ABOUT STEPHANIE D. MCKENZIE
I came to coaching kicking and screaming after building an award-winning marketing agency, working with celebrity clients such as Lisa Nichols/Chicken Soup for the African-American Soul, Debbie Allen, Shaquille O’Neal, DeVry University, Wrigley’s, and the nationally syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show to name a few.
After supporting thousands of founders and leaders worldwide, I have had the privilege of playing an integral role in supporting folx as they learn and win. Intersecting these experiences, I now lead a flywheel that combines the work I love to do in the world–coaching, learning and fractional brand leadership–to grow and support founders that desire to achieve their business and personal goals without a “22-step” cookie cutter program that fails to honor their values and their work.
Our work is multifaceted and focuses on the wellbeing of the organization, its leaders and its bottom line. Many of our clients are solo founders or lean founders who can benefit from our flywheel approach and commitment to accessibility.

SN (Side Note)…
When I’m not working, I’m probably napping, spoiling my dog, or reminding myself that slow weeks are often the best. I’m a multi-passionate founder who believes support is a growth strategy, not a weakness, and that you can want (and achieve) money, rest, and meaning all at the same time.
