Business experience
Stephanie has been
a Director of Insight Matters since 1999, prior to which she
was Technical Director of McKenzie Consulting Group
(including McKenzie Carrick). Before that she served as
Saville & Holdsworth's 2IC in Singapore and SE Asia while
still in her mid-twenties, thus developing her pragmatic
understanding of business realities from an early age.
She has consulted
as a Corporate Psychologist and Coach for 16 years, assisting
business leaders at vice-president, partnership and country-head
levels with maximising their own and their staff's performance.
Qualifications
Stephanie's
tertiary education is in both Psychology and Business, from the
UK. She has also been schooled in Executive Coaching by
the best in the field - the British ex-Olympic gold-medallists group who originated
the concept of business coaching in the 1980s.
She has further undertaken - and
herself taught - numerous occupational assessment courses, as a
highly regarded psychometric specialist. As a
respected pre-employment profiler she has a reputation for an
unusual depth of technical skill and objectivity when
working with human characteristics in an occupational setting.
Stephanie uses
some of the very best profiling and 360°-feedback
technologies to assist leaders with their professional development, career change, succession planning and team processes.
Style
Stephanie employs
a unique mix of psychological understanding and coaching
methodology, which creates both quick and easily sustained change. Hers is a sophisticated, efficient, yet deeply
'human' approach to the pursuit of business and personal outcomes.
Her style is
objective, open and supportive,
and makes full and respectful use of the often considerable
intellects of her executive clients. She places a great deal
of emphasis on incremental building of self- and
other-awareness, assisting executives to develop an astute understanding
of what makes their colleagues and staff tick, and to align their personal aspirations
with the business.
Stephanie also
has a great deal of experience with cross-cultural and expatriate
issues, having herself worked extensively in the UK, Singapore,
Indonesia, Hongkong, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand, and
with many US executives.
She has a particular passion
for quickly alleviating stress and mood concerns in
senior people, who often feel under inordinate pressure to
appear unaffected by what are in fact ubiquitous human experiences.
