Corner Office, NY Times 12/31/2021:

“Business leaders are trained to ‘shoot, move and communicate.’ But the pandemic has called on them to rewrite the leadership playbook.”

Corner Office, NY Times 12/31/2021:

“The fortuitous effect of Covid has been to “unfreeze” hitherto fixed corporate practices and processes, and at least temporarily make the unthinkable thinkable — “Why on earth do we do things like this?” — or, for individuals, “What am I doing here at all?” The Great Resignation is one result —a telling indicator that all this should have been done ages ago, and now ‘everything is in play’.”

Corner Office, NY Times 12/31/2021:

“When the rules of the game change, leaders must change too – or if they can’t, make way for those who can.”

Testimonials

Nice Words

"Stephanie is a strategic thinker who can bring people together across organizations to collaborate towards a longer range goal. She is inclusive in her relationship building and creative in bringing new thinking to our business. I would recommend Stephanie for organizations that are seeking to solve large strategic issues."

John W.

Senior Manager, Strategy

Viri provided a positioning and messaging strategy that unified how we talk to our different types of members and prospects. What we got was more systematic, deeper, and far-reaching than I expected. The structure worked, and the result was easily digestible. Even the board was able to better understand our organization and what we do!

Wendy Siporen

Executive Director, THRIVE

"We are often tempted to say "things are good enough" or "there isn't a problem".  Group think and complacency are the greatest threats to true high functioning teams.  I was looking to find a way to get an honest assessment of my team's health that went beyond the typical employee engagement survey.  I wanted to learn more deeply how to hurdle engagement and get to transcendence.  I found that highly functional as well as greatly dysfunctional teams can suffer from the similar issues of psychological safety in their work environment.  As I learned more about this area, it became clear that it might be the silver bullet I was looking for to create that ideal workplace."

"After going through an intro session with Stephanie, I learned as much about myself as I did about the rest of my team.  Psychological safety is a journey, not a meeting or a cadence; it's a workstyle and a lifestyle.  You have to orient your entire approach differently.  Just in the immediate few days after our first session, I began thinking more about my peers' motivations more deeply and how that tied to their goals and behaviors.  While I have a ton more to learn, I compare it to learning Physics when you've only been taught Chemistry or Calculus when you've only known Algebra.  Nothing that you've learned before is wrong, but there's now a different way to solve problems that I didn't know before."

"I'm always looking for ways to create a safe working space and unlock the true potential of my team.  Stephanie is the go-to if you want to get the best out of your team.  She introduced me to psychological safety and helped me realize that you can unlock step function increases in productivity by applying straightforward concepts that create a truly safe space."
