The Right Support Changes Everything.
What Would Change If You Had It?
There is a kind of magic that happens when a visionary leader and their EA partner truly click.
When they both believe in the vision. When they trust deeply, align effortlessly,
and care not just about the work, but each other's success.
These partnerships transform how you work, giving you space to breathe,
freedom to scale, and the ability to build a business that nourishes your life—not drains it..
This kind of support does not just happen. It is architected. And that is exactly what we do.
The Aligned Leader Partnership
A six-month container for visionary women leaders ready to be supported at the level they lead
You have built something remarkable. And you are carrying all of it alone.
The Aligned Leader Partnership is where that changes.
This is not about hiring an assistant. This is about building partnership architecture from the ground up. From the hiring process through complete integration. From overwhelm to aligned flow.
Who This Is For
You are a visionary woman leader who has built something meaningful. Your business is thriving. Your impact is growing. But you are in every meeting. You are the bottleneck in every decision. You are managing strategy and logistics and emotional labor and execution.
The skills that built your success have become the cage keeping you from what is next.
You know you need support. But previous attempts at hiring have not solved the problem.
Because you were not just hiring wrong. You were missing the partnership infrastructure that makes delegation actually work.
You are ready to build that infrastructure now.
You are ready to invest in being truly supported. Not just in theory. In reality.
"Stephanie does not just help you hire an EA. She architects partnerships. From our very first conversation, she saw that what I needed was not just task support, but a true strategic partner. She guided me through hiring Lauren and then coached both of us through building the kind of relationship I did not know was possible. Lauren now protects my time and energy, operates with real autonomy, and I trust her completely. I feel cared for in this partnership. That is not something you can hire for. It is something you have to intentionally build. And Stephanie knows how to build it."
— Kate, Founder & CEO
What Makes this Different?
Most leaders hire an EA and hope it works out. They hand off some tasks. They try to delegate. And six months later, they are still carrying everything because the partnership never had a foundation.
The Aligned Leader Partnership is different.
This is not hiring support and crossing your fingers. This is intentional partnership architecture with expert guidance at every stage.
We begin with hiring. I do not just help you write a job description. I help you create a Vision and Position Description that attracts the right partner. Someone who understands they are being invited into partnership, not just task execution. I guide you through screening, selection, and extending an offer to someone who is genuinely aligned with your vision and values.
Then we build the partnership together. For six months, I coach both you and your EA partner through the complete integration journey. Weekly sessions. Real-time support. The framework and systems that create trust, clarity, and flow.
By the end of six months, you have a partnership that is self-sustaining. The kind that allows you to step fully into your visionary role while everything else is held with precision and care.
What Is Included
The Aligned Hire Process (Weeks 1-6)
Together we create your Vision and Position Description. This is not a job description. This is a compelling articulation of who you are, what you are building, and who you need beside you as a true partner.
We then attract candidates through strategic outreach. I conduct initial vetting and screening conversations. I guide you through selecting the person who is genuinely aligned with your vision, values, and way of working.
This process typically takes four to six weeks and results in you making an offer to an EA partner who understands from day one that they are being invited into partnership.
As soon as your new EA Partner begins working with you, our six months of integrative coaching begins.
This partnership will change everything if...
You have built something meaningful and are ready to scale without burning out
You know you need support but previous hires have not created the partnership
you actually need
You are ready to invest in infrastructure that matches the complexity of your vision
You understand that being supported is not indulgence. It is strategy.
You are ready to invest in infrastructure that matches the complexity of your vision
You are ready to stop carrying it all alone
This is not your next step if...
You just want someone to manage your inbox and calendar without deeper partnership
You are not ready to invest time and resources in building true collaboration
You expect your EA to figure everything out without guidance or structure
You are looking for the cheapest option rather than the right fit
Align - Months 3-4
Building Rhythm, Clarity & Communication
This is where systems and rhythms solidify. Your EA partner is now comfortable with expectations. Work is flowing. Communication is happening consistently. The partnership is taking shape.
During Align, we focus on:
-
Refining all operational systems based on what we learned in Discovery
-
Building project management infrastructure for your key initiatives
-
Establishing weekly and monthly rhythms for updates, planning, and recalibration
-
Creating templates and standard operating procedures for recurring responsibilities
-
Deepening your EA partner's authority to make decisions and act on your behalf
You begin to experience what it feels like to be genuinely held by support rather than managing everything yourself. You start to see spaciousness in your calendar and clarity in your days that was not possible before.
Discovery - Months 1-2
Laying the Foundation for Sucess
This is where trust begins. Your EA partner immerses themselves in your business, your vision, your rhythms, and your priorities. We establish the Five Cs as the foundation of your partnership: Clarity, Communication, Context, Consistency, and Caring.
During Discovery, we focus on:
-
Integrating your EA partner into your business operations and workflow
-
Establishing communication protocols and decision-making frameworks
-
Creating initial systems for calendar management, project tracking, and priorities
-
Building trust through transparency about what is working and what needs adjustment
-
Understanding how you work best and what true support looks like for you
This is also when we introduce your EA partner to key relationships. Your team members. Your vendors. Anyone who is part of making your life and work function.
Empower - Months 5-6
Stepping Into Trust & Shared Leadership
This is where the partnership becomes self-sustaining. Your EA partner is operating with significant autonomy. They are making decisions confidently. They are anticipating needs before you articulate them. You are supported, and it shows.
During Empower, we focus on:
Add paragraph text. Click “Edit Text” to update the font, size and more. To change and reuse text themes, go to Site Styles.
-
Refining delegation and decision-making so your EA partner knows what to handle independently versus when to consult you
-
Preparing for future transitions and business evolution
-
Creating sustainability practices that protect both your energy and your EA partner's capacity
-
Celebrating progress and integrating the transformation you have experienced together
By the end of month six, the partnership has its own momentum. The systems and communication rhythms are established. Your EA partner is fully integrated into your work and life. And you are operating with a level of ease and presence that was not imaginable before we began.
Elevate
Leading in Flow with Full Partnership
This is where you continue on your own. Everything flows. Confidence and trust are established. You are free to focus on what only you can do. Vision. Impact. Growth.
The partnership you built continues to evolve as your business grows. And if you want ongoing support, you have the option to join the Calibration Circle, a quarterly container for leaders who have completed The Aligned Leader Partnership and want continued guidance as life and business shift.
What Happens After Six Months
By the completion of our six-month partnership, you and your EA partner will have established systems, rhythms, and ways of working that sustain themselves without ongoing intensive coaching. The partnership will have its own momentum.
You may choose to join the Calibration Circle, a quarterly group container for leaders who have completed The Aligned Leader Partnership and want ongoing support as your business and life evolve.
I am also available for one-off recalibration sessions if circumstances change significantly. If you are scaling rapidly, launching something new, or navigating a major life transition that requires partnership evolution.
But the goal of our six months together is that you will not need ongoing intensive support. The partnership you build will hold you through whatever comes next.
"Stephanie showed me what it means to be supported at the level you lead. Before her, I thought having an assistant meant someone handled my calendar and email. But Stephanie was my partner—strategically, operationally, and emotionally. She helped me move to Nashville, pack and unpack my house, set up every detail for my book tour so I could just show up and be present. She knew my vision before I fully articulated it. She protected my energy when I could not protect it myself. Our partnership had a rocky start. She had to tell me my schedule was not sustainable and I had to learn to actually receive support, not just delegate. But that honesty, that willingness to see me fully and tell me the truth, that is what made our partnership extraordinary. What Stephanie does now—teaching women leaders and their executive partners this level of support is even possible."
— Jessica, Founder & CEO
The Truth...
The women who have built their success alone are suffocating under the weight of their own mastery.
The partnership you are about to build will set you free.
If this feels aligned, and I believe you already know it does, let's begin.
