About

 

Sue Adams - Executive Coach and Facilitator

 
 

Focusing on people

I have a career in supporting and focusing on people. I am a highly skilled after executive coach, with over 20 years of experience.  I get to the core of the issue with my clients.  I engage, focus, and challenge my clients to reach their leadership goals.

I have worked with executives, executive groups, senior leadership groups and organisations to shape their strategic direction though planning and coaching. I often work on topics and situations which are sensitive and emotive.

My executive coaching can be described as one-on-one leadership development.  As a coach I facilitate client-focused sessions.  I listen, question, encourage, support and challenge my clients.  I provide a structure where goals are set and actions are developed for maximum benefit. Coaching works because clients are supported to set realistic workplace goals and develop achievable strategies and actions to reach those goals.  

An executive I coached recently said, “Sue knows just the right questions to ask, it is like she holds up a mirror, I have become a better leader with Sue by my side”

 I have worked with over 65 Australian government organisations as an executive coach and facilitator. These have included:

Department of Health; Department of Veterans’ Affairs; Department of Social Services; Department of Defence; Department of Education; Department of Finance; Department of Foreign Affairs; Department of Home Affairs; Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet; Attorney-General's Department; Australian Taxation Office; Australian Bureau of Statistics; Commonwealth Ombudsman; and Australian Public Service Commission.
