Stefanie’s approach of complete trust, empathy and high level view helps me find paths beyond limitations, solutions to blockers, and bigger and more motivating goals. My work with Stefanie has benefited my company, my team and my work/life balance. Her wide range of experiences and best practices are a remarkable resource. You’ll wonder why you didn’t start with Stefanie sooner. - SVP Content, Media & Entertainment
Working with Stefanie has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Her guidance has allowed me to not only grow as a leader but I have also benefited on a personal level. Nurturing leadership skills and relationships to navigate the corporate world that will benefit me for years to come. - SVP Design Retail
I began to work with a coach somewhat resentfully. I was doubtful of the process and did not think coaching could improve my situation. Less than a year later, I have to confess I was wrong. I went from struggling with a number of key work relationships to collaborating. I went from avoiding certain individuals and challenging situations, to initiating difficult conversations in an unreproachable manner. My team dynamic (historically one of fear and trepidation) now involves them seeing me as more understanding and human. Stef helped me to see where to improve and taught me how to do it. With her expert guidance, I stopped resenting the need to manage, and started putting the time in to do it right. Stefanie is great, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. - Law Firm Partner
