Meet Sookyung Suh Ph.D., PMP

I believes in the transformative power of skilled guidance to help individuals and organizations navigate challenges, uncover their unique visions, and create strategic pathways to success. Inspired by the art of wayfinding—where intuition, skill, and courage guide explorers across uncharted waters—I founded Wayfinder Advisory to empower leaders and teams to achieve their goals with clarity and confidence.

Organizational Change Management: Drawing from over 20 years of expertise across government, Fortune 500 corporations, management consulting, and higher education, I bring a uniquely comprehensive perspective to change management and leadership development. My extensive work in organizational transformation in various industries allows me to bridge complex systems with human-centered approaches. I specialize in helping people and systems thrive through significant change and growth.

Executive and Professional Coaching: My coaching philosophy is grounded in a trauma-informed, whole-person approach that recognizes the complexity of modern leadership challenges. Whether I'm working with highly accomplished professionals, designing innovative leadership programs, or facilitating organizational change, I integrate evidence-based methodologies with deep emotional intelligence. This distinctive combination of academic rigor and practical experience enables me to help clients transform obstacles into opportunities and align their vision with meaningful action. I completed Emory University’s advanced Executive Coaching diploma and Lodestar’s Professional Coaching program and obtained their Trauma-Informed Master Coaching certificate.

Leadership Development: I bring diverse experiences and an inclusive approach to cultivating leadership excellence. My work empowers individuals to lead with intention, authenticity, and impact through self-discovery and evidence-based methods.

With expertise in medical education, trauma-informed coaching, and research, I offer tailored solutions for complex leadership challenges. I’ve designed and delivered a nationally recognized leadership program at a medical school, fostering transformative growth. My scholarly work is featured in international journals and books, and I regularly speak at national and international meetings, advancing evidence-based leadership practices. Whether developing a leadership program or enhancing individual capabilities, I provide flexible, expert support to meet your unique needs and goals.

Let's connect if you're ready to explore what's possible—for yourself, your team, or your organization. Together, we'll find the way forward with purpose and clarity.
