Leadership Development in Community

Experience new possibilities for your growth and impact, while supporting and being supported by a community of powerful socially-minded leaders.

Social learning uncovers insights only available when learning alongside others and provides an embedded support system that propels the whole group of leaders forward. This can be valuable for teams working together within an organization and for cohorts that bring a variety of leaders together from different organizations and contexts.

“Stephanie truly excels in curriculum development and facilitation. She helped us fine-tune our program objectives, gave us great feedback on evolving the content, and helped us create a culturally relevant and affirming space for people to learn.

She is instrumental in creating a high-impact program for our nonprofit leaders. Her ability to connect and work well with others helped us maintain a learning environment where people feel validated and seen.

Stephanie is a great facilitator who guides people through challenging conversations in a supportive and thoughtful way. I would recommend Stephanie's services to anyone who wants to develop an inclusive organizational culture and effective leadership skills.”

What Clients Are Saying

  • "I have learned so much from Stephanie's people-centered approach to learning. She brings a level of care and intentionality to her work that can be felt in all aspects of the work itself, from process to product.

    She is communicative, thoughtful, and thorough, and I was particularly impacted by how she was able to make me feel seen and heard throughout all our interactions. Stephanie has a deep understanding of how to affirm and create space for people of different identities and experiences.

    She brought my team’s vision to life in a short period of time."

  • "I can't say enough about how well Stephanie creates space for others to thrive. She dances through the nuanced territory of taking command of the room while also ensuring participants have the freedom to be themselves and comfortable.

    She has created a vibrant AAPI affinity group community that both unifies Asian cultures and highlights the rich diversity across the diaspora.

    Her recognition of how the "model minority myth" actually perpetuates racism, positions the Asian community to reach across cultural barriers to create connection and build allyship."

  • "I recommend Stephanie to any organization looking to enhance its diversity and inclusion efforts because of her ability to create a safe and engaging learning environment where participants can deeply reflect on and challenge their biases.

    Stephanie's use of personal stories, an interactive format, and practical frameworks makes complex concepts accessible and actionable, empowering individuals to embrace their authentic voices and contribute to a more inclusive & supportive workplace."

  • "We invited Stephanie to facilitate a foundational experience for our Alumni Scholars. She created activities and leadership sessions that truly addressed our students’ needs.

    More importantly, she connected with our students by sharing her own stories and displaying her own vulnerabilities, which allowed our students to open up more and feel safe.

    We also dealt with a sudden change, and Stephanie pivoted and adjusted quickly, making sure that our retreat still happened and we still reached our key objectives."
