Do you need an intuitive project-driven person, who can turn their hand to a wide range of skills, and engage positively with anyone and everyone?
Find me on LinkedIn for a chat if you’d like to work together.
Hi, I’m Steph, and I’m interested in everything – especially if you can explain it in three minutes or less.
If you’ve got an idea, a role, or a mission, here’s what I could bring:
- I’m a fountain of ideas who can create a cracking project plan.
- I plan and deliver amazing events, thanks to my experience in creating immersive theatre.
- I’m great at coaching people either quietly for their personal development, or teaching skills in project management, self-motivation, or public speaking in person and on camera.
- I’m the best person to try out a presentation on, and I give friendly but honest feedback.
- I lift up others with encouragement, practical problem solving, and a rejection of shame.
- I can always offer a different perspective, and I proactively educate myself beyond my own experience.
If I’m invested in an idea, person, project, or company mission, I am dedicated and determined to deliver my absolute best.
I’m driven by people and projects that are about making the world better – no matter how big or small the idea.
