Executive Coach For Senior Leaders

With 24 years of experience, I specialize in supporting CEOs, C-suite executives, and senior leaders, to lead well in the face of uncertainty and change. 

Having worked with thousands of leaders across most industries, my focus is on helping top executives to navigate the complexities of leadership, enhance their personal well-being, and achieve their definition of success.

Although I’m often hired to keynote or design and lead executive offsites, my true passion lies in one-on-one coaching. 

I understand that leadership at the highest levels is demanding, exhausting, and often lonely. 

The decisions you make, and the pressures you face, are unique—few people truly understand or fully appreciate all that you carry.  

Through personalized coaching, I provide a confidential space for leaders to reflect on their challenges, gain deeper self-awareness, and make the small shifts that lead to significant impacts in both their leadership and overall well-being. 

I hold a Master’s Degree in Coaching and Consulting/Applied Behavioral Science from the Leadership Institute of Seattle, a Bachelor’s in Psychology from UBC, and a Diploma in Technology from BCIT. I’m certified in The Leadership Circle Profile 360 and a member of the Forbes Coaches Council. 

I’ve also completed several advanced programs, including Landmark Forum, Advanced Negotiation, Singularity University’s Executive Program, and Peter Diamandis’ Abundance 360 mastermind. Additionally, I’m certified in Plant-Based Nutrition.

On a personal note, I’m a wife, mother of two, and lifelong learner with a deep interest in neuroscience, meditation, and yoga—passions that enrich my work and enable me to better support the world’s top leaders.

If you are exploring the benefits of working with an executive coach, please feel free to schedule a 15-minute call with me at susannebiro.com

My promise is that any time you spend speaking with me will be inherently valuable for you.

Our daughter was recently chosen as the first girl to Captain her city’s U15 hockey team, a team of boys.

She shows up each day doing what she loves—working hard, respecting others, and giving her best for the team. Quietly consistent. Always early. Always encouraging. Always learning.

We share this not just for what she’s accomplished, but for what it represents. That every small act of character matters, as it clears a path for others to follow. 

For every girl who dreams, know that your dreams are possible!

Coach to C-suite and executive level leaders. Inner Life Leadership App. Forbes. TEDx. Author. Executive Development Program Designer. Real Estate Investor.

Confidant & Coach to C-suite and Executive Leaders | 200+ CEOs & Thousands of Senior Leaders | 24+ Years | Global Experience Across Every Major Industry. Author of “This Could Be Everything” susannebiro.com/book

One of the greatest gifts of my career has been discovering how generous and truly extraordinary people can be. Years ago, I was invited to an entrepreneurs gathering at Sir Richard Branson’s home on Necker Island, curated by the amazing Fiona Macintyre. The leaders I met there were warm, brilliant, accomplished, and driven. 

That experience changed me.

I learned something simple and true: the people who achieve the most are often the ones who give the most. They know how demanding the journey is, so they encourage you, challenge you, and lift you higher. 

Many of these individuals have since become dear friends, and when I asked if they would read my new book and offer an honest review, they said yes instantly and then lent their reputations to my work. 

That their names and work will travel with the message of my book means everything to me. These are some of the greatest (and busiest) human beings I know.

“Susanne has written a powerful guide for anyone ready to step into deeper leadership and a fuller life. This Could Be Everything is equal parts wisdom, clarity, and courage.” - Asanka Pathiraja, Emerging Growth Investor, Manhattan Lawyer, Wildlife Photographer

Thank you friends. I look forward to returning!

It Doesn’t Matter What You Do. It Only Matters Who You Become. When my son first started at The Keg at fifteen, I was immediately struck by their culture. Thoughtful onboarding. Clear values. A belief that every role matters. And no matter your age or background, everyone begins as a dishwasher.

It is hard, humble work. The kind that builds character.

This year, each Keg location selected the best in every role, from cooks and servers to hosts and dishwashers. All of these top performers from several cities and townships were invited to Vancouver for a special celebration, which even included a limousine ride to the event!

Now sixteen, my son was chosen as the Best Dishwasher at his location. Watching him take the most foundational job and pour care, pride, and exceptional effort into it reminded me that success has little to do with what you do and everything to do with how you do it. 

For anyone who wants to make their tomorrow better than today: susannebiro.com/book

A special thanks to The Keg Steakhouse + Bar for creating a culture that recognizes excellence at every level.

These might be the most important words I have ever written. So important that I spent the last three years writing an entire book on them.

They come from twenty four years of working directly with thousands of senior level leaders.

What I have learned is this:

Leadership success, culture, and trust all rise or fall on the inner life of the leader.

This book is the roadmap I wish every leader had.

If you lead people, or develop leaders, I wrote this for you.

Bryan Howard and April K. 
I am looking forward to attending your session on Internal Communications That Boost Results November 18 🌟

Internal communications should move the numbers, not just make noise. In this fast session, you will see how the right plan and execution improve outcomes in any business, why executives unintentionally derail messages during change, and how to read your rumor mill for advantage. We will also cover why comms do not change culture, what actually does, why awareness alone stalls progress, and which tools you already have to build a strong plan.

Who this is for
Senior executives, HR leaders, people leaders at any level, and professional communicators.

You will learn

How strategy and execution link to engagement, productivity, quality, satisfaction, culture, and retention

Common C-suite pitfalls during change and practical fixes

How to understand and use the rumor mill inside your org

Why culture is created by behavior and decisions, not messages

Why awareness without a clear action fails

How to start a grounded internal comms plan with assets you already own

Bonus for attendees
All live attendees receive the 2026 Internal Communications Planning Guide, a $900 value, to help you set strategy and start the year with confidence.

LEADERS work to make our world better 🌟 This is leadership!

We believe that millions of people are either not getting enough food or getting too much of the wrong food.  So we are on a mission to better feed the world. Potatoes are one of the world’s most efficient crops. Not only are they good for you, they’re good for the environment.

By going back to the potato’s roots, we have uncovered the same types of potato varieties first cultivated: small, highly nourishing, diverse, and packed with flavor.

Our goal is to cultivate potatoes that are again full of flavor and bursting with nutrition. This amazing vegetable is a gift and we see it as our job to bring the potato back to its original glory.
