About
Susan B. Silverman is the founder and principal of Susan B Silverman Consulting who partners with you for success.
From years as a practicing attorney, running my own business, and being part of a busy family, I have significant experiences, deep insights, and broad involvement while achieving professional and personal milestones. I bring that wealth of experience to my clients’ life and career pursuits. I understand the unexpected directions that our lives can take and have encountered the challenges of life and career transitions. My professional and life experiences position me to support others in developing and fulfilling their life and career goals.
As a consultant and certified life/executive/attorney coach, I assist and support individuals through life’s transitions and stages by forging a path that supports and develops their personal lives, careers, and well-being. I help my clients focus on and complete their mission while achieving work-life balance. With my breadth of experience in the legal and business fields, I add tremendous value to any individual, organization, or business seeking support in their life and career development.
I love a challenge and working with others. In particular, I find it extremely fulfilling to help clients achieve success. I am a trusted partner, aiding them in discovering clarity and creating action plans. During our in-depth conversations, my clients can cut through the mental clutter to focus and effectively complete their work to excel in their personal and professional lives.
I have successfully provided coaching services to many individuals across various industries, including lawyers, business executives, pharmaceutical executives, healthcare practitioners, administrative professionals, and numerous others.
When working with clients, I develop trust through listening, empathy, and maintaining positivity. By making connections and establishing rapport early on, a team-oriented focus results. Both analytical and strategic, I am tenacious and work tirelessly toward a goal. I’ve cultivated strong and lasting partnerships at every career step to achieve goals and exceed expectations.
I possess strong educational credentials, including an undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Illinois, a Juris Doctor (JD) from IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law, a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and I am an International Coaching Federation Associate Certified Coach (ACC). I practiced commercial litigation for 6 years. Additionally, I am a certified practitioner of several assessments on leadership, personality, and emotional intelligence that I administer and interpret to provide advice to and coach my clients.
As the Founder and Principal of two companies, I am a true entrepreneur and self-starter. I am deeply motivated to achieve my objectives and assist my clients in their pursuits. I earned my MBA while working as a lawyer, and this knowledge and experience give me unique insights into the legal and business fields. I’ve written and presented extensively on career and life development and transitions, and I also excel at marketing and business development strategies.
I love helping people find clarity in their personal and professional lives and creating action plans to achieve their life and career goals.
Let’s touch base! Together, we can move toward brighter futures!
