STEPHANIE EDWARD
Strengthening the people side of work.
Common reasons organizations reach out include:
-
New hires are struggling to integrate, build relationships, and become successful quickly.
-
Managers need support helping people succeed.
-
Employees need stronger confidence, relationship-building, and workplace effectiveness skills.
-
Teams are capable but are not performing at their full potential.
-
Stress, pressure, and uncertainty are affecting performance and employee well-being.
-
People-development support is needed but there's no capacity to lead it.
The skills behind great work
A lot of workplace challenges come down to people problems.
Success at work depends on how we communicate, navigate uncertainty, manage stress, build relationships, and move forward when things are hard..
That's why my work focuses on two connected areas:​​​
Self-Leadership
How we work with ourselves. Building confidence. Navigating self-doubt. Being professional. Managing stress. Following through on what matters. Staying engaged, effective, and grounded at work.
Working with Others
How we work with other people. Communicating. Collaborating. Networking. Building relationships. Leading others. Navigating differences. Creating teams that work well together.
The work I do to support organizations includes:
Consulting & Fractional Support
Project-based and fractional support for organizations that want to support their teams' development but don't have internal capacity to lead. Support may include new hire experience optimization, manager effectiveness training, leadership offsite and team meeting planning and facilitation, and workplace skills training.
​​
Training & Workshops
Learning experiences that help teams strengthen interpersonal skills, like communication, collaboration, networking, and relationship-building, and self-leadership, like stress management, confidence-building, and more.
​
Speaking
Keynotes and conference presentations that explore new hire experience, interpersonal skills, and/or self-leadership topics.
