Need a Thinking Partner?
When others recommend me to their friends they often say that I am wicked smart. They say that I have helped them think through something quickly and that they have gotten a great result. They also say that I really want to help - and that I did help them.
Do you want a fresh perspective, and have someone on your side to help you think through a situation, a plan, or a vision? The first call/ Zoom meeting is absolutely free, and we can see whether I can help you.
My Books
After turning around several companies successfully, I was asked to write about how we did it. It was a bigger task than I thought!
Two practical, quick-to-read Top-Notch CEO Guides were published as a result:
- Volume 1: "101 Quick Tips for High-Talent Companies" (expertise-driven companies)
- Volume 2: "101 Quick Tips for ESOP Leaders" (leaders of employee-owned companies)
These books are a great stand-alone read, and they are even better when digested and applied in a small circle of your peers, guided by Dr. Stephie.

Testimonials
I have found that once or twice in a decade, if I'm lucky, I'll walk away from a discussion that has the potential to impact the way I live my life. Sometimes the potential is to impact the overall happiness of others or me; sometimes it is the potential to impact my career. The word "profound" comes to mind following one of these rare discussions. I just had one of these discussions with Stephie; this one has the potential to impact both others' and my own overall happiness and my career.

MIT Technology Review Magazine recognized her as 1 of the 100 most promising young innovators under the age of 35. She also won two coveted "Small Business InnoResearch Research" Awards.
Driving to succeed in her career and for her innovations to make a tangible difference in the world, she searched for courses on entrepreneurship, leadership, marketing, and business. She absorbed this knowledge and applied it to the innovations her research group was developing.
In 2005, Dr. Stephie Althouse (she goes by "Dr. Stephie) quit her job as a scientist and started her own company.
