Explaining and practicing self-curiosity in presentations with her input and guidance, led instantly to amazingly more openness of participants.

Stephanie is the equal or better than any facilitator our forum has used over nearly 2 decades.

We spent a full day with Stephanie Bown digging down into our needs and values and found the whole process to be educational, insightful and a bit confronting. Stephanie facilitated the day in both and a strategic and empathetic way to allow us to gain ‘psychological air’ to get to a granular level and then implement an action plan to move forward. A great process and a credit to her skills and knowledge!

Steph was simply awesome. She provided very refreshing forum facilitation on our retreat, spending time on theory as well, which helped not only in the forum, but had very practical business application.

Steph delivered solidly on the key objectives of the day. It was a well-run day and Steph was always in control.

Stephanie was really well received by our YNGers and both groups (one less than a year old and one a few years old) have been refreshed and refocused in their forums. They all really enjoyed the day with her, and it was the topic of conversation at that night. Stephanie was amazing, I cannot praise her enough.

Stephanie led the discussion with confidence while remaining attune to the different personalities in the room. Stephanie was clearly well versed on the organization she was lecturing on, and knew the subject matter well.
