Hi, I’m Hanna Steplewska.

I make over 30 years’ international business, mentoring and coaching experience across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the USA work for YOU.

There is a magical moment, a spark, that happens when a client moves from not being sure how to do something to succeeding, and wanting more.

Enabling that spark for my clients is my passion.

My Approach

When I'm in a client facing role, time disappears. I am completely absorbed in the moment and everything moves in a state of Flow. I've been doing this in one form or another since I was 13 years old.

Since then I've gained over 30 years' experience coaching, mentoring and teaching in various settings, including as a professional action sports instructor, at-risk youth mentor, mentor leader, entrepreneur, corporate executive, life coach, and University lecturer. Along the way I’ve also distilled the best of attention neuroscience training developed at Google with leadership know-how from Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business.

I’ve combined that with a host of other certifications across enormously varied disciplines - all to support you. I put all of this experience to use when I work with my clients on their goals and aspirations.

Yes, it's a lot. And there's so much more:

Meaning and Engagement

I elevate my clients from executing well to a state of exceptional performance. 

I've  worked at early stage startups, publicly traded companies, for two space billionaires and with customers ranging from the United Nations and many nations’ governments to small private companies and large multinational conglomerates.
I've convinced CEOs to hire me over dinner and been chosen as a rainmaker by other CEOs in turn. I’ve closed nine-figure contracts and multi-year deals. I’ve worked in Operations, Product Management, Sales and Business Development. In my corporate career I've held senior roles, including Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, President and Board of Directors positions.

I bring all of this experience to the table when working with my clients, because those experiences shine a light on the challenges and struggles my clients are facing.

Broad Experience

While my education and professional achievements tell a story, they are not the whole story. 

I am the woman who taught Latin American millionaires' families to ski, mapped uncharted dive sites in the Straits of Hormuz, surfed virgin breaks off the coast of Africa and raced motorcycles against men, at triple-digit miles per hour.

I have moved across the planet multiple times in pursuit of interesting work. I've deliberately taken the job I was least qualified for to ensure I learned more. And the job that scared me the most, for the same reason.

I am comfortable with risk and change, big and small. This doesn't mean I will insist my clients do the same things; only that they trust I'm still alive after doing them and don't regret a single one.

Substance and World View

I have spent vast portions of my professional life being the only woman or the only Caucasian person in the room.

Often I was both of these at the same time, and often where English is not the primary language. I have personally experienced racial prejudice and discrimination, and have taken Governments to court over discriminatory policies and won.

I have also spent a considerable portion of my working life looking at Earth from above, experiencing something akin to what the astronauts refer to as "The Overview Effect": the feeling of a common humanity where the only line that matters is the thin line of the atmosphere protecting all life on Earth from the emptiness of space.

I draw attention to these experiences because they have shaped me in ways that positively affect my working partnerships with my clients.

Intellect AND Intuition

My coaching and training use evidence-based, proven methodologies…and some woo, too.

I am a scientist by training, willingly read science papers, and appreciate the rigor of physics, biology, chemistry and engineering.

Yet I also understand there are things science can’t yet explain.

I have a deep reverence for ancient traditions, and those that have stood the test of millennia. I sense and test with my gut as well as with my brain. I utilize various states of attention to get results. I meditate and practice breath work. My office contains rocks gathered on my travels. I burn sage.

You don't have to do any of these things to work with me.

Harness Broad Training and Experience

Here is my hard no: If you believe you can pray a rocket into orbit, that vaccinations or climate change are a hoax, that any “race” is somehow inherently superior, that it's OK to treat people as cash piñatas or that any belief system justifies violence - leave this page. We will not be working together.
