"Lori is quick to see the truth in a situation and, importantly, help me see the truth in it. In our busy lives, it can sometimes be hard to make the space for coaching. But I got something out of every single session with Lori, and left feeling energised and clear headed. She is very strategic, able to identify a clear path forwards, as well as being incredibly empathetic and able to see all sides of an individual from a personal and professional perspective.
With Lori’s support and perspective, I’ve now moved into a C-suite role that I love - I will be forever thankful for her coaching."

"Lori is a unique kind of executive coach—insightful, precise, and several steps ahead of the moment you’re in. Time and again, she’s helped me navigate complex leadership challenges with a level of foresight that feels almost uncanny, yet is grounded in her deep operational experience and business acumen.She doesn’t just support professional development—she accelerates it. Lori sees patterns before they form, prepares you for outcomes before they unfold, and equips you with the tools to lead with intention and authenticity."

"Lori Sutej changed my career trajectory, and there is not a day that goes by that I don’t think of her, and the strong foundation and launching pad she provided me as my leadership coach. She taught me how to advocate, to push, to reflect, to challenge, to lead. One particular key skill that Lori has above all others is the ability to see the whole chess board, and be probably four or five chess moves ahead of those she was coaching. She prepared me for MANY moments long before I myself saw them materializing, and that skill only comes from experience, intelligence and an incredible coaching skillset."

Her insights and strategies have provided me with unparalleled clarity on my goals and the steps needed to achieve them. I am now equipped with a clear roadmap to navigate towards my aspirations, thanks to Lori's guidance."

"Lori has an incredible ability to listen deeply and connect with the human details of one’s journey. She thoughtfully tailored her coaching to align with my identity, history, and passions, making her coaching both actionable and deeply personal. Through her guidance, I gained a clearer understanding of my potential—not just in my current role but far beyond it. She’s more than just a coach—she’s a mentor, an inspiration, and someone who naturally brings out the best in people."

"Through her executive coaching, I learned how to refine my communication, shape my career story, and navigate high-pressure situations with confidence. Lori also introduced me to the power of networking, helped me see how my experience could transfer across industries, and equipped me with tools for leadership development to engage effectively with people at every level of business, including the C-suite. Her guidance has had a lasting impact on both my career trajectory and my confidence as a professional."

We all assume we’re clear with our direct reports, peers and leaders yet clarity is often where things break down. I help you uncover and articulate your expectations and ways of working, then build a personalized "operating manual" that you can share and stand behind.

I’m not here to change you. I help you see your strengths and add a few new “channels” to work with. Together, we’ll dial things up or down so you show up naturally—and in a way that truly lands with your audience.

Given the breadth and depth of companies, countries, and clients I’ve worked with, I use that intel to help career coaching clients think bigger and uncover new possibilities and paths forward.

Prioritization may seem simple and obvious, yet it remains a top challenge for most of my clients. I help you get clear on what matters, align your calendar to match, and communicate your priorities effectively up, down, and across.

Whether you fear presenting, struggle with imposter syndrome (which I frame differently), lack clear boundaries, or are navigating a career pivot...together we'll uncover what's going on, get clear and build a path to solve, improve, or eliminate what is holding you back..

As we work together, I’m paying attention to the unwritten rules shaping your workplace: who truly holds power, what actually drives promotion, and which behaviors leaders tolerate versus celebrate.
Working Rhythm
I work with clients in 3-month coaching partnerships, meeting weekly or bi-weekly.
