The extraordinary Stephanie Paul does 3 things exceptionally well 1. Leadership and Team Building for successful company culture. 2. Storytelling and 3. Speaking and Presenting training.
All of these three things are based in human behavior, communication skills and connecting to others for growth and development. I have been working with Stephanie for more than 3 years and her dynamic and fun nature make it remarkably easy! I look forward to our meetings weekly! I have learned so much and made leaps and bounds in my growth in many areas of my presentation skills, personal self-leadership, communication skills and leading my team to successful growth in my business.
If you are considering training in any or all of these three areas for yourself or to develop your team/s do not hesitate in working with Stephanie! She is a life-changer and quite frankly "INCREDIBLE"!!

Stephanie is a brilliant, transformational, and gifted career coach.
My company provided career coaching services to upper management, and I was curious to see how I could benefit from this. Stephanie started coaching me a couple of months ago and this experience has been eye opening and truly life changing for me. Both in my career and in my personal life.
I have done a couple of leadership trainings throughout my career, which I always enjoyed, but I have never experienced this level of “Aha Moments” and personalized training before. Stephanie’s ability to connect with her clients, make them aware of their specific blind spots and hold them accountable for the work that needs to be done is unique and outstanding. With her great sense of humor, ability to understand and connect with her clients and her very warm personality, she made this process fun and exciting. As our training went on, I was looking more and more forward to our weekly session. I caught myself in challenging situations during the week thinking of how I wanted to discuss this with her, get her input on my reactions and advise on how I could have handled this even better. The way I experienced difficult situations changed from making me anxious and feeling stressed to becoming an exciting training opportunity.
We laughed together when I described how I was practicing my new skills with family members, co-workers, and my team, assessed what went well and where I had room to grow. I highly recommend working with Stephanie if you are ready to take the next step in your leadership and personal development. She will be there every step of the way with you and makes the whole experience fun. She goes out of her way to assist you with whatever you discover on your journey. Stephanie goes above and beyond in her style of service and opens resources to you to support your high level of success that I never imagined would be available during coaching. I will be forever grateful to ChromaCode and Stephanie for this opportunity.

Stephanie has mentored on how to effectively communicate for the past five years. Her coaching was essential to me finding a way to describe complex ideas with clarity and simplicity. She has a phenomenal way of connecting with individuals and enabling and empowering them to do better. I strongly recommend Stephanie for those who need coaching for public speaking and investor pitching. At ChromaCode, we've more recently worked with Stephanie for our executive leadership training. She has enabled our team to communicate more effectively. Given the constraints on in-person meetings during the Pandemic, her training was particularly useful.

I wanted to become a more compelling speaker for podcast interviews and public workshops, so a couple months ago I started working with Stephanie Paul. She has helped me with all aspects of my speaking, from wardrobe to background to how to connect with my audience with compelling stories. Most importantly, she helped me do it in a way that is 100% authentically me. I still have work to do, but I’m 100 times better than before we started working together.

Dear Stephanie,
I can’t thank you enough for support and expertise in coaching me for my international speaking event.
It was with ease that I breezed through it after our many sessions and you stretching me through what I didn’t see possible at the time.
It was a Fun and Fantastic Experience!!! I already have recommended you to many of my friends.
I look forward to working with you again!

Keeping 50 people engaged during the company values brainstorm and working style assessments is skill+talent. We even captured few laughs. Very effective training approach for cross-disciplinary teams. Thanks for all your insights, Stephanie!

I had the pleasure and privilege to participate in a Women's Leadership conference which had Stephanie assigned as the facilitator for my group. Stephanie's engaging approach and ability to connect with the participants coupled with her incredible sense of humor brought out the best in all of us, making this a very meaningful and connected personal growth experience. She inspired great discussions and self-reflection, and made this one of the best conferences I have attended in a very long time. Highly recommend

Senior Director Corporate Development, M&A Integration at Oracle
Stephanie is an invaluable resource both as a personal leadership coach and as an advisor to my team. She has been working with me to hone my leadership skills and executive presence as well as my ability to provide more-personalized, individualized coaching and guidance to my team. Beyond my one-on-one experiences with her, I have worked with her in conjunction with my team and used one of her comparison reports to help me understand how to work with one of my long-time employees. Seeing our results mapped out side by side didn’t just reveal our differences – it helped me identify how I could better coach her through her struggles but also push her to grow in her position. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone who is looking to expand their own skills and/or lead their team to greater levels of success.

Stephanie is an amazing coach and mentor! She provides value beyond that of a typical speaking coach. Stephanie does not simply just tell you what you need to do; she drives you to the best result by understanding who and your audience are, grounding your presentation in neuroscience, and by holding you accountable for your own success. She constantly inspires those around her through her positive attitude, drive, and dedication. Her work ethic and consistent ability to produce high quality results propels her and her clients to new heights! If you are looking for someone to level up your communication skills and your success in life and business, I strongly recommend Stephanie.

I am/was generally terrified of public speaking. I have presented to audiences prior to working with Stephanie, but I performed only OK. I got the job done. After working with Stephanie, I opened up a conference of 525 people and was actually complemented on my performance. I still have work to do, but I know the areas I still need to improve, because I now know the process.
After working with Stephanie, I realized not only how much practice one must put into a presentation (it is significantly more than I imagined previously), but what the right work was. I never lacked the effort to prepare, but I was wasting a lot of time and energy on the wrong activities.
Working with Stephanie and getting feedback from a seasoned presenter was invaluable. I will never go into a big presentation without working with Stephanie to make sure not only I put on a great performance, but the audience gets the information and performance they deserve.
I also work with Stephanie on our company culture. She performs all the prehire DISC tests for us. This gives us a greater chance of picking the best cultural fit candidate for our business, which is absolutely critical. She has put on excellent culture workshops for our entire company, based on the DISC tests, which have added a ton of value to our employees both personally and professionally.
Stephanie is fantastic to work with for presentations and company culture and I highly recommend her.
John Hoefer
President at Milestone Risk Management & Insurance Services
Working with Stephanie was transformational for me. She helped me create a compelling pitch for a startup conference where I presented to a panel of investors, including one from Shark Tank. I learned to tell my story in an authentic and engaging way, and to make my presentation a performance. I literally received cheers from the audience at the end of my pitch, and one of the investors joined my board of advisors within the next few days. I highly recommend Stephanie, and I look forward to working with her again.

I had the pleasure of working with Stephanie for a few months on various forms of presentation and communication techniques. She gently guided me out of my comfort zone and elevated my confidence and skill set. I noticed things shift not just in my presentation skills but also in my networking abilities in business environments. I also had the pleasure of attending her "Presenting Power Workshop"; it was filled with great tips, skills, tools and tid bits from Improv for business to the science behind a slide deck and story telling. Stephanie has the ability to befriend your insecurities and draw out your inner fun, humorous more engaging dynamic self. I would recommend her training to anyone wanting to elevate your communication and presentation skills to the next level.

Stephanie provided our team with great insights into increasing emotional impact and engagement. Most extraordinary was her ability to quickly build rapport with the team and get us to step outside ourselves and see how our talk was being perceived, rather than how we wanted it to be perceived. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to make more impactful presentations.

Chief Development Officer at Pairwise
Words cannot describe how grateful I am for having you as my speaking coach.
Since Taking you on as my coach, my speeches have been delivered more “concise, to the point, heartfelt, and real,” according to others who have known me a long time.
Yesterday I delivered a very emotional speech at Pepperdine’s Commencement, where I mentioned key lessons from my brother Fernando who passed away recently. With your coaching, I was able to stay focused and deliver a sharp, touching, heartfelt message without getting lost in my emotions.
All through the day I was showered with compliments from people who were deeply touched with my message. I can honestly say that without your coaching, I don’t know how I could have gotten through such an emotional speech in such an elegant way.
The world gets to know about you, and I will make every effort to ensure that YOU touch every corner of the earth.
With deepest respect and gratitude,
Dr. Betty Uribe

Stephanie Paul is an experienced coach and a powerful trainer. She is also an exceptional speaker and is committed to the success of her clients. She brings her background as an actress and a comedienne, writer and production for both on camera and the speakers stage. I have partnered with Stephanie to build the delivery of my story and communicate it effectively and with humor. She was patient, and guided me with tips and tricks. I've referred her as a keynote and a coach to many friends and they've loved working with her. I highly recommend that you hire her and see the results for yourself!

It was wonderful to have the entire leadership team at Epic Sciences work with Stephanie. We have a disruptive technology, product portfolio and clinical data but had struggled to formulate a succinct, engaging and human way to tell our story. Stephanie heard our pitch, took input from the team and helped us distill our value proposition in a new and elegant way. More images, less text but incredibly powerful engagement from whomever we present to. It really opens the door to subsequent deep dives on the business and never leaves anyone unclear about what our company does or why they should pay attention to us. The coaching and feedback we got was also first rate. In two days of work, we had a transformed the articulation of our company. I would strongly recommend Stephanie to any CEO or leadership team who would like to have a deeper more substantive conversation with customers or investors.

I thought I was pretty good on stage until I worked with Stephanie preparing for a nerve wracking TEDx talk. Not only did she get me mentally prepared but the tips she brings from combining theater, public speaking and the business world are truly impactful. He tact and candor really get to the route of what you can improve on and make a serious impact. Such an essential skills needed for all serious leaders. Congrats and thank you Stephanie.

I had the pleasure of working with Stephanie when she was hired to conduct a session for our Women in Leadership program. Her session was about presentation, she utilized different activities to push the ladies out of their comfort zone (in a good way) and get them to really think about how they present themselves. Stephanie is very strong at verbally communicating her craft to help anyone she works with feel at ease with what can be a daunting challenge (presenting). I would recommend Stephanie to anyone who wants to take their presentation style to the next level.
