A successful athlete has a coach, a successful business executive needs a coach to be on top of the world with a motivated team.

1. Strategy – the strategy and saying in the mountains goes ‘go slow to go fast.’” Skinning demonstrates the importance of pacing yourself well. If you go too fast you will be exhausted at the top.
2. Team building & Training – ‘put the right people in the right seats on the bus’ to drive to success. Training is inevitable and a never-ending journey. We can learn from the best. ‘Think like the pro, be the pro.’
3. Evaluation – a phase where I am reflecting and fine tuning my efforts. This is a re-calibration phase for reflection.
4. Planning & Execution – My bucket list: I planned it and I am executing while having fun and challenging myself.
5. Success - here I am on top of the mountain celebrating.

About the Author

Susanne grew up in Thun, Switzerland. Her curiosity for creativity and innovation brought her to New York, the Big Apple, to learn from the world while working for Swiss Air Lines in sales and marketing; for the Swiss Mission to the United Nations; and for Nestlé, the largest food company in the world. Through this global exposure, Susanne developed her expertise in leadership development and cross-cultural awareness. Her passion to learn more has led her to travel to more than 50 countries on five continents, and she has learned to speak five languages; at the same time, she still feels there is so much more to see and discover. Today, Susanne is an executive coach with super cool clients around the world. The Internet is an integral part of her ability to coach such a diverse global community. Susanne believes in embracing a healthy lifestyle as part of her daily routine. Her mental ability and strength have helped her to train for adventures like climbing to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, crossing the New York City Marathon finish line 15 times, and finishing 11 other marathons, though her most daring quest was to try skydiving, which helped her conquer her fear of heights. This perseverance proves Susanne does not take NO for an answer, and she is not a quitter. The Ironman is tough, and she considers herself an Iron Woman. She is strong on the outside, but soft on the inside. Her endurance is her meditation. Her mantra is train your body, train your mind. With a happy and healthy mindset, you, too, can conquer the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Power of Coaching
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2020
I just finished reading Susanne Mueller's book Take it from the Iron Woman, Global Coaching with Sports Parallels. What an inspiration!

Susanne's childhood was spent in Thun, Switzerland, an idyllic village in the Swiss Alps. Susanne always had a lot curiosity about the world beyond Thun, so when she was offered a job in New York City, she jumped at the chance. From there, Susanne's journey took her to over 50 countries so that she is well-versed in many different cultures and also speaks five languages fluently. Susanne takes her reader along with her as she gains education and experience on her way to becoming a full-time business coach.

On Susanne's "bucket list" was a goal of completing the Iron Man triathlon. She shares all of the extremes of training for the event along with her experiences of mentoring and coaching. This was a very big accomplishment for her. With Susanne's curiosity and love of learning, her bucket list will never be empty.

Th Iron Man, along with other athletic accomplishments, started Susanne thinking about how many of the things which are necessary to accomplish athletic goals could also be applied to business. In particular the importance of a team working together in sports and in business building a team with Executives and their teams. And thus began a full-time, satisfying career as a business coach with sports parallels.

This book really encouraged me to start setting my own goals.

Read the book. Then contact the author if you're interested in assistance in reaching any of your personal or business goals. If Susanne's coaching style is not what you need, she will be happy to refer you to another professional who might be even better able to assist you.

I met Susanne last year on a meeting, and she is such an inspiration! Her book "Take it from the Iron Woman" is a great coaching tool! I love business so I might be biased, but, it makes business even more fun and easy to understand. BUY THIS BOOK, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
