Founder, HobbleJog Foundation, Inc.
Founder & CEO, Swan Consulting Group, Inc.
Credentialed Executive and Physician Leadership Coach
Strength, courage and persistence are not mere words for Susan Hahn, founder of the HobbleJog Foundation. Susan embodies these traits every day as a survivor of a near-fatal accident in 2013. Only six weeks after completing her first triathlon, she was hit by a speeding car while crossing a highway with her bike. She not only survived–she is teaching others to thrive through the HobbleJog Foundation.
Susan is no stranger to coaxing out the potential of others. Her executive coaching firm, Swan Consulting Group, Inc., has been serving senior leaders and organizations since 2001 by providing organizational expertise and leadership coaching.
Before starting her consulting firm, Susan spent 17 years working in executive positions at Sheppard Pratt, a leading Baltimore-based behavioral health system. She started as a clinician, then moved up the ladder to manager, director, and eventually rose to Vice President & Chief Operating Officer. A lifelong learner, Susan holds advanced academic degrees and licenses that bridge psychology and business management.
Susan’s drive to recuperate from her traumatic brain injury (TBI) allowed her to recover the ability to walk and strengthened her body and her mind. Her recovery time taught her the qualities needed to confront adversity and win. Full of gratitude for her life, Susan dedicated herself to helping others and in July 2016 founded The HobbleJog Foundation, named after the half walk, half jog gait she demonstrated as she exercised her way to health. HobbleJog Foundation supports teens and young adults recovering from neurological trauma, inspiring them to reach their full potential.
Her friend and former boss, CEO Emeritus of Sheppard Pratt, Steven Sharfstein, MD noted “Susan, you took a major near-death tragedy in your life and turned it into something miraculous in support of young people who will move forward as our future leaders!”
Susan is also:
- Founding president of the International Coach Federation (ICF), MD chapter
- Published author
- Credentialed Physician Leadership Coach (Physician Coaching Institute)
- LCSW-C
- Inductee, 2017 Top 100 Women in Maryland (Daily Record)
