Meet Susan

Executive Coach & Organizational Psychologist

I’m Susan Otim-Neal – Executive Coach & Organizational Psychologist at Syncerity Speaks®. I help leaders expand their capacity, increase clarity, and become more skillful – particularly in navigating complexity, difference, and conflict.

My work spans one-on-one coaching to strengthen leadership presence and effectiveness, facilitating meaningful group interactions that strengthen team performance, and developing transformative courses and programs in purpose, personal leadership, and presence. I support neurotypical, highly sensitive, and neurodivergent (Asperger’s/ASD) professionals in developing leadership capacity while working skillfully across differences.

With a Master’s in Industrial & Organizational Psychology from the University of Maryland and Fortune 500 consulting experience at Booz Allen Hamilton and Robert Half International, I bring deep expertise in integral human development, leadership coaching, and team development. At the heart of my work is a simple belief: when people bring their whole selves to life, they bring their best selves to work. It’s why we say: Lead with Presence.
