We design customized processes for intentional, measurable leadership development; succession planning; performance management and other talent management initiatives through a collaborative approach.
Why Choose Us?
Susan Rogers loves to see organizations thrive.
Her expertise lies in partnering with leaders of small and midsize businesses to empower their teams through executive coaching, facilitation, and customized process design and implementation. Susan’s 25+ years of experience as a classically-trained management consultant – paired with her innate ability to connect with others – drives her work to effectively implement organizational change. Her career includes decades of strategic HR work, leadership development, and enhancing employee performance at Deloitte Consulting, Arthur Andersen Business Consulting, and Lexmark International.
When she isn’t inspiring and engaging clients, Susan might be cooking for her kids and husband in Lexington or indulging her passion for interior design (the cow painting in the People Pinnacle office is a must-see!). She moved frequently as a child before settling in Kentucky and still loves to travel, enjoying the experience of new cultures and food.
