"I’ve done the Gallup Strengths coaching with Susan Gordon and it has COMPLETELY changed the way I view myself and my skills. As someone who has struggled with depression and anxiety, I cannot overstate how much better I feel after working with Susan. I now celebrate my unique skills combination rather than worrying about why I saw the world differently to other people".
Heather Sharkey, Owner & Problem Solver, Sharkey and Consultants

"Online Electronics Ltd recently asked Leith Gordon Ltd to deliver an awareness session on Emergency Response procedures. Susan delivered the session with great professionalism and really took the time to understand the needs of our business. She used her experience of living and working across the globe to give us real life situations that we could relate to. I cannot recommend Susan highly enough and we will definitely use her services again in the future"

"I asked Susan for some help when I was in the process of changing jobs. She provided common-sense, helpful insights and patiently coached me through upgrading my profile. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leith Gordon Ltd, whether you are an individual looking for confidential support or an organisation looking for a larger piece of work."

"I worked with Susan, when she was on her international assignment in Baku. True professional with all the needed skills for her job. She accepted cultural difference for the country she was working in with great respect and showed her understanding of local traditions. Susan was a good colleague and it was a pleasure working with her."
