Leadership today goes beyond expertise. It’s about shaping culture, developing others, and driving aligned action across the organization. As responsibilities grow, so do the challenges. Success at this level requires perspective, presence, and a focus on impact and execution.
Coaching offers a confidential space to reflect, gain clarity, and make intentional shifts that improve effectiveness. Leaders deepen self-awareness, build confidence, and enhance their ability to influence across levels and contexts.
Each of our engagements is informed by operating experience and grounded in neuroscience. We begin with a focused assessment of leadership style, strengths, and challenges to establish a clear starting point. From there, we design a practical, high-impact path forward that aligns with real-world demands.

Teams are dynamic systems where individual shifts influence overall performance. Small changes in how members interact can significantly improve how a team functions, especially as business demands evolve.
We help teams identify behavioral patterns and develop more productive ways of working together. This goes beyond surface dynamics to build trust, improve communication, and foster cohesion.
Our approach is tailored to each team’s culture and goals. We begin with assessments of styles, strengths, and challenges, then design the engagement to support sustainable shifts in how the team operates and drives more effective execution of goals.

An organization thrives when its people do. New managers need foundational skills, while experienced leaders must keep growing to meet new demands. We help individuals and teams navigate complexity, refine their leadership approach, and elevate those around them.
Through custom workshops, ongoing development programs, and dedicated office hours, we provide leadership support at scale.
Office hours, offered bi-weekly or monthly, create space for participants to work through challenges, gain perspective, and accelerate their growth.

We design custom programs that elevate team performance and drive meaningful outcomes. Workshops may focus on topics like team effectiveness, strategic alignment, vision and strategy, or leading through change – always tailored to your goals, context, and culture.
Team Effectiveness workshops lay the foundation for stronger collaboration and productive conflict. Participants build trust and develop practices for direct dialogue that turn diverse perspectives into better decisions.
Strategic Alignment workshops clarify priorities and direction. Teams surface key challenges, build shared understanding, and align around actionable next steps.
Vision & Strategy sessions spark momentum toward ambitious goals. Leaders define a compelling direction and outline tangible steps to move it forward.
Leading Change workshops prepare leaders to guide teams through uncertainty with clarity, empathy, and steadiness. Participants explore how to communicate with transparency, support people through resistance, and foster shared commitment as priorities evolve.
Programs can be delivered as half-day or full-day experiences in person, virtually, or in hybrid formats.
For deeper engagement, we design and facilitate off-site initiatives.

“I had hoped to identify and get past leadership blind spots that might be holding me back. The coaching experience with Stephanie was valuable and much more actionable than my previous experience with a professional coach."
B.H.
“Stephanie enabled me to see past what was immediately in front of me - which appeared to be seemingly frustrating blockers, but were, in fact, opportunities to think out of the box and solve for what was right for me.”
A.M.
“I was initially hesitant to take the leap and work with an executive coach, but I’m incredibly happy and grateful that I did with Stephanie. She worked with me in a way that was collaborative and effective, respectfully challenging me to a point where I was comfortable being uncomfortable; and that’s where the real self-awareness came into focus. During my time with Stephanie, I always felt that we were partners. She personalized her approach to match my needs and goals, and often, would skillfully guide me to get back on track, when I clearly was taking a detour. Stephanie is the professional I needed.”
