Steph helped us kick-start our off-site with a thought-provoking speech on Creative Courage. We wanted the teams to gain tips on how to become more resilient and how to think out of the box. Steph perfectly did so by sharing with us her experience and life stories. The teams particularly liked the fact that she didn't hide her failures - her authenticity made her more relatable. Overall, the intervention was very impactful, and everyone left that day with a list of actions they will do to be more creative and more courageous. I would recommend Steph to any team/organization looking to bring creativity into their day-to-day job.

Steph is simply an outstanding facilitator. She has worked on client projects as a partner with us and, more recently, facilitated the Kinetic Team through a Collaborative Art process. In both cases, she models the best in facilitation: holding the process lightly yet with clarity / discipline; encouraging participation yet enabling high quality output; and projecting self-confidence yet making the group the hero. I can not recommend her or her product highly enough.
