Meet Stephanie

With 25 years of marketing leadership experience in Fortune 500 companies—and rising to the Senior Vice President level—I understand firsthand what it’s like to feel stuck, even when you’re successful on paper. I built early credibility through expertise, but my growth plateaued until I embraced the Platinum Rule and shifted from authoritative leadership to empathetic, strategic influence.

By enhancing my self-awareness and refining my personal brand, I learned to communicate effectively while preserving my competitive spirit. This transformation enabled me to gain greater influence and pursue high-profile projects aligned with my values.

It also revealed an important truth that many leaders often overlook: performance, presence, and visibility are crucial for advancement and require a strategic approach to influencing outcomes through clarity, effective communication, and relationships.

As the founder of InnerSage Coaching, I help technical and subject-matter experts turn their skills into impactful leadership through my 4C’s framework: Clarity, Calibration, Communication, and Collaboration.

Much like the elephant I observed in Africa, whose wisdom and social intelligence ensure a thriving herd, my approach can elevate your leadership presence, increase your compensation, and reignite your passion for the future.
