About Suzanne Ferguson

Suzanne Ferguson, founder of Suzanne Ferguson & Associates, is a life and business coach, trainer, and speaker. She has been a leader in the field of personal development since 1998. And, for more than 30 years she has been a catalyst for those who seek to be their best.

At the age of eight, Suzanne awakened to an inner knowing that “there must be more” to life than the adults around her were demonstrating. She began wondering what that “more” was, how she could find it, and what her role in life would be. As she grew, so did her desire to make a difference in the world. Since that young age, Suzanne has used her life - rich in experience - to evolve, to open her heart, and to understand herself, others, and the world around her.

Suzanne draws on this wealth of experience to empower and support her clients. Since 2001, she has coached business owners, employees, and individuals from a wide range of professions, how to fully realize their own potential and pursue their dreams and goals.

Regardless of where they work, or what they do for a living, all of Suzanne’s clients share one common attribute: They want “more.” More out of life and more out of business. And they want that more to make a difference. Her pragmatic approach combines inner awareness with action - leading clients to tangible, powerful, and measurable results.

Recognizing that one size does not fit all, Suzanne’s approach is multi-faceted and highly personalized: “I view my role as a communication specialist, applying intuition and active listening to facilitate the coaching process. By building a partnership based on trust and integrity – and by providing feedback that is both direct and caring - I can support my clients as they open to their own innate wisdom.”

Suzanne draws from many tools as she works with her clients and perhaps the most powerful tool in her toolbox is Psych-K ®. Psych-K supports emotional evolution by identifying and changing our self-limiting beliefs. This technique reprograms the subconscious mind, supporting client’s to breakthrough obstacles previously in their way and move forward to achieve quantum levels of success.

Suzanne is a graduate of the Institute for Professional Empowerment Coaching, which is accredited by the International Coach Federation (the internationally recognized association of professional coaches). She has an Interdisciplinary Studies degree in Psychology, Sociology, and Social Work.

A former social worker, Suzanne transitioned to coaching and training as she came to believe that the best “social work” begins with personal empowerment. Owning and operating two home-based businesses and raising two (now grown) children gave her the tools and skills necessary to support her clients well.

After growing up in the Baltimore area, Suzanne has lived in rural West Virginia, upstate New York, and a small town in central Pennsylvania. Each move presented additional adventures, meaningful relationships, and the challenge of creating her “best life” in a new locale.

Since 2005, Suzanne has made Pittsburgh her home. She resides with her husband Glenn, in an urban neighborhood where they are regular volunteers for environmental and community planning projects. She also enjoys outdoor activities, cooking, music and dance.

Suzanne is affiliated with the International Coach Federation, as well as the Pittsburgh Coaches Association. She is the past president (2007-08) of Three Rivers Rotary Club and is an active member of the Monroeville Area Chamber of Commerce, The Network of Excellence, and Pittsburgh Professional Women.
