Wohl Consult - Susan Reppe

I help mid-sized businesses bring new leaders into their roles in a few months to exceed expectations on both sides.

I was a leader for 20 years and know what matters and where the pitfalls are. It was always important to me that my leadership team developed a sustainable understanding and behavior—modern and people-oriented.

I turned this intention into my calling. I know that good support in the early stages of a leadership career has a lasting impact. You’ll see it in employee satisfaction and in customer satisfaction. Ultimately, it fuels your company’s growth.

You’re in the right place if you need for your new leader:

  • A role model with the expertise of an experienced executive
  • A sparring partner
  • A catalyst for handling conflict situations
  • A sustainable leadership approach for your company
  • Ideas and solutions to optimize everyday leadership processes

I’m happy to look behind the scenes to develop the right strategy and solution for the unique challenges of your leader.

Use my expert knowledge in organizational development, outsourcing, process optimization and transformation for your next level.

  • Many leadership topics can come up in a company.
  • Each is as individual as the company and its people.
  • What I know is my vision: I want to help small and mid-sized companies move into the future, succeed long term and reach their goals.
  • With leaders who are physically and mentally fit and can steer their company’s fate.
  • And together we look at where they stand now, where they want to go and if I can guide them.

Summary

Why isn’t your new leader meeting your expectations? A few weeks ago you appointed a new department head.

What you hoped for:

  • A problem solver who makes the department successful.
  • A motivator who drives your team to top performance.
  • An empathetic leader who retains your experts in the long run.

What you didn’t expect – your leader is overwhelmed and seems helpless.

But the potential is there! It just takes time for leadership skills to develop and mature.

If you look at your company’s future with a focus on success, how much time can you afford?

You know the saying: "Grass doesn’t grow faster by pulling on it!" That may be true, but with the right fertilizer and good care, you can boost growth. That’s exactly what you can achieve for your leader. Invest in the right leadership development coaching.
