“Stephanie Up Front has made a huge impact on our day to day operations.  Stephanie has helped me better communicate with, and manage, my staff.  As a result of her workshops I place people on teams based on behavioral styles and now my teams are much more balanced and effective.”

“Stephanie gave a presentation during NCSU's HR conference this spring. In 60 minutes, Stephanie was able to give the group some very useful take-aways to enhance their professional relationships. Stephanie's knowledge and enthusiasm really shine through, resulting in a dynamic, engaging experience for participants. I highly recommend her as a workshop facilitator or speaker!”

Stephanie Hester gave a wonderful presentation to the Kirk Job Seekers, a diverse group of people who have been laid off from work.  She talked about the personal challenges in her life (including unemployment) that led her to write the inspirational book, "Choose A Better Life".  Her candor and insight (and delightful sense of humor) were much needed and very well received.  She demonstrated genuine empathy for the concerns of the people in attendance, and offered helpful words of encouragement, based on her own experiences.  The response to Stephanie's presentation was overwhelmingly positive.

“Stephanie worked with the staff at CED on our DISC profiles. We had been through a big reorganization, and were learning new ways to work collaboratively. Her friendly, knowledgeable approach helped us break the ice and understand how the world looks from each others' perspectives. We continue to use the tools she gave us in our weekly staff meetings.”
