All About Me
I believe leadership is about people — not titles.
I watched my mother live this truth. As a teacher and Welcome Wagon Lady, she had a gift for connecting deeply with everyone she met. She showed me that leadership starts with relationships, trust, and service.
When I began my own career as an educator, I realized not everyone had been taught how to lead this way. I saw talented, passionate women stuck in overwhelm, self-doubt, and cultures that didn’t support authentic leadership.
That’s why I created The Leadership Dance — my 9-step framework designed to help women lead with clarity, confidence, resilience, and heart.
Through keynote speaking, mentorship programs, and leadership resources, I help women — and the organizations that support them — create lasting impact from the inside out.
Sound Familiar? Then You’re Right Where You Should Be
You’re a woman in education or a service-driven field who knows she’s meant for more — but you feel stuck or stretched thin.
You struggle with confidence, imposter syndrome, or navigating challenging leadership dynamics.
You want to foster stronger relationships, build a positive team culture, and lead with greater authenticity.
You know your leadership matters — but you’re craving guidance, clarity, and the tools to help you show up fully.
If you nodded yes to even one of these... you’re not alone.
I Get It Because I’ve Lived It
I’ve stepped into toxic cultures and helped transform them. I’ve overcome my own self-doubt and mindset challenges. And I’ve coached countless women to move past imposter syndrome and into bold, authentic leadership.
That’s why I’m so passionate about this work. I believe women deserve leadership guidance that meets them where they are and helps them become who they’re meant to be — without losing themselves along the way.
If you’re ready to grow, I’m here to guide and cheer you on every step of the way.
Meet Dr. Stephanie
Keynote speaker, leadership mentor, author, educator, and creator of The Leadership Dance.
For over 30 years, I served as an athletic trainer, teacher, and administrator in K-12 and higher education. Along the way, I became known for my ability to connect with others, foster positive cultures, and empower those I worked with to lead with confidence and compassion.
After seeing too many talented women held back by self-doubt or unsupported leadership environments, I knew I had to do more. That’s when I launched Do Good Leadership.
Now, I speak on stages across the country, mentor women leaders through transformational programs, and share insights through my podcast and blog.
I believe leadership is one of the greatest opportunities we have to do good in the world. And I’m honored to help women like you rise, lead, and make an impact.
