“I can’t recommend Stephanie highly enough! When I was at a crossroads in my career, unsure of my next steps, she provided the clarity and guidance I needed. Stephanie helped me recognize the value and "happiness factor" in the career I had already built.

Through insightful conversations, taking the time to get to know what makes tick, and expert coaching, she helped me rediscover my passion, realign my goals, and ultimately reach the happiest and most productive point in my career.

Through her coaching I now have "flow" in work and am the most productive I have been in my 30+ years in technology.

I have worked with her for the past one and a half years and every time I talk to her she radiates this sense of positivity and clarity towards everything, be it interview preparation, developing a job search action plan, or just exchanging ideas.

Stephanie has helped me develop my overall profile by asking thought-provoking questions and breaking down things into simpler manageable chunks.

— Sogand M. | Business Analyst | Deloitte

“I met Stephanie when I was looking for my next big move. Stephanie took the time to get to know me, my skill set, and my future goals. Stephanie had wonderful suggestions for paths to fit my current and future lifestyle. At the time, my spouse and I were right in the middle of expanding our family, and I needed a company with good benefits for our future.

We sat down, brainstormed some of the best-case scenarios, and started a deep dive into researching family-focused companies. Stephanie was able to find the niche area we were looking for. She brought up options I would have never considered because she believed in me and knew I would be a perfect fit.

Ultimately, we found the job I should be looking for based on the benefits, pay, and if the company would be a good fit for me and my family. Stephanie made me confident in my career path and helped me secure my dream job. I am incredibly lucky my path crossed Stephanie’s, and I highly recommend working with her to find your perfect fit.”

— Shelby W. | Product Marketing Manager | Military Veteran | automotiveMastermind

“I've worked with Stephanie for a few months, and she's been a great help in clarifying my thinking on the next steps I need to take in my professional life. When we started I was really at loose ends and feeling "lost in the woods". My situation is somewhat complicated and though I don't feel like I have all the answers yet, Stephanie has helped me find a path, and I'm confident that I'm not only walking the path, but I have a good idea of where it's going. There's no way I would have gotten here alone.

Stephanie is a great compassionate listener, and I always felt that she really put energy into working on my situation between our conversations so that our time together was fruitful, and she was happy to adapt to where I drove the conversation and what was top of mind for me, while still making sure we didn't get too far off course.

I'm confident that no matter what your professional circumstances look like, Stephanie will prove to be a valuable ally in getting you to the next level. If you think that even maybe, possibly, it might be a good idea to get another take on managing your career, Stephanie would be an excellent choice to provide that help.”

— Quentin H. | Founder and Principal Consultant | Hartkraft Technology Services

“Working with Stephanie was incredibly impactful as her unique approach to blend counseling with career was exactly what I needed to simultaneously gain clarity around my career goals and desires, and then match that to market and hiring trends in order to create a realistic, targeted, and individualized strategy in real time within only a few short weeks. 

 Leveraging the coaching framework, I was able to clearly articulate my intent and advocate for my goals and unique value proposition in interviews, and now I’m back in a role that feels so much more aligned and fulfilling!

Doing this work was so well worth it and will continue to pay dividends as I implement the long-term career strategy we developed moving forward.

I can’t thank Stephanie enough and look forward to our continued partnership as both my career journey and the career landscape evolve in the years to come!”

— Alexa |Consultant | Banking/Finance Industry

“"When I first met Stephanie, I was an MBA student looking to pivot careers. I had an idea of where I wanted to go, but Stephanie was instrumental in helping me to think clearly and strategically about my career path. Then, once we were confident in the destination, she gave me several key tools and tactics, both general and specific, that helped me to break into the field of Corporate Finance.

To this day, friends and family still come to me (stressed!) when they’re looking for application or interview tips, and I simply relay what Stephanie taught me! To me, that’s the mark of an effective coach."
