About Steph

I step bravely into conflict and create safe spaces for real, raw conversations. I lead sessions where people feel valued, seen and understood. I help people connect to each other, find solutions to their challenges, and create new possibilities.

I work with big groups - thousands of people - and in small, intimate dialogues. I convene elected officials, CEO's, community leaders and that lady down the street. So we can all talk together in brave, productive ways about the stuff that matters most.

I'm bold, fierce, brave. Generous and open-hearted. Irreverent and tough. I put it all on the table for discussion in service to creating safe ways to work through the mess and find a way forward that is more possible, more sustainable and more radical than what you imagined.

I choose to believe in the possible and in potential. Potential to change, grow and stretch - for all of us.

I build better leaders. I solve tough challenges. I help you talk about the stuff you think you can't talk about in your organization and community. I create spaces where we can transform problems to possibilities.

I am in service to your growth and I give it my all every time. I've got your back, and I love a good challenge. Having fun along the way helps too!

I don't work with just anyone. I look for partners who really want change, who know there must be a different way to live and act in their communities and organizations.

I don't take myself too seriously. Life is short, and getting to do this work is a gift I'm grateful for every day. A little irreverence goes a long way to remembering that the journey is as important as the destination.

I don't always get it right. Conflict is messy and imperfect, and so are humans. The more we try and fail, the more we learn. Cultivating an open heart and an open mind will always take you further than being risk averse.
