“Steph takes a very responsive approach to coaching and is great at listening and customizing to your needs. I have worked with other coaches who have a set approach and protocols they use which were helpful, but I felt like I was taking a class rather than getting individualized coaching. Steph is also action oriented and was a great thought partner and accountability partner to make sure I wasn’t just talking about my needs but moving toward action."

“I went into our work with a relatively myopic lens of areas I wanted to improve and instead came out with a whole new framework around which to interrogate my current work and inform my planning for future work and in general better understand my value-add.”

“Steph is an incredible listener. She reflects back not only what I said, but what emotions she saw, and how this topic fits in with other themes we have discussed. Engaging with Steph is the deepest form of being seen.”

“Steph can make anyone feel seen, heard, and appreciated. She is an actual magician with people issues.”

“Stephanie is able to quickly boil issues down to their core and drive solutions forward with the team. What may seem like an unhinged argument around the meeting table can quickly become a productive session. While this is certainly a valuable skill, the true asset is being able to get to the correct decision without having any prior knowledge of the subject, using just the expertise of those in the room and logic.”

“Steph listens authentically and quickly pulls out the underlying questions/needs/emotions/dynamics to help you analyze the situation and come up with a plan for moving forward.”

“Steph is a brilliant problem solver, has deep integrity, and a magnetism that makes even the trickiest issue seem like a fun puzzle.”

“My work with Stephanie has been nothing but successful. My company leadership improved immensely, my core team improved immensely, revenues and profits were all up, and the team was functioning well.”

“Steph is a natural connector and champion of people – she truly is happiest when seeing others succeed. There is an analogy I have referenced over the years regarding Steph. First, she reminds me of a sherpa – when you are going on a treacherous hike, for which you need support and encouragement along the way, from someone who is going to help you achieve your goals, you want Steph by your side. She can see the terrain ahead, help you navigate obstacles, see yourself in the moment and avoid pitfalls! She’s there with a hot cocoa and an encouraging note when you do hit challenges, and the first to celebrate when you reach your goals.”

“In all of these very challenging, and sensitive situations involving significant organizational change and extremely demanding and difficult personalities, Stephanie was the foundational element that enabled the parties to reach the goals, and she did so efficiently, thoughtfully,carefully and with incredible self-awareness around the role she needed to play and the advice to give the parties. In all instances, Stephanie helped the teams see and then effect the changes necessary for both businesses to evolve and grow. Without her expertise, grace, insight and empathy, both situations could have ended up in a disaster.”

“She may make her point in the nicest way possible, but she stands her ground, and has an incredible talent at pivoting the focus back onto the individual for some much needed circumspection.”

“Stephanie does not come to any situation with pre-conceived ideas about what the outcome should be or how to get there. She first listens carefully, asks thoughtful and probing questions, challenges assumptions when necessary, and then takes time to ruminate and consider before proposing action or plans.”
