About Me
Meet your Coach
Welcome to a journey of transformation and growth!
I’m Susana Rodrigues, and my journey began in Portugal, followed by transformative chapters in South Africa and Mozambique, where I embraced the richness of diverse cultures and perspectives.
These early experiences shaped a lifelong passion for understanding human behaviour, which I channelled into a 13-year career in Human Resources, spanning various industries and international settings.
My path took a profound turn when I discovered the transformative power of coaching. This realization ignited my commitment to helping others craft lives of purpose, fulfilment, and intentionality.
Today, as a bilingual (EN|PT) Executive Coach, my mission is to:
– Empower leaders, senior managers, and professionals to reach their full potential and redefine success in their lives and careers.
– Partner with forward-thinking organizations to elevate executive teams by cultivating resilient, balanced, and visionary leaders who inspire meaningful change.
– Support clients in aligning their unique strengths, skills, and values with leadership demands, driving greater impact for themselves and their organizations.
As a Certified Coach (ICF) and former Human Resources Director, I combine executive experience with coaching expertise to guide clients on transformative journeys, empowering them to thrive professionally while designing the life they truly want.

Testimonials
I am honored by the trust my clients place in me to support their growth. Together, we build a partnership where they dream big, own their journey, and create lasting positive change. Their achievements reflect their commitment, and I’m proud to help unlock their potential and achieve their goals.
“Susana helped us pave a new path toward the goal of aligning teams to achieve common goals.
Through our sessions, we transformed ideas into a framework and a tool. By gaining a deeper understanding of the brain and emotional activation mechanisms, we developed ways to use this knowledge to enhance team motivation and interpersonal relationships.
Using self-reflection and self-awareness frameworks combined with methods to better understand the strengths and values of the entire team, we created tools that are now at our disposal. These tools allow us to better understand, engage, and motivate every team member.
This has opened new opportunities in the ongoing pursuit of supporting teams in achieving their proposed goals and results.”
DESFO Holding.
“I started working with Susana almost half a year ago, during a particularly difficult time for me, both personally and professionally.
Susana was insightful and able to analyse the key issues that lied between what I was (and wasn’t) saying, and challenging me to answer difficult, but necessary, questions. As a result, I became more conscious and self-aware, and slowly started to reshape my mindset. Soon enough I found myself being able to focus on what I really wanted to achieve in the different areas of my life and commit to that path.
For reminding me that I can be whoever I want to be, I will be forever grateful.”
Human Resources Director.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Susana for her outstanding coaching services. She established an open and inviting atmosphere and through engaging exercises, skilfully guided me in crystallizing and prioritizing my key goals. I particularly appreciated her commitment to structured sessions, to establish a focused and effective approach but also a system of accountability. Furthermore, she underscored the importance of taking an active role in my personal development, making it clear that while she would provide guidance, I would be responsible for carrying out the necessary work.
The experience was enlightening and anyone opting for Susana’s services will experience significant benefits and personal growth.”
Senior Project Manager.
“I was a coaching client of Susana Rodrigues, and I highlight her knowledge and competence. Her very transparent and focused strategy provided progressive clarity, centred on who I am and the results I want (and can) achieve. Throughout the process, Susana was punctual, respectful, and brought technical knowledge that allowed her to address any issue in a highly appropriate, thorough, and effective manner—leaving a deep sense of satisfaction with the outcome. Thank you very much, Susana”

“The journey with Susana’s guidance proved to be absolutely transformative, both professionally and personally, equipping me with distinctive concepts and tools in a reconstruction process grounded in focus, consistency, personal strengths, and a fresh perspective on all dimensions of any situation. Her guidance is objective and genuinely human.”
Law Firm Manager.
“Coaching sessions with Susana have been a tremendous support in my professional and personal journey. In our sessions, we reflect, explore, and define strategies that have greatly contributed to deepening my self-awareness and overcoming various challenges I thought I couldn’t handle. I highlight her availability, dedication, flexibility, and professionalism in the way she conducts the sessions. In fact, I found added value in every session, and I wouldn’t give up this time dedicated to myself, my self-awareness, and my growth as a person and professional.”
Head of Organizational Strategy and Analytics.
“Nowadays, with all the pressures we face in our lives, it is increasingly important to maintain focus, concentration, and to celebrate successes along the way. Regular and structured coaching enables this to happen and grow.
I have no doubt that coaching is one of the most important tools for both professional and personal success.
Susana helped me establish and achieve my goals and was instrumental in the incredible year I am having and will continue to have.”
