I'm Susie, Founder of Hi.Ho.Coaching
With over two decades of experience in the corporate world; Strategic Buying, Commercial Negotiation and Leadership, I have personally experienced the complex challenges of navigating a demanding career while raising a young family. I returned to work after having children to high-pressure environments - and I know how hard that transition can be.
After navigating my own return to work as a parent, I realised that professionals don’t just need encouragement - they need practical strategies, personalised support, and someone who truly understands what they’re facing.
Hi.Ho.Coaching provides exactly that:
Before founding Hi Ho Coaching, I spent two decades navigating the high-stakes corporate world of strategic buying, commercial negotiation, and leadership within some of the UK's most prominent retail organisations. My career trajectory took me from entry level positions to Head of Trading and Commercial, where I led multi million pound negotiations, managed complex commercial contracts, and drove business strategy at the most senior levels.
Yet beyond my corporate achievements, I experienced the profound challenges of balancing professional ambition with parenthood. I witnessed talented professionals, particularly working mothers, struggle to rebuild career confidence after parental leave, face unconscious barriers to progression, and feel increasingly marginalised from career paths they were passionate about.
Meanwhile, organisations often demonstrated well intentioned approaches but critically lacked the practical, strategic support needed to retain and develop returning talent.
Hi Ho Coaching was born from this lived experience; a mission to transform how businesses support professional parents and how parents navigate complex career transitions.
My approach is distinctly different: I don't just coach career development theoretically. I bring extensive commercial expertise, strategic insight, and a proven track record of navigating complex professional landscapes.
My unique methodology combines:
-
Practical commercial strategy developed through 20 years of leadership experience
-
Authentic understanding of parental career transitions
-
Actionable coaching techniques focused on tangible career progression
-
Strategic approach to rebuilding professional confidence
Whether you're a working parent seeking to reignite your career or an organisation committed to developing and retaining exceptional talent, I provide the strategic support, commercial acumen, and no nonsense coaching needed to achieve meaningful results.
Let's transform your professional journey—with clarity, confidence, and purposeful strategy.
