Susan Lynch, Certified Life Coach for Personal Development
Founder and principle coach at the coaching life company. She is accredited through the Open College Network and adheres to her own professional life coaching standards and the International Coach Federation code of conduct, which is available upon request. She is also a member of the International Coach Federation. Susan is
passionate about her work and this is her top priority in choosing other life coaches to work with. ‘If I am not passionate about what I am doing, how can I expect to inspire others and communicate that to others? My passion is my driving force and I know how lucky I am to have found that. However, I believe everyone is passionate about something – sometimes we just have to find it.”
Before setting up the coaching life company, Susan had a long spell of over thirteen years in the fashion industry working for one of the leading fashion houses. Which on paper looked great. Her career was upwardly mobile, she achieved her sales budgets twice yearly resulting in large bonuses and she wore beautiful clothes. Somewhere along the line, Susan changed. “My life felt like an unending series of diary events that I didn’t want to attend.” The values that attracted her to a job of long hours and a large wage no longer satisfied her needs or wants. Susan was very unhappy and unsatisfied. She knew something had to change but she didn’t know how to do it and with added responsibilities of bills to pay and a mortgage – she was scared to make any decisions.
“A friend recommended a Life Coach to me. It took me a week to call her and the rest happened over a period of time. It really was a catalyst for where I am today. I still check-in with her now – three years later. She helped my to uncover my dreams – dust them off and actually make plans to achieve them. I live my dreams. In October 2006 I moved to Marbella to live by the sea in the sun for a few years. As most of the coaching sessions happen on the phone, our business operates in London and Madrid now but really we can offer coaching anywhere in the world so long as you have a phone line.”
