In this episode of Founders Future, with host Milan Kohut, we are joined by Susan Power, the founder and CEO of PowerUp Leadership. Susan shares her journey from a 20-year corporate career in human resources to launching her boutique leadership coaching firm.

Her mission is to crack the code on leadership development, moving beyond trial and error to provide authentic, value-based coaching that unlocks team potential.Today, PowerUp Leadership specializes in helping hyper-growth, private equity-backed companies scale effectively by focusing on their talent strategy. Susan delves into how her firm helps these organizations retain top talent, attract the best people, and develop strong leaders through coaching and skill-building. She also outlines her ambitious plans for the future, which include aggressive growth through acquisition and the strategic integration of AI to augment human coaching, all while sharing the valuable lesson she'd give her younger self about flexibility and redefining success.
