Stephanie Schmid

SPHR, PMP, BCC

Hailing from the beautiful city of Salt Lake City, Utah, I find inspiration in the breathtaking landscapes that surround me. As an avid runner, road biker, hiker, scuba diver, and swimmer, I embrace an active and adventurous lifestyle. I have been blessed with a marriage of over 30 years, and together we have nurtured a beautiful family. Raising two wonderful daughters has further instilled in me the importance of finding harmony between career ambitions and personal relationships.

I am an executive coach who is truly passionate about empowering ambitious professionals, especially women, to achieve their career goals and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Through my diverse and successful career spanning over 30 years, I have gained extensive experience in leadership positions across the technology sector. These roles have granted me invaluable insights into the challenges faced by women in senior management positions.

Understanding the complexities of leadership, the intricate dynamics of corporate politics, and the delicate balance between personal and professional spheres, I developed a coaching style rooted in empathy, compassion, and tangible results. Building trust and creating a safe space for vulnerability and growth are at the core of my coaching process. By leveraging my deep understanding of the challenges faced by ambitious women and combining it with my diverse career background, I am uniquely positioned to guide you towards success.
