WORK WITH US

Fast forward 10 years
in your career

You’ve gotten the promotion, the money, the title, you’re a leader people depend on, and…

  • Your relationships are strained

  • You have no time for hobbies

  • Stress and anxiety are like a second pulse under your skin

Sure, you don’t have a crystal ball, but judging from your current trajectory, even your best-case scenario where you get the promotions and the raises… that future doesn’t exactly look like “Living your best life”. Right?

So while you’re not ready to throw in the towel and move to Bali with nothing but your yoga mat — you do want to advance in your career. 

You want to challenge yourself, grow, and go after those promotions. You want to be recognized for your expertise and become a thought leader in your industry.

But you want to do that without sacrificing your wellbeing, your interests, or your relationships.

You need to find balance that supports career growth and personal growth, so you can reach your real goals. Like…

  • Excelling at work while staying authentic to who you are

  • Setting goals that don’t require you to sacrifice your values or passions

  • Being a loving, present parent to your littles

  • Becoming a Partner, Director, industry leader, change-maker

We’re here to help you take the risks necessary to grow, navigate corporate politics as your authentic self, and gain the kind of confidence that only comes from doing scary things (with support — you don’t have to do this alone!).

We’re Stephanie and Martin and we help mid-career professionals like you build a career that satisfies your needs for challenge AND a balanced life...

Without feeling overwhelmed by your to do list, losing sleep, or comparing yourself with others.

Join ‘LeaderUp’ - a 4 to 6 month leadership development program to get clarity on what you really want for your life and career, and plan out each step to get there.

This is for you if…

You’re ready to advance your career in a big way. AND you’re ready to start enjoying this amazing life you already have

The LeaderUp program is our 4 to 6 month program designed to not only help you identify where your leadership and career opportunities are - it’s designed to fundamentally overhaul your framework for how you see yourself and achieve success

  • Your success.

  • By your definition.

  • On your terms.

You’ll find clarity around your long-term career vision and get practical advice you can use on Monday morning or in that difficult conversation with that colleague, using neuroscience-backed tools and frameworks.

This way, you can achieve your big goals through small daily actions and behavior changes. 

Put yourself in the shoes of our past clients — go ahead, walk around, see how it feels. These are the results they’ve seen:

  • You have an idea for a change in the way your firm is being run. You confidently send an email to a senior executive to share your thoughts and offer to help. This time, you’re not second-guessing yourself, complaining to your peers without taking action, or wondering if you even have a right to say anything.  

  • You skillfully instigate and navigate a tough conversation with an under-performing employee. You both agree it was the right conversation to have and she thanks you for helping her see a new perspective. This time, there’s no awkwardness, and no wanting to hide (for either of you) the next time you spot each other in the lunchr(z)oom.

  • You say yes to taking on a new project, AND also creatively come up with a solution with your boss to decrease your responsibilities elsewhere so you’re not stretched too thin. Your boss respects you more for it. This time, you’re not drowning in overwhelm and you can give 100% of yourself to this new opportunity, impressing your boss and becoming the first person they think of for the next opportunity.

  • You have a big meeting come up where the stakes are high and you feel completely at peace and confident that you will be able to navigate and handle whatever comes up during it. This time, you’re not going to lie awake the night before filled with anxiety.

  • You get hand-picked for a senior leadership position because you’ve been making a big impact and it’s clear you have what it takes. This time, impostor syndrome doesn’t darken your doorstep. You feel confident and connected with your work. Your joy is contagious and this new you is just the beginning.

These are the real outcomes our clients have experienced after working with us to develop their Personal Professional Playbook.

What Clients are Saying

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    “AFTER WORKING WITH STEPHANIE, I FINALLY REALIZED I DON’T HAVE TO MUTE MYSELF TO ACCOMMODATE OTHER PEOPLE. IN DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS, I FIGURED OUT HOW TO CREATE A SPACE WHERE I CAN EXPRESS HOW I FEEL, ACKNOWLEDGE OTHERS AT THE SAME TIME, AND REACH WIN-WIN SOLUTIONS THAT WORK OUT FOR EVERYONE.”

    - TENDAYI N., DEVELOPMENT PRODUCER AT NETFLIX

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    “MARTIN’S ABILITY TO CONNECT WORK + SELF IS UNRIVALLED AND HAS PAID HUGE DIVIDENDS IN MY DEVELOPMENT AS A PROFESSIONAL AND AS A HUMAN”

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    BEFORE WORKING WITH STEPHANIE I WAS STRUGGLING WITH TRANSITIONING FROM MY ROLE AS AN INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTOR TO A MANAGER. STEPHANIE HELPED ME BY INTRODUCING GAME CHANGING THOUGHT FRAMEWORKS TO PROCESS CHALLENGING SITUATIONS, SETTING GOALS, AND BOUNDARIES. AFTER COMPLETING HER PROGRAM, I HAVE STARTED APPLYING HER STRATEGIES IN MY WORK AND PERSONAL LIFE AND HAVE SEEN IMMEDIATE RESULTS OF THE MORE INTENTIONAL APPROACHES I HAVE TAKEN. I WOULD RECOMMEND STEPHANIE TO PEOPLE WHO ARE READY TO ENRICH THEIR LIVES WITH PRACTICAL TOOLS IN CAREER AND RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT, AND LEVEL UP AS LEADERS.”

    -LYNN C., SOFTWARE MANAGER AT YELP

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    “I STARTED STEPHANIE’S PROGRAM BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD TRAINING FOR WOMEN ON HOW TO EXCEL AT WORK WHILE STILL BEING AUTHENTIC. STEPHANIE HELPED ME TO SEE WHERE I WAS MAKING (OFTEN NEGATIVE) ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT CERTAIN SITUATIONS AND WAS REACTING INSTINCTIVELY BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS ALONE. THIS HELPED ME REALIZE THAT I SHOULD LOOK AT THINGS MORE OBJECTIVELY AND THOUGHTFULLY, WHICH MAKES GETTING THROUGH MOST SITUATIONS A LITTLE EASIER. SHE ALSO TAUGHT ME SOME SPECIFIC, HELPFUL TIPS FOR QUELLING ANXIETY AND OTHER NEGATIVE FEELINGS. I REALLY LIKED THE PERSONALIZED RECOMMENDATIONS SHE GAVE ME BASED ON AREAS I WANTED TO IMPROVE. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PROGRAM TO ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO BREAK OLD, UNHELPFUL PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOR AND APPROACH SITUATIONS WITH MORE THOUGHTFULNESS.”

    - Annie R., Attorney

 This is where you draw a line in the sand.

In the past, you’ve allowed your career to ‘happen’ to you, but now it’s time to get back in the driver’s seat and make things happen for your career...so 10 years from today, you’re living proof that building a thriving career and fulfilling life is possible.  

That’s what we wished someone had told us when we were doing the same thing. 

  • All those years we spent working ourselves into the ground, saying yes to everyone so much that we forgot who we were and what we even wanted out of our careers and lives. 

  • All the wasted time in indecision because we wanted to advance our careers but couldn’t imagine how we could handle even MORE on our To Do lists (because our boundaries sucked and we were taking on way too much). 

Then, when we realized that our best work happened when we advocated for ourselves and set healthy boundaries...that’s when the opportunities started to emerge. 


And that is why we created the LeaderUp program to help high achievers like you ditch the self-doubt and get the balanced, high-impact career you want. One where you get off the hamster wheel of stress and anxiety (believing it’s the price you pay for success) and onto your own path, where you’re filled with motivation and clarity on what you really want, and feel thoroughly prepared to go for it with your Personal Professional Playbook to help you get there.

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

  • 1 Kickoff questionnaire that uncovers your greatest opportunities (even ones you might not be aware of) and pulls out your biggest dreams, so we can hit the ground running 

  • 10 private coaching sessions, tailored around you, your job’s demands, and your unique challenges.

  • Top Forbes recommended Leadership Assessment + personal review of your results (with tips you can put into action right away) so you get clarity on the thoughts and behaviors that keep you stuck, which we’ll then work to re-write.

  • The LeaderUp workbook with tools and assignments to help you create deeper self-awareness and make a plan for professional growth that works for YOU.

  • Text/email support between sessions so we build momentum faster, address challenges (and seize opportunities!) as they come up.

Many of our clients are able to have partial or full coaching costs covered by their companies (the first step they take to advocating for their careers!). Click here to see a sample template that you may use. 

IN A FEW MONTHS,YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:

  • Establish your leadership voice so you can communicate persuasively (both up and down the chain of command) - so you can make real changes for the better.

  • Position yourself so people KNOW the contributions you make to the bottom line. No more being taken for granted (or having your accomplishments attributed to someone else).

  • Shed self-doubt and imposter syndrome so you can rewrite the stories that weaken you into mindsets that make you stronger. No more heart-pounding panic moments before you present your great ideas! You’ll be cool, calm, confident and convincing.

  • Prioritize your time with confidence because you’ve defined your short and long term goals and know what matters most to you

  • Become the leader that teams, peers, and even CEOs admire.

SIDE EFFECTS MAY INCLUDE:

  • Finding your motivation, passion and purpose for your work again. (And enjoying it!)

  • Speaking up to present your ideas and advocate for yourself with confidence, so you can go after bigger roles, projects and raises.

  • Gaining recognition for what you do well and watching opportunities roll in.
