Stratex Coaching

Stefanie Smith is one of New York City’s leading executive coaches. Her track record of motivating high-potential managers and executives 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 traditionally executives with a prior history of achievement and short-term results:

”I believe in the clients I take on. Their talent - proven or intrinsic is the basis of our success. I help them maximize the impact of their talent and nurture undeveloped talents to attain business goals.”

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 address your current situation:

	Review your goals and concerns: active questioning; reflection; and confidential feedback
	Explore and vet possibilities to attain a specific goal or promotion
	Evaluate and hone your current job performance
	Set in motion a plan of action: documented goals and action steps
	Complete “Success Preparations” independently or together
	Schedule regular “live” sessions -- 100% customized and focused on you
