I’m the founder of The Heard Leader, a Certified Mindset and Leadership Coach, and a lifelong horsewoman.

 

I help professional women who are spread thin, stressed out and feel unheard to discover their authentic voice, and develop grounded leadership skills from the inside out so they gain the recognition they deserve, and achieve the results they want — without burning out, losing themselves, or feeling like they have to push harder to be seen.

Blending my background in the Fortune 500 arena as well as in the non-profit world, along with my life- long experience with horses, I approach these challenges in two different but complementary ways:

 

  • Personalized virtual mindset and leadership comprehensive coaching packages:  

      Here we delineate your goals and develop the insight, focus, and forward momentum you need to           create change.

​​

  • Experiential group workshops and retreats: Here horses serve as dynamic partners in self-awareness, growth, and leadership development, creating transformative. non-mounted learning experiences that stay with you long after the session ends.​

Whether we're working directly with horses or applying what horses can teach figuratively, you'll get the space to slow down, hear yourself think, find your voice, so you can start showing up in a way that's congruent with who you are. Your voice matters. Your leadership matters. And it starts from within. 

At the Heard Leader you can:

1.

Calm your mind and get a clear sense of direction.

2.

Develop stronger communication and presence.

3.

Build unwavering confidence.​

4.

Share your power, purpose, and balance with others. 

 

 Surviving and thriving in a herd is all about operating as a unit to promote optimal living for the whole. When we interact with horses we get a visceral experience of how we are showing up, and what it takes to be heard and accepted by the herd, insights that help us with our human herd.

As Eleanor Roosevelt said, "the way to begin is to begin!"

"Intuitive. Empathetic. Creative. Solutions-oriented. This describes Susanna Thomas in a nutshell. She graciously holds space, intently listens, and masterfully mines the insights required to help you remove any barrier you face. Each session I had with her enabled me to move forward in meaningful and powerful ways."
