Personal Transformation and Leadership Development Coaching
‘I had many 'eureka moments' through these conversations and I went through a beautiful process of SELF DISCOVERY.’
‘I reached out to Steph at a time when I was going through a lot of change personally & professionally (for all the right reasons). When I told myself that I needed a Coach, Steph was the first (and the last) person who came to my mind.
I have known her through professional contacts and knew that we would have a wonderful chemistry and that she can add tremendous value to me.
I signed up for 12 sessions; and each coaching session was extremely rewarding.
Steph is very passionate about what she has to offer and she has a very impressive style of coaching. I had many ‘eureka moments’ through these conversations and I went through a beautiful process of SELF DISCOVERY. I feel I am a very different person now from where I started with Steph at the beginning of the year.
I feel I have accomplished MORE than what I wanted – all in 12 sessions.
I am more energized, rejuvenated and inspired than ever before! – all thanks to Steph!’

‘I'm glad I made the right choice and I'm glad that opportunity was presented to me.’
‘I still remember vividly the first time I met Steph. In the first induction training session I knew right away that if I had a choice for our next 4 months journey I wanted it to be with her. I’m glad I made the right choice and I’m glad that opportunity was presented to me. I believe it was destiny. There were ups and downs on my journey yet throughout she was a supportive amazing coach as well as a friend. She guided me to take one step at a time and gave me advice that kept me going and not give up when things were getting hard.
I am truly grateful for my 4-months journey with you Steph. May great things and lots of happiness find you well in your future journey.’

‘I met Stephanie within our company’s leadership programme. We spent 5 months together. She reminded me that I am the source and always have a choice. She helped me improve my thinking and gain clarity in what I truly wanted. I shifted from a victim mindset to a winner’s mindset. In a few words she is – beautiful, awesome, patient and positive. She guided me on the right path for me.’

‘She helped me to re-evaluate my life, acknowledge and take pride in my achievements.’
‘I contacted Stephanie when I was stuck at a low point in my work and personal life. At that time, I was unable to think clearly and she helped me organize my thoughts with the questions and activities that she brought to our meetings. She helped me to re-evaluate my life, acknowledge and take pride in my achievements, and feel more confident about myself, and my abilities.
I always looked forward to my sessions with Stephanie as she was always inspiring and informative. She provided me with lots of tools to help myself during a very difficult period in my life. Because of her practical and emotional support, I found the strength to make sensible practical decisions as to how to move forward with my life. And for that, I will always be grateful.’

‘Steph is a gem of a coach.’
‘Steph is a gem of a coach. She has so much life experience and wisdom and that doesn’t make her a ‘textbook coach’.
She ‘dances’ with her coachee, flowing and gelling with them rather than disrupts and dictates.
Her encouraging and listening qualities are admirable for a coach.
I’m sure you’ll have a great time growing and having Steph by your side. I really enjoyed working with her!’

‘Who better to share this journey with than with a Coach who cares for your development.’
‘Who is Stephanie Owen, The Coach?….Professional is the word I would use to describe Stephanie’s work ethic and attitude. However, this does not fully describe the human behind Steph The Coach…
When looking for a good Coach, it’s more than just looking for a Coach who has great coaching and working experience plus reputable coaching credentials.
You would want a Coach that you would be confortable working with as your partner in your coaching journey of discovery.
Who better to share this journey with than with a Coach who cares for your development. What better partner to have than to have a Coach who is a partner that holds you accountable for all your learnings.
You would want a Coach who has the heart to see you at your best! And…I can safely say that Steph has the heart to be that Coach for you!’

‘I cannot be happier with the results.’
‘Cookies are my passion and when I decided to create a company that would produce and sell what I believe to be the best cookies in South East Asia, besides the cookies themselves, I knew branding would play a vital roll in the success of my company, Grandma Stella cookies.
In my search for a branding company I asked a friend who has been involved in marketing her entire life and she recommended Stephanie. Working with Stephanie and her team was an enjoyable and enlightening experience and I cannot be happier with the results.’

‘Never satisfied for settling for second-best, Stephanie has the determination and resilience to take-on difficult business challenges and lead positive outcomes.’
‘I worked with Stephanie on the Nestlé Malaysia and Singapore creative account for over 7 years. Stephanie was always a passionate leader of the account, creating a strong team, delivering valuable business solutions and driving a digital innovation agenda.
With Stephanie’s guidance, the Nestlé Malaysia business grew over 450%+ winning new global, regional and local assignments. She also oversaw the transformation of the traditional advertising account into a holistic engagement solution, building user journeys across digital, social, PR, CRM, trade marketing and shopper marketing.
Never satisfied for settling for second-best, Stephanie has the determination and resilience to take-on difficult business challenges and lead positive outcomes; positive outcomes that often required the creation of new networks, inspiring performance from those around her or the courage to take calculated risks.
My highest praise is that I would love to work with Stephanie again, hopefully one day in the future.’
