Consulting – Suzie Johnson-Smith

Navigate change successfully and build a thriving organization

Are you dealing with change management or cultural shifts in your organization? Facing major staffing changes or restructuring? Maybe you need to rebuild and reshape your organizational culture.

These days, organizations are going through a major reset. Customers, employees, shareholders, and communities all have new expectations. To stay ahead, every organization needs to rethink how it operates. And people drive that change. All the planning, strategy, and innovation won’t matter if your team isn’t on board.

That’s why the process matters as much as the outcome. I help align everyone to your mission, along with the structure, processes, and culture needed to grow. It’s about creating work and an environment that motivates and inspires so you and your team succeed now and in the future.

How do I know if my organization needs your help?

Here are some signs your organization could benefit from my consulting services:

You’re going through big changes like new leadership or restructuring.

You need fresh ideas to boost team morale and improve communication.

You want to make your organization stronger, committed, collaborative and adaptable.

You’re navigating interpersonal challenges or conflict within the team and trying to get everyone working towards the same purpose.

Consulting sessions

When we begin, I’ll meet with you to understand your challenges and where you need support. From there, I’ll create a plan just for you. This might include workshops, facilitated meetings, one-on-one coaching, or team-building exercises.

For interpersonal challenges or team conflict, I like to meet each member individually to get a sense of their strengths, issues, and goals. This helps me tailor sessions or workshops to fit everyone’s needs.

Let me be part of your success story. Schedule a discovery session.

Her guidance improved our communication, built a strong foundation of trust, and ensured consistent messaging for staff. Suzie helped us create a team charter and vision that aligns with our goals, fostering a clear direction and purpose.

Suzie is incredibly knowledgeable and has an innate ability to meet people and teams where they are, helping us address unique challenges and move forward effectively. Her talent for fostering growth and development within teams makes her services invaluable.

“We contracted Suzie to provide professional development and support for our human service team. As we began moving away from a consultative service delivery model and closer to a coaching-based service delivery model, we understood that we needed to engage and support our team with ongoing, consistent coach training.

Working with Suzie as a team has had immeasurable benefits. Most importantly, I highlight the growth in confidence that I now see in our service delivery, which results in consistency, transparency, and equitable service. I also notice the confidence each team member has in themselves as coaches. This impact is HUGE and ever-present.

I would highly recommend Suzie to any organization or individual. Her approach is engaging, approachable, and, most importantly, human-centred. There is an ease to her coaching that truly empowers those she works with. This is not to say that she will not challenge you to think more deeply. Building both self-reflection and self-awareness is her gift to you should you choose to ‘dance in the moment.’

Suzie is a highly skilled facilitator, yes, but most importantly, she is very approachable and non-threatening. This is extremely important when exploring a ‘new’ way of showing up for yourself professionally and personally.”
