"Stephanie is an exceptional career coach who helped me unlock my potential and explore diverse career pathways during graduate school. Working with her broadened my perspective on possible careers and eventually led me to my current role as a scientist.
After landing my first job, I reached out to Stephanie for additional coaching, and she worked with me to create a comprehensive plan for my first 90 days on the job. Our discussions about my work environment and strategic goals proved invaluable; the three-month plan not only boosted my efficiency but also empowered me to tackle complex projects at work. This directly led to higher compensation at work and made me feel like a valued team member.
Overall, Stephanie is an empathetic coach who truly empowers women at every stage of their career journey. I highly recommend her coaching to any career-oriented woman looking to elevate her professional path." ~ CH, Industrial Scientist

"Career moves are never easy, especially if you are set in you ways by virtue of a long experience span - the fear/embarrassment of feeling 'exposed', or 'short/over-selling' youself, and never knowing which resume format is correct. Fortunately, my coach Stephanie Burke, PCC, CPCC, was able to dispel these thoughts (I now learn is very common), and provided positive workarounds and approaches to deal with it. Stephanie provided the much needed boost in confidence and self-esteem and I could see the results based on the responses coming in, be it a result of a revamped resume or a custom courtesy cover note, as well as tips on maximizing the use of LinkedIn. This coupled with the resources available at LHH were of tremndous use. Many thanks to Stephanie and LHH." ~ Sudhadkar (Sud) Prhabu
"I want to express my gratitude for Stephanie Burke. I met Stephanie at a DisruptHR networking event and I took interest in her coaching business The Self-Empowered Leader. A few months later, when I was at my absolute lowest point this year, she reached out to me to follow up on a proposal she had prepared for a company I was working with at the time. I let her know that due to unfortunate circumstances, I would not be requiring her services. She immediately offered to provide those services to me instead, complimentary for 3 months, to help me get back on my feet.
I have been mentored in a group setting for pretty much my entire corporate career, however, I had never had a 1:1 coach before. Stephanie served many years as a strategic HR partner, which is what I strive to be, and I'm always up for self-improvement so I was happy to accept her generous offer! I was expecting customized coaching to help me set and achieve my goals - I got that and so much more. What I was not expecting was how deeply moved I would be by the support she provided me during this time of hardship. Working with Stephanie was like shining a bright light in the dark to help me see a way forward and I am so, so appreciative for that.
Thank you so much Stephanie, for empowering me through your mission to call leaders forth into their highest potential!
Nicole Craveiro, CraveHRO
