As an executive at Lyft, my role was expanding rapidly—managing larger teams, communicating with diverse audiences, and collaborating at the highest levels of the company. Stephanie was instrumental in helping me navigate this transition with confidence and clarity. She has an incredible ability to listen, ask the right questions, and provide insights that challenge your thinking. Whether it was refining my leadership style, improving my communication with the team, or strengthening my relationship with the CEO, Stephanie provided the tools and perspective I needed to grow. Her thoughtful, practical, and results-driven approach made our sessions insightful and actionable.

I began working with Stephanie based on a strong recommendation, and even still she exceeded my expectations. Throughout our time working together, I found her questions insightful and her observations immensely valuable. She pushed me to work through some challenging situations and helped me make the best use of my time and energy. Stephanie did a great job of gathering feedback from my team and my board, helping me critically assess my performance and focus my development on the areas that mattered most. Her blend of empathy and challenge is rare among coaches and makes her extraordinarily helpful to CEOs in particular.

Working with Stephanie has been one of the best decisions I made this past year. I'm a second-time founder of a venture backed startup that's grown 5x in the last four years. What this really means is a lot of hiring, firing, leading, transitioning, growing pains, tears, heartache, and so much more. It’s hard to truly learn from these hard moments without a mirror. For me, Stephanie was that mirror. She is kind, she is personable, she is so incredibly thoughtful, she speaks from both the heart and brain, and she knows how to listen so effectively. You truly know you have her undivided attention at all times, and feel seen and heard as a whole human being. We also brought Stephanie into our first ever team leadership meeting and we all walked away with a better understanding of each other, a stronger culture and bond at the executive level. I 100% recommend Stephanie to anyone seeking not just a coach, but someone you truly know has your best interests at heart. She wants to see you succeed in both life AND work. I will be eternally grateful for some of the fondest memories I made with my team because of her, the quotes and questions I think of during my hardest moments, and the hilarious acronyms when sh!t hits the fan and I need to just laugh it off. Do it.
