Success Leaves Clues with Susanne Muller-Hubsh

In this eye-opening episode of The Business of Coaching, Sarah speaks with Susanne Muller-Hubsh, a former mayor in Brussels whose journey into coaching began under the most extreme of circumstances. Susanne shares her transition from the high-stakes, often dangerous world of politics to becoming a specialist coach for leaders navigating intense public pressure.

About the Guest:

Susanne is a German-born lawyer and former politician who has lived in Brussels for nearly 20 years. After years serving as a political advisor, she was elected as a local councillor and eventually served six years as a Mayor, managing major urban development and public space projects. Seeking to balance the negativity of political life, she pursued a Master’s in Positive Psychology and Coaching at the University of East London, which ultimately provided her with a new career path.

About the Episode:

Sarah and Susanne discuss the unique challenges of coaching individuals in roles where personal safety and public reputation are constantly at risk.

Key highlights include:

• Life Under Protection: Susanne recounts the harrowing period when she was under police protection and had to move her family due to death threats and harassment sparked by her political work.

• The Gap in Support: Why standard coaching or therapy often falls short for politicians, who need someone who understands the "normal" (yet shocking) realities of political life without being overwhelmed by them.

• Transitioning the Message: How Susanne navigated the difficulty of returning to social media after experiencing intense online hate, and how she cleaned her digital presence to build a new, supportive platform.

• The "Men in Politics" Surprise: Susanne discusses why her coaching practice, initially intended for women, has seen a rapid uptake from male politicians who recognise their needs in her specific marketing message.

• Language is No Barrier: Working across French, Dutch, English, and German, Susanne shares how the fundamental pressures of political life are universal across Europe.
