In a labor market defined by volatility, rising mental-health challenges, and razor-thin margins, organizations need more than inspirational quotes.
They need actionable frameworks that turn psychological safety into a measurable business KPI. That’s exactly what Stephanie Lemek delivers.
Founder & CEO of The Wounded Workforce, Stephanie blends over 15 years of executive HR and operations experience with cutting-edge trauma-informed practice. She doesn’t speak at teams—she activates them.
Speaking Tailored to You & Your Team
Some speakers seem to just like to hear themselves talk.
Some speakers use the same content over and over for every session. And that’s fine if that’s what you’re looking for, but that’s not how I approach my speaking engagements.
My goal is always to speak to the folks in the room (whether an in-person or virtual room) and meet them where they are to create action and meaningful engagements.
Your team’s time is valuable- my goal is to maximize the time and resources spent for what matters most to you!
