About Susan Ireland

As Founder of Susan Ireland Coaching and Consulting and Co-founder of Seasons Leadership, I am on a mission to make leadership excellence the norm rather than the exception by reaching leaders at all levels of their development. As a former executive, leader in program management, an expert at business operations, and certified coach, I offer a unique blend of experiences and insights that help leaders lead effectively, individuals thrive at work and empower teams to work together better.I partner with executive leaders and business owners to work through challenges and transform learnings into concrete business results. I support you in all your goals toward increasing business effectiveness and quality of life through experienced inquiry, observation, insight, and perspective. Together, we will amplify your positive impact – while allowing you to live the life you want. I developed my skills at Boeing Commercial Airplanes as a program management and business operations leader. I enjoy leading integration and alignment across organizations, suppliers, and geographic locations through Working Together Principles and Practices and effective and efficient leadership and management systems. I am a passionate professional executive coach with 30+ years of business experience. I offer a solid record of success in building leadership and cultural capabilities and driving transformation to support business growth and success. My background includes developing and coaching individuals and businesses, forging partnerships to evaluate and assess issues and barriers, and formulating processes and initiatives to grow organizations, enhance performance, and stimulate business expansion. Throughout my career, I have been valued as a facilitator of personal growth who works with individuals across all management levels to establish, follow, and achieve personal and professional goals.
