Susan
I am an organizational consultant, leadership coach and owner of Susan Ludwig Consulting & Coaching
With an M.Ed. and Associate Certified Coach (ACC) certification, I bring a holistic and empathetic approach to leadership development and coaching. I partner with leaders at all levels—aspiring and established—helping them expand their skills, deepen self-awareness, and drive meaningful change.
Drawing on 20+ years of leadership experience across healthcare, not-for-profit, and higher education, I understand the complexities of matrixed organizations. I collaborate with clients to build talent capabilities, design sustainable programs, and foster impactful conversations that fuel growth and transformation.
My expertise in learning & development and organizational effectiveness cultivates trust, equipping leaders with the perspective they need for informed decision-making. Guided by wisdom, compassion, and practicality, together we uncover new insights, inspire purpose, and create lasting impact.

I believe in the power of courageous leadership, values-based work and regenerative change to create spaces and systems that can meet the demands of our evolving, complex and uncertain world.
My work focuses on a systems-based approach and can therefore create impact at the individual (leadership and personal) and team levels as well as the broader stakeholder system. The approach I use is customised to each client:
My Approach
You can find me cycling, kayaking, creating an organic vegetable garden and caring for cats - whether ours or those needing foster rehabilitation. I can also be found at rallies protecting our land and water and singing with the social justice choir, Common Thread! I live with my long-time partner and 2 cats in Toronto.
