Susanne Schantz
Leadership Coach, Culture & Change Specialist, Facilitator
Susanne is a coach and consultant with a focus on cultural and team transformation. She loves to work with individuals or teams that need to understand themselves or each other in a deeper, more human way and has spent 25 years helping organisations and teams change the way they manage and adapt to the incredible pace of change.
“From big corporates to SMEs and startups, I've had the privilege of stewarding many firms through strategic changes to the way they do business.”
She has an international background across various sectors and industries and has worked at all levels of leadership. Having spent her career helping people change the way they manage and adapt to the incredible pace of digital change, Susanne has a deep understanding of how these challenges emerge, how we encounter them and what to do to help navigate through them. Susanne’s global experience and early entry into the digital world puts Susanne in a unique position to honestly and quickly help companies, teams and people change. Her focus is never just on the technical or task side of change, but on the people and processes that wrap around it.
Susanne brings excellent team-building skills, a curious mind and a keen desire to foster positive relationships in the world and her breadth and depth of experience makes her well-positioned to help people through transformative and chaotic times.
Disruption and change are never easy for humans to work through, but there are many things that can be done to help, and there’s nothing Susanne finds more rewarding than partnering and supporting people through these times. Using honesty and kindness as her north and south poles, Susanne is wonderfully equipped to be a “critical friend” and change partner to any human or organisation going through transitions of all size.
