Susan as a Life Purpose
and Career Transition Expert Susan Osborn, a Life and Career Transition Expert, founded Empowered for Life, Inc. to help people recognize and embrace the opportunities that come with change. As an author, speaker, innovator and Professional Certified coach, Susan has helped thousands with her life changing approach to moving from chaos to order. Known for opening eyes and hearts to positive possibilities, she shares a process for transforming what we find along life’s journey in a way that fosters new patterns of thinking and personal growth. Susan has spent decades mentoring and training others in achieving their goals and dreams, not only as a coach, but as a manager and trainer in an international consulting firm. Yet it was the painful challenges in her own life experience that redirected her to new inspiration and purpose, and a thirst for the study of finding the gifts in uninvited change. She embraced her role as certified Professional Coach as the result of finding her own life purpose (following a job loss) and finding the love of her life (after the end of a 23-year relationship). She became a speaker and author as a result of an experiment she undertook after the sudden death of her husband. Susan combines the practical with the intuitive, inspiring optimism and revealing the opportunities that speak to her client’s heart and soul. Susan's specialized training includes:
Originally a Certified Professional Geologist with a Master's Degree, Susan invested more than twenty years in the environmental field where she was recognized early in her career for her management and motivational abilities. Receiving a project management award in 1988, she grew to eventually support the development of 130 employees; managed multimillion dollar budgets and projects; ran two of her own small businesses; and served as a national trainer in project and risk management and as adjunct faculty at a major university. Her life transitions have included marriage, divorce, remarriage, widowhood, parenting, step-parenting and empty-nesting. |

Susan's Story: Transforming the Landscape of Uninvited Change
Susan has been an explorer from an early age. Yet 15 years ago, she was thrust into a new journey, one that tested her beyond anything previously.
After a successful 20-year career in the environmental field, her job was suddenly eliminated; an uninvited change. Originally a geologist, she felt the impacts of what felt like a lifequake. Like all natural disasters, it served to clear out the old, to create a new landscape upon which to create something new. She began a new journey, taking decades of goal-setting, team-building, management and training experience with her. She began taking risks, and developing new skills, in teaching and building a business.
Uninvited change challenged her again when her 23-year relationship ended in divorce. Feeling spent and a deep sense of loss, she set out on an inner journey and discovered a new world. She learned what it takes to regain vision and find purpose. Her scientific training served her well. She learned to observe her own inner workings and expanded her education in the coaching process and in emotional intelligence. She participated in one transformational program after another with some of the world's most renowned teachers. She learned to balance the intuitive and the rational when approaching the unknown.
Investing tens of thousands of dollars and thousands of hours in personal growth and transformation, embracing change became a way of life for her. She re-engineered her world, building a beautiful new relationship with the man of her dreams, and a blended family and engaged in meaningful work.
Three minutes into her first anniversary, uninvited change decided to test her resolve once again, when her second husband was pronounced dead. Susan once more found herself in unchartered territory. She had already met the challenges of job loss and divorce. Though those experiences had shaken her to her core, Susan was able to explore and regain a sense of self. Now, all that she had learned was being put to the test again with the loss of her husband. Her life became an experiment in determining what really was key in supporting successful transition. She learned how to navigate in times of complete uncertainty.
Today, Susan is the founder of Empowered For Life, and a recognized authority in creating life purpose and helping others in transforming their experience with uninvited change. Susan has created a new, innovative approach to transforming life challenges into gifts.

"..our sessions have allowed me to understand and clearly communicate what exactly I'm missing and what I am looking for in my next steps. This has helped me to have a personal peace with the process of leaving and know that I have completed that phase of this change in a way that I know I would not have without her help."
