Executive Advisor, LLC, was formed in 1997 by Susan Marshall
to help business executives become more effective thinkers,
planners, problem solvers, and leaders. Her work has evolved
over the years, narrowing from a scope as broad as strategic
planning and performance management systems to a targeted
framework helping clients and their executive teams build
rock solid confidence in five fundamental skills.
Proficiency in critical thinking, decisiveness, clarity
of communication, integrity of word and act, and consistency
form a foundation for executive success that applies across
a wide variety of industries, in private sector and not-for-profit
enterprises, and at all levels within an organization.
Building confidence is a process that involves learning,
risk-taking, and feedback, all of which are highly valued
in theory but only rarely evident in organizational settings.
That’s because the vulnerability associated with this
process is not generally sought after! Susan has a deep
respect for people who are willing to engage in learning;
this respect fuels her clients’ aspirations and determination
to succeed.
ARE THESE SERVICES FOR YOU?
All business executives, at some point in their careers,
face situations that call for skills or experience they

carry big costs. Sometimes they spell dead ends to careers.
Some of the most common symptoms of lagging confidence
are poor interpersonal skills, indecision, a sense of being
overwhelmed, an inability to deal with the pace and enormity
of work, and a persistent desire to find someplace to hide.
Generally speaking, clients say that the main benefits
they get from Executive Advisor, LLC are an objective and
