Sue Bates strategic leadership coach

Every Great Leader Deserves Someone in Their Corner

Early in my career, I discovered what many of us eventually realize: I could go further, faster with someone in my corner—someone wise, objective, and fully invested in my goals and passions. Coaching shaped my future - and can do the same for you.

I’m passionate about unlocking the potential in others. I bring a strategic, compassionate approach rooted in proven tools and frameworks and always tailored to your unique path.

About Sue

As an avid learner with a love for great resources, you’ll usually find me juggling a few books, podcasts, and articles at once. I’m always curious, always learning, and I love diving into expert insights I can share with others.

Impact that Lasts

“Everyone needs someone who can reflect back to them honestly and kindly.…that’s Sue Bates, and that’s how she has helped me for over a decade.”
