What Others Say About My Work
True leadership isn’t just about what you do — it’s about who you become. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of guiding and mentoring visionary women — whether as a leader in the tech industry, a mentor to rising professionals, or a coach helping women step into soul-aligned leadership.
Here, you’ll find reflections from those I’ve worked with — former direct reports, colleagues, and coaching clients — sharing the impact of my guidance, leadership, and transformative approach.

“I had the privilege of working under Stepheni, and I can confidently say she is one of the most thoughtful and inspiring leaders I’ve ever had. She always saw the best in each team member and leveraged those strengths to help us grow—both individually and as a team.
She helped me recognize and develop skills I didn’t even know I had, continuously supporting my goals and ensuring my career progress was noticed and recognized. Her motivation and encouragement were unwavering, even during my most challenging times. Her empathy, understanding, and ability to empower others set her apart from any other manager I’ve worked with.
What really set her apart was her willingness to dive in and work alongside us to achieve our goals, rather than just overseeing our efforts. This hands-on approach created a strong sense of unity and shared purpose within the team.
On top of all that, her commitment to inclusion and empowering women and minorities was truly inspiring. She fostered an environment where everyone felt valued and supported. I feel incredibly lucky to have had her as a manager and am grateful for the lasting impact she’s had on my career.”

“Before working with Stepheni, I felt chaotic in my ideas. I had no clue what I wanted and everything felt hectic. But after starting the sessions with Stepheni, I found out very quickly that I actually knew what I wanted. I realized that the problem was never that I didn’t have the answers, the problem was that I didn’t have access to my inner knowledge. Stepheni creates such an incredible safe space and has endless loving kindness. I am always comfortable to share anything, professional or personal.”
