Susanna Clavello ICF-SA President 2021 | Susana is passionate about helping individuals who are experiencing a great deal of unbalance and overwhelm in their lives. Making lasting changes, growing from adversity, building resilience, and overcoming negative ways of thinking. Susana’s mission is to help people look inward, ignite their passion, discover their true sense of self, regain control of their lives, and increase their productivity and joy of living. Her vision is to provide an extraordinary coaching and training experience, and to make a positive impact on the individual, the organization, and the community. Susana’s approach to coaching is compassion first, then compliance. What this means is that I coach my clients by tapping into their strengths, values, hopes, dreams, and potential. By focusing on the positive, people feel empowered and bring out the best in them. When people become more aware of who they truly are at their core, and believe in themselves and their abilities, they become more self-confident and solution-focused, and ready to embrace any challenge. |
