I have had the privilege of working closely with Stephanie since 2010 when she began her service as a volunteer leader on the National Apartment Association Board of Directors. Stephanie rose quickly from a board member to committee chair to Vice President and President. Stephanie has great passion for industry professional development and while leading NAAEI, tapped her facilitation skills to provide training on Gallup Strengths, How to Deliver Impactful Webinars, How Millennials Want to Work and Learn and Diversity and Inclusion for various industry audiences. Stephanie also has excellent communication skills that were put to the test over 3 days when she conducted 46 radio and internet interviews about careers in residential property management, This virtual media tour reached an audience of 205 million listeners and viewers in 3,561 airings. The ad value of Stephanie's media tour was $3.8 million.

“Stephanie is a visionary leader who adds value to every organization that she is a part of. She is a strategic thinker who can see the desired outcome of a project, and then map out, and implement, a plan to achieve it. ”
Stephane has facilitated the Strengths Finder Coaching Program with both my team members as well as associates in a large nonprofit organization. Each time my associates left eager to tackle and focus on their strengths and minimize the stress of their weaknesses."

She is able to engage with the group and came so well prepared.
“With a few newer team members, the Strengths Finder workshop with Stephanie was such great timing for us. It allowed us to get to know one another better, to understand each individual’s approach, and also be more cognizant of the things that trigger negative response aka “emotional basements.” It was fun to hear where there were similarities and differences. It was spot on!
