Stephanie currently works as a Commercial Operations Manager with a Madison based company where she is a master collaborator leading multiple teams to come together through major corporate restructuring.  She has consulted for Fortune 500 companies for 7 years and carries over 13 years of sales and marketing experience.  After developing a leadership development program for multiple teams she launched her coaching and mentoring career.  She has been leading teams since 2007 and as a leader her passion has developed from watching others grow and succeed.

Stephanie has experience in training teams on leadership, business management, effective interpersonal communication strategies, numerous emotional intelligence topics, diversity, and many others.  Her favorite is training new leaders how to become confident and compassionate leaders. Stephanie has been working with leaders, tenured and new, for over 7 years to curate healthy and happy team cultures. Additionally, Stephanie is an international best-selling author, with over 10 years of experience in coaching and training and a passion for watching others grow “The goal is not to teach a class as someone qualified, but to help the class to connect with me so that they can embrace the concepts that increase mental well-being and result in stronger leaders.”

In 2016 Stephanie received her associates degree in Leadership development and in 2018 obtained her bachelor’s degree in marketing management.  This year Stephanie went back to school and earned her master’s degree in leadership and management in just 6 months. She continues to attend regular courses with other industry leaders on leadership and mental health.

Some testimonials:

“Stephanie is ‘like us’; a mom who talks about things she herself has been through. She helped me challenge myself.  Her course is interactive, and no question is dumb.  She validated my feelings and helped me work through them so I could be a better leader.”

“Stephanie is a professional that puts her heart and her wisdom into what she does. I wanted to share this because she has done wonders for my self-esteem… And she’s real. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to her.”

Each year, the University sponsors one employee to participate in the Leadership Green Bay program.  This program was established in 1983 by the Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce and offers select individuals the unique opportunity to develop leadership skills while enhancing the well-being of the Green Bay area. Program goals include enhancing the participant’s knowledge of the Green Bay community; obtaining a greater awareness of issues that face the Green Bay area; enhancing leadership skills; and making an impact on the Green Bay Community.

The cohort professionals gather once a month October through May (following an overnight retreat in September) to learn about social issues, challenges, and opportunities facing the Green Bay area, get exposure to relevant leadership education and skills, and become community stewards. Each monthly gathering has a specific focus (from local government to education to the economy), and learners are immersed in a full-day interactive lesson that includes guest speakers, team-building exercises, and networking. The program culminates by participants organizing into teams, identifying social or public opportunities, and working on community projects that are designed to raise awareness of an issue, improve team skills, and effect change. Past projects can be found here. 

All UW-Green Bay employees are eligible to express interest in being considered.  Supervisors are also encouraged to nominate employees for participation in this program. If nominating an employee, please notify this person to determine if they are willing to participate before submitting.  After the deadline, one employee will be selected by institutional leadership, and will asked to complete the application materials representing UW-Green Bay.

In order to express interest in participation, or to nominate an employee, please complete the Interest Form. This form should be filled out and signed by the employee, their supervisor, and the Dean/Division Head (if applicable).  Completed forms must be received in the Human Resources office by Friday, March 4, 2022 for full consideration.
