About

Inspire • Acquire • Empower

As a coach, facilitator and educator, my aim is to inspire you to trust your own wisdom, support you in acquiring new skills and perspectives, and empower you to move toward the outcomes that matter most. Above all, I strive to be present, authentic, and trustworthy—walking beside you as you discover what’s next.

I’m Susan White Ahl—deeply passionate about supporting growth, transformation, and the courage it takes to navigate change using the tools of adult transformational learning theory, deep listening, and the principles and practices of Courage & Renewal®.
For many years, I measured my worth through achievement—checking the boxes, striving for the A, and chasing outcomes. I believed the product mattered more than the process. Then life brought me a “disorienting dilemma”—grief, compounded losses, and the challenge of restructuring both my personal and professional identity while balancing family and multiple roles.

During that time of transition, I engaged the power of person-centered planning, reflective practice, inquiry, and curiosity. I learned to trust my own inner compass—to align intention with action, and to use reflection as a way to “know where to G(r)O(w).” Through this journey, I earned a Professional Coaching Certification and a Master’s Degree in Adult & Higher Education, deepening my commitment to listening—both to myself and to others—as a foundation of meaningful growth. Along the way, I also became a Courage & Renewal ® Facilitator and a Certified Grief & Bereavement Specialist. My personal experience within liminal space deeply informs my professional practice as a coach, learning and development consultant and facilitator.
