Business Coaching
Ready to find more clients for your business?
I specialize in working with self-employed service providers who are great at doing their actual work - and not so great at getting clients in the first place.
In my experience, the solution to this problem starts with telling a better story about who you are and why you do what you do. From there, we can clarify your ideal clients and create a plan to attract this audience.
I'll guide you through the process of having meaningful conversations with prospective clients, preparing for specific meetings, and confidently signing better and bigger clients.

CAROLYN BEAUDOIN
Head of Strategy, Boxcar Agency
"Before working with Stephanie, I was lacking direction... was keeping myself “busy” in my freelancing business, but had no process for identifying strategic moves versus time-wasters. As a result, I was stuck in a shiny object syndrome trap, which had me veering off-course more than I’d like to admit.
Now I have greater clarity around what I want and why I want it. Having this clarity has helped me pursue opportunities more easily and with greater confidence.
Our coachings are the perfect balance of productive self-reflection, encouragement and critical problem-solving. Stephanie is exceptional at taking seemingly insurmountable problems and goals and breaking them down into manageable action plans. I leave our calls feeling like I can do anything I set my mind to and (more importantly) I’m motivated to actually do the work."
DEAN DEBLOIS
Writer/Director, Lilo & Stitch, How To Train Your Dragon
"Working with Stephanie is an invaluable, transforming experience…. helped me hone a compelling pitch, while discovering effective ‘selling points’ along the way."
MIKE WITTENSTEIN
Founder & Managing Partner, Storyminers
"Stephanie was absolutely amazing... me to wrap my mind around new markets, new services and new opportunities. When you’re in the thick of your own business, you know your history, you think you know where your future is, and it can get pretty complicated.
What Stephanie did for me was ask me a series of really straightforward questions in a friendly, non-threatening, low pressure kind of way. Some of them were hard, but she did it in such a way that I was able to get from step A to step B to step C and now what I’ve got is a really clear bead on exactly the kind of customer I want to serve.
What I want you to know is how good it feels to know whom you serve because a lot of the stress just melts away. You know what to say, you know who to talk to, that long “to do” list, it just kind of disappears. Now I’ve got some amazing focus and I can’t tell you what that’s worth to me. It’s priceless."
Stephanie Lee
Owner, Host Agency Reviews
"Stephanie is amazingly talented on so many levels. quickly grasps what's going on, asks clarifying questions, and offers actionable solutions in real time. I'm always impressed with her poise, listening skills, and how she immediately connects the dots that I couldn't figure out on my own.
The best part is, Stephanie's solutions aren't so overwhelming that Analysis Paralysis hits. She gives you simple strategies that work. I know I can count on her to hold me accountable while also being empathetic and encouraging. Can't recommend enough!"
PAM SOLBERG-TAPPER
Executive Coach + Speaker
"I had been thinking for a while about a new executive coaching program that I wanted to offer, but it was just in the idea stage. I worked with Stephanie and she really lit a spark under me.
She helped me clarify the offering, encouraged me to increase the pricing, and we developed a clear marketing strategy. Often, I can get lost in the weeds or feel like I want everything to be perfect before I launch something. We made huge progress in just two sessions!
She listened carefully, asked insightful questions, and really helped me clarify how I position my services effectively."
DR. DEXTER RUSSELL
Naturopath and Clinical Nutritionist
"I had a lot of thoughts and ideas about what I wanted to do, however, after listening to Stephanie's instructions, I became crystal clear on what I needed to say in a concise and effective manner."
JULIE AUSTIN
President of Swiggies
"Stephanie has the inside information you need to know to clinch the deal. Don’t let that baby face fool you, she is wise beyond her years, and is only a tough critic because she really wants you to win. I highly recommend her consulting services."
GREG FOSTER
CEO, IMAX
"Stephanie shares valuable, practical information for succeeding in the real world. She has created an innovative system that can help anyone maximize their persuasive powers and get what they want in high-stakes meetings. Highly recommended.”
