Client Testimonials
“Stephanie successfully wrote and designed a thoughtful, impactful youth facilitator guide. She collected feedback from community stakeholders and asked thoughtful questions of program staff to inform the development of the facilitator guide, which ensured that the guide reflected our audiences' needs and concerns. Working with Stephanie helped our staff be more reflective and thoughtful about the development of facilitation and community-building skills.
Stephanie's compassionate, thoughtful, and intentional approach to all aspects of this work was especially impactful.
Stephanie led with care and curiosity throughout all phases of our work. I really appreciated the way Stephanie structured our check-in meetings and the kinds of questions she would ask. I loved that we discussed communication styles and needs, and I felt like the way we worked together was both effective and conducive to my own growth and learning.”

“Stephanie is great at bringing teams together, facilitating conversations that ensure everyone's ideas are heard and included. She used her knowledge and experience on building effective teams to apply uniquely to our organization.
We created 2 important documents that we believe will enhance clarity and strengthen the way in which PV's leadership team and staff can work together. We created the Shared Leadership & Expectations framework for the leadership team and the Leadership Competencies Map that can be utilized across all organizational roles. We are now set up to be more clear with expectations for each team member, and we hope that these can also provide us with more structure to implement a more transparent and meaningful way of doing performance evaluations and help staff with their professional growth and development.
We really enjoyed the working sessions that enabled everyone on the team to feel that they contributed to the framework. We also appreciated Stephanie's ability to gather all of our (sometimes disjointed) input and help us create something cohesive and comprehensively captures the ideas in a way that feels authentic to our organization.”
