Stratex Coaching

Stefanie Smith is one of New York City’s leading executive coaches. Her track record of motivating high-potential professionals to achieve their career goals and increase their leadership effectiveness is based on decades of experience as an executive consultant to leaders at Fortune 100, private, and non-profit corporations.

Her clients are executives with a prior history of achievement:

”I believe in the clients I take on. Their capability - proven or intrinsic is the basis of our success. I help them maximize the impact of their talents and nurture undeveloped abilities to fulfill their aspirations.”

Executive coaching = collaboration to define and develop a roadmap to reach your business objectives.

“I work most effectively with clients determined to achieve results who seek a partner to listen to their concerns, explore possibilities, and respond to new events and challenges. We agree on and set in motion a concise, timelined plan of action. We set criteria for success from Day One, so we know when we win!”

Together we:

	Review your goals and concerns through active questioning, reflection, and confidential feedback
	Explore and vet possibilities to attain a specific goal or promotion
	Evaluate and raise the bar for your current job performance
	Write a concise action with short-term steps
	Complete a “Focus Game” program to unveil your unique strengths and possibilities
	Exchange ideas during regular 90-minute sessions -- 100% customized for you
	Maintain momentum via phone and email so we can quickly respond to new events

We both succeed when you:

	Fulfill your leadership potential to motivate and inspire best results
	Build skills for today and the future
	Increase your confidence
	Prepare for and achieve successful job transitions

The last thing you need from a coach is more stress! Your interests, schedule and preferences drive our timeframe and working style.

Stefanie Smith’s focused and direct style derives directly from her consulting expertise in strategy and execution. As an executive consultant, she can provide personal guidance or resources from her close network of associates with outstanding expertise.

“As a private coach, I guide clients to reach the next level. As a consultant, I support strategy and execution of priority initiatives. In some cases, you may require active project management in addition to coaching. In all cases, we document progress as a concrete record of key insights and results.”

Our mutual goal = enhance your professional pride + performance.
