Suzanne Zemke – Management Coaching for Success
Management Coaching enables managers, whether they are team leads, middle managers or executives, to develop and apply planning, delivery and leadership capabilities so that they can realize their aspirations and break free of of the obstacles that hold them back.
Manager’s Aspirations:
- Are you ready to make a real difference at work every day?
- Are you ready to create a career that you can be proud of?
- Are you ready to release the power of your team so that you consistently deliver tangible return on investment for your organization?
The Manager's Dilemma
Your role as a manager is to manage the day-to-day while delivering against the business strategy but you struggle to reach your potential because..
- you have been elevated into management roles with little management development.
- you have little time for professional development now so you use command-and-control and micro management just to keep your head above water.
- expectations for your success are ambiguous and due to the cross functional nature of your responsibilities, they may be in conflict with each other.
- your bandwidth is shrinking; you are managing more delivery and more complexity with fewer resources.
- you operate down and a few levels across from the Executives who are setting the corporate strategy you are tasked with implementing; you have little access to the decision makers.
Costs of the Manager’s Dilemma
- Burnout
- Low morale
- Low productivity
- Resistance to change
- High turnover
- Limited management role models for junior staff

Management Coaching Vision
Suzanne has run both the London and New York marathons in the same year. When she started training she could only run three miles.
“During months of training I came to realize that I possessed the determination and vision that would enable me to stick with my training and achieve my marathon goal. These qualities have made me successful throughout my life but it took a marathon to help me recognize that they have always been part of who I am. I believe that everyone possesses the resources they need to achieve their most precious and challenging goals. My goal as a management coach is to release these resources in each of the managers I coach.”
Suzanne Zemke.
