LEADERSHIP STRATEGY
The world is overflowing with leadership resources. But what makes sense for you, your company, and your team? You need wisdom to sift through what others have done. It takes courage to chart a path that aligns with your own definition of success.

FAQs
What does it look like to work with Stephanie as an Executive Coach?
Stephanie interviews any potential client multiple times and has a reputation for being extremely selective with whom she agrees to coach. Once she begins a relationship, you have her dedicated attention and focus. A typical client engagement will last multiple years and beyond – which is why she takes that client/coach fit so seriously. Her goal is to become an expert in you. She does not use a curriculum or specific framework for every client. Of course, there is pattern recognition in this work, and she draws from leading research, constructs, readers, writers, and thinkers. But every CEO that she works with is too different, facing singular hurdles, and uniquely wired for her to treat this work as a one-size-fits-all. Stephanie's conversations are often incredibly personal and always confidential.
What is the cadence of sessions?
Stephanie meets most clients every two weeks, with the goal of moving to once a month and then quarterly over time. For clients in Dallas and within a short drive, Stephanie will meet in person in her office. For all other clients, she will meet over video or phone.
What are the fees?
Coaching fees vary depending on a client’s exact needs, but high quality coaching is a significant financial investment. You can contact Stephanie directly for more information. Stephanie does work at reduced rates with two non-profit clients at a time. Those slots are filled through 2024.
Am I a good fit as a client?
If you are a CEO running a large company ($100M+), or a CEO or Founder of a venture that has achieved product/market fit and has raised Series A capital or beyond, then yes! Stephanie does not work with founders pre-funding, or those that have a team size smaller than 15 employees. Stephanie focuses on clients who are navigating rapid growth, or facing leadership challenges they no longer feel equipped to handle. She particularly loves working parent CEOs who are growing businesses and families at the same time.
Does Stephanie work with leaders who are not CEOs or Founders?
Rarely. Stephanie's priority is working 1:1 with CEOs and Founders. From time to time, she will coach other C-level members of an Executive Team, particularly if she is already working with the CEO of that company. She does not coach below the C-level.
Can I work with Stephanie?
As of Spring 2024, Stephanie's coaching roster is full. However, she does keep an active waitlist, and when a client rolls off, she will onboard a new one. If you would like to be considered for the waitlist, please send a short email with your name, venture, how you found Stephanie, and why you think her coaching might be a fit for your needs. She will always respond promptly.
