Kind words from a professional woman 12 years into her retirement:

“The process from the beginning to the end was very helpful for creating a realistic plan for me to feel better about where I am, where I am going and where I want to be at age 77. Susan is a wonderful skilled and thoughtful guide with many years of experience and this program was very valuable to me. I feel much better about myself and my life and I am grateful to have had this opportunity. I have a strong feeling of gratitude to Susan for creating this wonderful program.”

“after fifty years of employment….”

“ I had many questions about what the future would look like without the structure and demands of my working life. Susan helped me immensely navigate these uncertain waters in a caring, thoughtful way, leaving me freer to move forward in life generally.

My experience with Susan was very positive, insightful, and productive.” ~ Retired professional man

Appreciation from a consultant planning her retirement:

“The exercises that Susan designed led me to a greater understanding of what is important to me as I transition from my current career. The tools she introduced will guide me as I explore my options so my choices are aligned with my values. I am now excited and optimistic about what my future holds.

Susan is a gifted facilitator and coach. Her gentle guidance and suggestions encouraged all of us to broaden our thinking and to see opportunities.”

Recommendation from a retired professional woman:

“Susan was highly recommended to me by a friend. With her guidance,I was able to get my thoughts in order, focus on what is important, make a clear plan, identify my own needs, and finally to take specific steps toward meeting them. In addition to her excellent professional techniques, Susan’s gentle and open demeanor created an environment where I felt safe and in good hands.

I highly recommend her.”

Words of confidence from a Caregiver, 4 years retired:

“The program was professionally and warmly facilitated by Susan.

I felt safe and encouraged to take steps forward.

A great experience!”

Recognition from a newly retired manager:

”It’s scary taking the step to let go of the security of work and its routines. I have defined myself by my career for a long time. I turned to Susan Farling for advice and found that decision to be one of my best. Without Susan’s empathy, insights and expertise, I think I would have lost sight of my goals. Now I am a new retiree, starting to relax and feeling so grateful I was able to have that support and guidance from Susan. Thank you, Susan, for helping me get here!”

…and from a newly retired CEO:

“I was brand new to retirement when I first signed up to work with Susan.

I re-read the exercises she led me through in our six months together and am profoundly grateful for the gift she gave me – the gift of learning to be rather than to do. When it happens, it feels easeful and natural.

She leads with deep trust, with humour, and grace.”

Appreciation from an office worker in her twenties:

 “I cannot put a price on the clarity that I have been able to find with the help of your guidance and support. Going through life with much improved self love has boosted my confidence like I never knew possible.”

and from an author in her fifties:

“Thank you for your help with my best I can be day-by-day mission. The work you do has a huge ripple effect.”

a helping professional in her forties:

“Susan has helped me to see myself as resourceful and courageous. Her ability to gently, but firmly, challenge perceptions has allowed me to heal, thereby enabling me to be the parent I want to be and find the partner I deserve. Susan has exceptional skills.”

a scientist in his forties:

“Working with Susan I feel safe, grounded and enlightened.”

a writer in her fifties:

“We dealt with some very hard things – including cancer, together. Susan was instrumental in helping me to get through breast cancer with my sense of humour – and my sanity – intact. I have had chronic fatigue for a long time and I had more-or-less given up on having a direction for my life but Susan helped me to discover a new path. I also admire Susan for her commitment to personal and professional growth. She often attends workshops and training sessions to help her to grow professionally and as an individual. All this and she’s funny and warm and a joy to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend Susan to anyone who needs help.”

an artist in her sixties:

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Susan Farling’s skills. She is compassionate, perceptive, observant, pragmatic and creative. I’d recommend her to anyone.”

and an early thirties government employee:

“Every time I leave a session with Susan, I feel lighter, more grounded, inspired, and ready to take on the world again. Whether I am seeking counsel about something deeply personal or whether I need guidance on how to approach a subject like career transition/advancement, I know that Susan will offer me solid guidance and support, in her own compassionate and constructive way. Simply put, Susan is the best, and her sense of humour is so poignant and well-timed; it helps take the edge off of some of the subject matter, without compromising the integrity of the session.”
