Stephanie Schmid Executive Coaching

Client Stories

Reflections from individuals I've coached, leadership teams I've partnered with, and audiences I've spoken to.

Individual Coaching

Stephanie is a highly empathetic, positive, and thoughtful executive coach. She's genuine in her approach, and has relevant first-hand experience with almost every challenge high-achievers need to overcome in their careers. Stephanie helped me through one of the biggest growth phases of my career - she validated my concerns, helped me quickly find solutions, and wasn't afraid to give me direct feedback and keep me accountable when I needed that, too. I will be forever grateful that she was by my side through that 'storming' phase as I might have thrown in the towel without her. As a type-A personality who just wants to 'get on with it', and not spend a lot of time sitting down intensely talking about 'the problem', her power walk concept was a game-changer.

Team Coaching

I have worked with many executive coaches throughout my career, and Stephanie stands apart. We partnered to design and facilitate an offsite for my leadership team, and her approach was exceptionally pragmatic. What impressed me most was her deep strategic preparation and how seamlessly she adapted our agenda when our business requirements shifted at the last minute. Stephanie has a rare ability to meet an executive team exactly where they are, establishing an immediate level of alignment that didn't fade when the offsite ended. The cohesion she drove has had a lasting impact on how my team collaborates and executes. For any leader looking to sharpen their team's operational dynamic, Stephanie is an invaluable asset.

Keynote Speaking & Workshops

I've seen Stephanie facilitate senior leadership teams as well as speak with large audiences, and she has a rare ability to create energy, clarity and genuine engagement.

When facilitating candid communications workshops to hundreds of senior leaders, she did so with clarity and brought focus to this complex topic while creating an environment where people felt comfortable contributing honestly and being positively challenged.

If you're looking for a facilitator who can engage a room, navigate complexity with confidence and help people turn discussion into action, I would highly recommend Stephanie.
