Within this, she specialises in the coaching and mentoring of the Culture Triangle: top-level leadership, team development, recruitment and retention, and strategy.

Results-oriented with a keen commercial focus and analytical research background, she brings a rare mix of research expertise and practical consultancy skills that allow her to quickly get to the heart of an organisation’s DNA and associated challenges: its vision, values, systems, assumptions, beliefs, habits and, ultimately, behaviours –then constructively implement the changes needed.

From global multinationals to start-ups, Stephanie has consulted across many different sectors including technology, media, retail, wealth, banking, legal, insurance, logistics, transport, public sector, voluntary sector and professional services.

She is a highly effective facilitator and culture mentor who quickly and effectively builds trust and rapport, such that her warm, inclusive style encourages frank discussion and ensures that everyone has a voice.

Adept at navigating internal politics and sensitive in handling dysfunction, she is unfazed by broaching hard truths – bringing a pragmatic focus on solutions with clear ownership and accountability that leads to tangible results.

Areas of expertise include:
Reviewing and evaluating organisational behaviour and its cultural landscape, then recommending and implementing practical ways forward.
