Before I started working with Suzanne, I actually didn’t know exactly what my problem was except that I was extremely unhappy and was lost on what I needed to do with my career.  I felt like I wasn’t able to connect to people.  I was afraid to speak up at work in front of large groups of people in fears that I was wrong, which hindered me from progressing.

I had actually never been to any type of coaching of this nature before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect.  However, during my first session with Suzanne, it felt like I was speaking with a long-time trusted friend.  She was encouraging and gave me lots of insights on the importance of self-awareness and confidence.

Developing confidence was important to me because a lack of confidence was affecting the way I was interacting with people.  I didn’t realize that because I was afraid to speak up about my opinions and thoughts, that I wasn’t being genuine to myself or others around me.  I was a “doormat” as Suzanne would say!  And because I wasn’t being true to my feelings, in my personal life, that led to toxic relationships. Also, in my work life, that led to me being unhappy because I was making decisions to take on projects that I wasn’t interested in.

Suzanne is very encouraging and made me feel very comfortable in sharing my feelings.  She also challenged me to realize for myself the reasons for my past beliefs and negative thoughts.  I appreciated her patience and upbeat attitude.  Suzanne always made sure that I came to my realizations on my own.  With her homework exercises, she allowed me to discover for myself how I came to where I am today, and what I could do to change.  Also, the stories and experiences Suzanne shared with me inspired me to see beyond the current situation.

After working with Suzanne, I definitely have a greater self-awareness.  I say to her all the time it’s like having my blinders off on life.  One of the biggest changes in me is that I’m no longer afraid to speak up about my opinions.  With Suzanne’s help, I realized that negative thoughts were keeping me from speaking up and voicing my opinions.  The techniques that she’s taught me have helped me to gain courage to speak up and use my voice.

Also, before I met Suzanne, I had actually read a lot of books to gain a better understanding of myself.  However, I found that I still wasn’t getting the answer I was looking for.  It was only after I met Suzanne did I fully understand the message those books were trying to say and what it translated to me in my own life.

I would definitely recommend Absolute Confidence. Suzanne is not only friendly and encouraging, but she challenged me and made me think for myself about the reasons why I wasn’t happy in my life.

Now, I feel that I’m a happier and more confident person.  I am not constantly second guessing myself and the decisions I make or things that I say.  I also feel lighter as I didn’t realize before how tiring it was to be always second guessing myself!

Before I started working with Suzanne Fetting, I was hitting a low point in my business.  While I’ve started out with lots of energies and ideas, the hardship of running a business all on my own with little to no support sapped my energy levels and confidence.  At one point, I was even considering closing my doors in utter frustration.

However, as a business woman I made an effort to associate with successful business women.  It is through them that I realized how vital it was to remain self-motivated and that self-confidence is a cornerstone in business success.  To this end, I was motivated to invest in myself just as I invested in business by participating in Suzanne’s confidence program.

Having Suzanne made a positive difference in my life.  During her program, I had a cheerleader of one who kept me upbeat and challenged me to keep a positive mindset.  From her, I learned how crucial optimism was to ensuring business success.  Now, I have become more aware of how negative my thought patterns are and she has given me tools to help create healthier, more positive thought patterns that boost my energy and creativity.  I am also cultivating healthier relationships with people who will become part of my cheering team and now appreciate the value of a positive support network.

I recommend Absolute Confidence if you are at a point where you may not see a way up or out.  The road is there, and Suzanne will help you find it.

“I found Suzanne at one of the lowest points in my life.  I had no self-esteem, was overweight, depressed, alone, had closed myself off from the entire world and was just ‘existing not living.  I had so many fears, like being in public or feeling that I was different than everyone else and I was going to be alone forever.  Suzanne showed me a new way of looking at life and myself and took me out of the fog that I had been living in for 46 years and made me finally see daylight!

With Suzanne’s contagious zest for life, her constant encouragement and her warm and friendly disposition along with my hard work (yes, you must do the work to reap the rewards!) I can truly say that I have changed my life.  I have confidence that I never thought possible and people are always telling me how much I have changed and I tell them it was all because of Suzanne!

After 23 yrs of office work I am now pursuing my passion of working with animals and have met the most wonderful man.  You can’t put a price on that!

Thank you Suzanne, love ya!”

“I have struggled with low self-esteem and confidence issues for many years and have had help with it in the past but nothing seems to have solved the problem. I felt that, being in my thirties now, it was time to do something about it! Enter Suzanne Fetting of Absolute Confidence. I saw an ad for one of Suzanne’s other businesses in a local paper and came across her Confidence website. Since working with Suzanne I have felt a dramatic increase in my confidence level and have pursued things I’ve felt I deserved in life and received them! While patient, friendly and understanding, Suzanne has a no nonsense approach and has held me accountable for not doing assignments and for making excuses. I would not hesitate to recommend Suzanne Fetting as a Confidence Coach to anyone who feels they are not living the life they want or deserve.”

“Before I started working with Suzanne I was a very negative person who expected to fail at everything I attempted.  I did not feel worthy of any praise.  I avoided talking to strangers and did not talk a lot to anyone else either.  I realized that people around me did not enjoy my company.  I wanted self confidence so people would enjoy being around me.  In a very short time after working with Suzanne she gave me the tools to change my life.  Suzanne made me feel comfortable, she is easy to talk to, encouraging, spoke to me like a friend who cared what happened to me.  She is a happy, inspirational person who changed my life.  I now look forward to being with friends and also speaking to strangers I meet at parties, events and even in a store.  I think most women could benefit from Suzanne’s confidence coaching.”

- Beverly S.

“I love Suzanne! She helped me focus on the things I wanted in my life, instead of the things I didn’t want.  She helped me set goals in all areas in my life and kept me accountable to them.  I’ve learned so much about myself over the last few months from my sessions with Suzanne.  She really cares for her clients by being genuine and encouraging.  Ladies, she is definitely worth the investment!
Suzanne, you have truly been an inspiring coach.  Keep doing what you are doing for all the women out there.  You are helping each one of us to achieve our absolute confidence in ourselves.”

“I thought about the idea of seeing someone to help me with my confidence because since high school I have had some troubles being confident. I was always nervous to go to events and meet new people and it was affecting me in my work and other aspects in my life. But after leaving a bad relationship, I figured now is a better time than ever to get my life going, moving forward. After first meeting Suzanne, I had a feeling her confidence coaching would work. She is so nice and approachable, like a friend you have known for a while, and right off the bat she was helping me. She has great exercises that seem hard to do at first (like finding you inner worth) but they are all so worth doing and she has good recommendations on books to help you along the way. I couldn’t have asked for more. Now I walk a little straighter, I have a great job now that I love, and I feel I can do anything. I have recommended Suzanne to all my friends and I recommend you call her too, it will totally change you for the better.”

“It all started with a lazy Wednesday afternoon. Not looking forward to my evening politics class, I was surfing aimlessly on the internet, looking for a fast way to kill time without having to resort to small talk with fellow classmates. And coincidentally, I stumbled upon Suzanne Fetting’s promotional page for a seminar targeting women’s confidence. Intrigued, I made a self-daring step and registered for the course.

I have always doubted my capability in being confident. Perhaps it was all the stereotypical messages from the media that made me believe how a real “successful” person should look like, and how my temperament was not designed for that level of excellence. Or maybe it was the overflowing negative experiences from childhood that had sculpted me to dislike myself and fear criticism to the point of becoming a people pleaser. I used to live in insecurity everyday, constantly calculating the “errors” and “misrepresentations” of my physical image, while trying to change myself to talk and act the “correct” way via observing others. But as what most know—and even subconsciously, I figured—that such attempts are not the ultimate solution to improve one’s character. Deep down, I was still the same person, except for the extra layers of facades with which I need to keep up. It was very exhausting and frustrating; even though I realized what a socially confident individual appears like, I had no idea how to become one.

Suzanne’s workshop immediately clarified tons of my burning questions. I began to understand the fundamental basis for confidence and the fact that practicing as a skill is the way to better myself. Learning to be confident is not a quick fix by imitating others or “faking it”, but a personal discovery to self-worth and positive outlook on life. After taking on one-on-one coaching lessons with Suzanne, I was bombarded with numerous unfamiliar yet valuable, life-altering concepts. Wanting to change can be scary at first, especially when I was given multiple challenges every week. However, I lived up to my expectations and did not disappoint.

Suzanne made sure I understood each important component of the lessons and continuously expressed faith in my abilities. I now know that being shy does not equal standing in a socially inferior position; a person can overcome anything with a fearless attitude that does not falter at the face of rejections. In fact, I think having “quiet confidence” is just as attractive as the being the talkative extrovert next door! Instead of struggling to blend in, I strive to be different; because I know I can and I like it.

Thinking back to my less-glorious days, insecurities and constant need for approval dominated my social life in a sabotaging manner. Throughout the metamorphosis stages, I can see so many apparent improvements from within. For instance, I never even had the courage to eat lunch alone in the past; but now I have no problem attending all kinds of events solo! Instead of hiding in a corner, fiddling with the phone, or pretending to read as a way to avoid awkward social interaction, I am able to stride out confidently and initiate a conversation with strangers.

Also, I am beginning to shed off the “doormat” and “yes girl” label through a nice touch of assertiveness along with an all-time respectful demeanor. This has not been an overnight accomplishment; and even with these positive changes, I still have the ultimate responsibility to continue the learning process. In essence, I acknowledge the fact that although seemingly trivial, confidence encompasses many significant aspects of everyday life. In order to improve what is on the outside, we should first discover and then learn to flourish our personal “core”. I shall never forget how ecstatic I felt when a friend, who has been a close part of my life both before and after the one-on-one coaching, chimed in: “Geez, Amanda, I can tell you’ve become exceptionally confident! You used to be so shy and timid… now look at you! You are Miss Popular!”

I feel liberated… Thanks Suzanne! You rock!!”

“I used to care what others thought of me and let the fear of their opinions control my life, I knew it was time for me to spread my wings but I needed the guidance. Then I met Suzanne and she coached me through the know-how and I succeeded in my own way. You have definitely had a wonderful impact on my life. You’ve given me the ability to find my strength and confidence and I’m in-touch with who I am now, thanks to you, I think it’s wonderful that you’re offering this service to women out there

Thanks Suzanne for helping me reconnect with my true self and empowering the strength within.”

“It is rare when you find somebody with the sincerity that you have, Suzanne.

“I have attended Suzanne´s informative workshop about how to love myself and feel confident about myself. It really opened my eyes to everything that I didn´t believe in myself.

This workshop changed my life forever and I have tears in my eyes just writing this.

I used to take diet pills every day not liking who I was or what I looked like. I was very negative and depressed with my life.

Suzanne had a slide show prepared with photos of her Empowered Women icons then photos of unhealthy women supermodels to illustrate what the media does to put unrealistic body images in our impressionable minds!!After seeing this I went and bought myself a big bouquet of Sunflowers and threw the pills away!!! Her teaching style really gets down into your soul and brings out a Powerful new beginning to your take on how you think and perceive other people and yourself in such a positive way that I am left wanting more and more of Suzanne´s very true Positive outlooks and Classes!! I realized there are other women just like me and it helped to talk with them and discuss dreams, goals, aspirations and how to achieve them. I will attend more of Suzanne´s classes for supercharged confidence and Fabulousness every day!!”

“I attended Suzanne Fetting´s workshop in March 2009. I was very inspired to learn and explore more about myself by the end of the Confidence Workshop that Suzanne instructed. She communicated very important thoughts and ideas that I had never thought of before and went into detail as to what confidence really meant. I found Suzanne to be an upbeat, enthusiastic, caring person and immediately hired her as my personal confidence coach.

Thank you Suzanne. Your services do make a positive difference in others… I am proof of that!”
