About

Hello! I'm Suzy Ryan!The bulk of my career has been in management & organizational development with a ton of motivational psychology to get groups working well together.Over the years, I realized that I also did a lot of counseling and coaching every week. People still tell me they feel safe and unjudged sharing their innermost thoughts with me.My personal integrity in that regard is important to me and I have been preaching the importance of "relationship-based leadership" for many years!It is the people within an organization which make the difference.I began writing online back in 2008 about intention and purpose in programming. At the time, one of my many roles was as music director for a church.I often wrote about it not ever being about the music or a performance, but understanding and intentionally using music as a vehicle for ministry to people.⭐️Most know me now for my Professional Cat Herding in real life as well as online community programs or for my pet portraits done through my Big Black Dog Studio.Still others know me from my early local community event days with Bellwether Opera Company or from my vocational ministry days.There are strengths we each have that we take for granted because they are normal to us, yet others are amazed at our abilities to do things they might not be able to.I help people discover the amazing talents they don't realize they have so they are able to step into and own their awesomeness intentionally and confidently.When 2020 kept me from leading events in person, I made the gradual switch from in-person to online coaching & counseling.CatHerdingPro and BigBlackDogStudio are my social media handles and through which I offer individual counseling & private coaching sessions.⭐️If you are needing individual support to help you past a stuck point and are ready to get your sparkle on, I am here to help you get your glitter going!
