Testimonials

I retained Susanna Shamim, principal of Hi-Point Consulting to help me develop a business plan to secure financing for my business. Susanna was very thorough and helped me refine my business model, asked me thought provoking questions and made me do research on aspects of the business that I had not even considered. Her writing of the business was very detailed and made a strong case for why I needed funding. The resulting plan helped me secure a business loan. If you're thinking of launching a business, hire Susanna to assist you--you'll find her guidance and assistance well worth the investment and prevent you from wasting valuable time doing it on your own. — Michael T., Aspiring Business Owner, Las Vegas, NV

Vice President, Providence, Trinity Healthcare Group, Burbank, CA

 “Through Susanna’s guidance I was better able to change my communication style with my subordinates and senior management.  Before I didn’t want to deal with an uncomfortable situation, I would just ignore it and isolate myself and was perceived as aloof and uncaring.  Susanna has shown me how I, as an executive, need to take a leadership role, mentoring junior employees, coaching and guiding them.  With senior managers, I need to develop one on one relationships, learning their individual priorities and personalities and adapting myself to what they need.” 
— Senior Executive Project Integration, Walt Disney Imagineering, Glendale, CA

 My company retained Susanna Shamim to coach me as part of my professional development.  I rose up through the company and never had any formal management training.  Now as a Vice President, my old ways of managing and relating to my peers at this level were no longer working for me.  With Susanna’s coaching, I gained greater awareness and was able to develop a management and leadership style where I’m respected by my direct reports and have gained the support and respect of my peers.
