Dr. Susan C. Martin, Ed.D., PCC
Founder, Smart Career Design
I'm an ICF-certified coach (PCC), trained in women-centered coaching and applied positive psychology, who helps women with PhDs reclaim their power, clarify what’s next, and create careers and lives that reflect their values, strengths, and purpose.
Drawing on over 30 years of experience in higher education—and specialized training in women-centered coaching (with Dr. Claire Zammit, Founder, The Institute for Woman-Centered Coaching, Training & Leadership) and positive psychology (Certificate of Applied Positive Psychology with Emiliya Zhivotovskaya, founder of The Flourishing Center )—I support women navigating career transitions, reinvention, or job search with clarity and confidence.
My coaching blends deep listening, mindset transformation, and strategic guidance to help clients break through internal barriers and take bold, aligned action—without needing to have it all figured out first.
At Smart Career Design, my boutique coaching company, I facilitate high impact transformational group experiences and offer personalized one-on-one women-centered coaching to a select group of awakening women with PhDs and doctorates who are ready to step fully into their greatness.
