🎯 What is Coaching for Causes? Coaches donate one coaching hour to anyone who donates $75 or more to a cause of their choice — 22 causes, 17 coaches, one powerful mission. 🧠 The cause closest to Caroline's heart: Her father survived GBM brain cancer for 13 years. Brain tumor research is one of the least funded cancer causes, now facing even more cuts. This drives everything. 🍽️ No one should go hungry: Susanne is donating her coaching hours to World Central Kitchen and Doctors Without Borders. World Central Kitchen with 100,000 meals served in Gaza, and first responders during the LA wildfires. 📣 From Broadway to social change: Caroline's career path — theater marketing → social cause communications → her own coaching business — has always had one through line: lift people up. 📅 May is the month — sign up now Mental Health Awareness Month + Brain Tumor Awareness Month + International Coaching Week = the perfect moment. Go to the site, pick your coach, pick your cause, donate and book.
My passion and purpose have always been to support individuals in work and life. In 2017, I realized my dream of creating a world and business dedicated to helping others achieve their goals while dedicating more time to volunteering and giving back.
Prior to starting CKL Strategy, I spent 20 years in advertising and communications agencies in strategy, client and account management, project management, business development and leadership.
My career began in live entertainment, progressing in the industry’s top two agencies over 15 years. As part of agency leadership, I managed regional and local teams and impacted agency growth and operations. I opened and oversaw satellite offices in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, drove new business growth and developed client and partner relationships nationwide.
In the latter part of my corporate career, I moved into social cause marketing, working in government, non-profit, education and automotive industries. Through this work, I discovered my love for developing talent through coaching, training and facilitating.
A New England native, I now live in Santa Monica, CA with Jules “Bug”, my rescue Schnoodle. I am an advocate for the brain tumor community, volunteering as an American Brain Tumor Association peer mentor as well as serving on their Volunteer Leadership Advisory Council and Host Committee for the Los Angeles 5K annual fundraiser.
I am also a very proud “Big” with Big Brothers Big Sisters Los Angeles.
