What my clients say
I was afraid that coaching would be a surface-level operation, but Stephanie has a gift for uncovering subtle blocks that you weren't aware of and of gently encouraging you to interrogate long-held beliefs. Trusting Stephanie came easily due to her authenticity, compassion and emotional intelligence. When we came to the end of our coaching programme I felt like we had achieved what would have taken me years to realise and accomplish on my own

I was expertly guided
"Stephanie was instrumental in me succeeding in gaining and settling into a promoted position. She helped me to work through some limiting thought patterns, navigate my own personal insecurities and fully embrace the opportunities I was being given. She expertly guided me to be a better team leader."

Wealth of experience
“Stephanie and team took the time to actively listen, understand and design a course to our exact needs. They delivered exactly what they promised. The business actors made the practical course elements realistic and engaging, while Stephanie brought along a wealth of corporate experience that truly added value. The course feedback was excellent.”
Phillip Westermeyer
L&D Manager
Every session felt empowering
“Working with Stephanie has been an absolute game-changer for me and my career. I wasn't sure what to expect from an executive coach, and I'm so, so glad I took the plunge. Simply put, she is transformation fuel.
She guided me through challenging workplaces and pivotal career moments, helping me see and overcome my own limiting beliefs and patterns. Stephanie is empathetic, smart as a whip, warm and can both hold space for tough challenges while keeping you accountable in a no-nonsense way. She made every session feel empowering and memorable and her tools and frameworks are ones I still rely on today to help make decisions. If you get the chance to work with Stephanie, take it.”

The programme was instrumental
“When I joined the Women's Leadership Programme, I was frustrated and ready to give up on progression. It helped me realise I’d been stuck in a safe role, unsure of my next steps. The practical curriculum gave me clarity on what I wanted and how to achieve it.
In a heavily masculine environment, I had questioned my leadership style. Stephanie helped me rediscover my authentic leadership and develop behaviours that work for me. As a result, I moved from middle management to my first senior role.
This programme was instrumental in securing my promotion, preparing me to perform at a higher level and grow my influence. Four years later, I earned another promotion, feeling confident and ready throughout.”
Rebecca Cunningham
Senior leader in the Rail industry
Invaluable and enlightening
"The training was above and beyond what we were expecting and everyone on the course found it invaluable and enlightening with various tools to support us. Stephanie was professional, sensitive and enthusiastic. Most importantly, her own personal confidence when presenting made her both an authentic and inspirational trainer."
Catheryne Hill,
Head of Digital Production
Coaching was life-changing
"I used to lived in constant fear of being “found out” – the imposter syndrome had me bad! I was anxious and overwhelmed, derailed by a single terse email in my inbox. However, I would never have admitted it to myself I was working myself too hard and heading for burnout.
I never thought I was someone who would benefit from coaching, preferring to power on through hard work and determination. Without wishing to sound too dramatic, the coaching has changed my life both from a work and home perspective. I feel in control, poised and able to take on life’s challenges. I’ve even learnt to be a little kinder to myself!
Stephanie was fantastic, completely blowing away any preconceptions I may have had regarding coaching or mentoring. It felt that Stephanie could relate to what I was saying and was able to decipher my feelings or explanations from what often felt like an incoherent stream of consciousness. I felt able to be open and honest which is not easy for me and I never felt anything but support from Stephanie."
