truly committed to getting what they want. My programs are not affective for those who blame others or situations for their circumstances, who are unwilling to change their perspectives or to deeply explore their emotional world. Nor do I work well with magical thinkers or get-rich-quick dreamers who are unmotivated to do the hard work necessary for their business.

Additionally, I will not coach with individuals (without exception) who choose to constantly whine and complain and remain a victim, as well as individuals who consistently make excuses for not getting their assignments done or challenge every aspect of our work together. If this is you, I politely ask that you not call because we’ll probably just not work well together. Instead, please explore the numerous other professionals qualified to assist you. I wouldn’t want you to waste your time or money. Is that fair?

What exactly does your emotional intelligence program do?

1.) Improve your Emotional Awareness: Learn how to be aware of your emotional triggers and automatic responses so that you can be prepared to proactively respond. Discover how emotional awareness increases your self confidence, ends self doubt and and makes you an extraordinary decision maker.

2.) Improve your Emotional Management: Learn how to quickly shift your emotional state to create more motivation, a more positive mindset and how to strengthen your emotional endurance muscles to make it through the ebbs and flows of being in business.

3.) Improve your Emotional Relating: Learn how to tap into your intuitive abilities to connect with others on emotional levels to be an extraordinary leader and a master relationship builder. Better define your target market, understand what products and services they need the most and your prospects buying motivators. And enjoy superior relationships in your personal life too.

4.) Improve your Emotional Enlightenment: Learn how to deeply and authentically process your emotional experiences to turn every mistake, regret or failure into an important life or business lesson. Make friends with “Little You” within you who has little tolerance for fear, disappointment or doubt and will even sabotage your business to protect herself.

Does this really work?

Yes! The result of our work is a level of emotional intelligence that, over time and with your dedication, works consistently to increase your confidence, self knowledge and accomplish your goals. (See Client Testimonials)
