There is something about this book that I cannot get out of my head. It is the realness of it, the practical nature by which Steph goes about communicating the message. I found it super relatable and to the point. Time poor CEO’s and leaders, need to grab this book and use it to get to the point with their team.

CEO Pentana Solutions

As our high performance partner since 2016, Stephanie has worked closely with the Pentana Solutions Executive Team and myself facilitate both the creation of our 5-year strategic vision and execution of this vision through quarterly strategy and leadership sessions.
Through 360-degree feedback and ongoing coaching, Stephanie has helped us adopt more constructive styles of leadership, engage our Top 50 leaders in strategy execution, and truly take ownership of our roles as executives.
With Steph’s guidance and support, we’ve become a stronger, more aligned executive team, demonstrating measurable improvements in both our leadership and our business performance. I am very comfortable recommending Steph to both my YPO peers and my business partners.
