Curious, Connected & Calm
How leaders are better together.
Stephanie's second book, Curious, Connected & Calm: How Leaders Are Better Together, demystifies team dynamics and empowers leaders with the tools for bringing talented people together in ways that ensure the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Drawing on her work with boards, founders and executive teams, Stephanie explores why capable leaders so often struggle to perform as a team, and what it takes to build the trust, openness and productive challenge that high-performing teams depend on.
The book offers practical guidance for leaders who want their teams to think more clearly, work more collaboratively and stay steady under pressure.
Curious, Connected & Calm was awarded Top 3 in both the Leadership and General Business categories of the 2025 Australian Business Book Awards.

Purpose, Passion & Performance
How systems for leadership, culture and strategy drive the 3Ps of high-performing organisations.
Stephanie's first book, Purpose, Passion & Performance, was named one of Australia's top three leadership books in 2021. It explores the connection between why an organisation exists and how well it performs, showing leaders how a clear, shared purpose shapes culture, behaviour and ultimately results.
Drawing on her work with boards, founders and executive teams, Stephanie explains why purpose is only valuable when it changes what people do each and every day, and how leaders can bring it to life through the decisions they make and the conversations they lead.
The book offers practical, grounded guidance for leaders who want to build organisations where people feel connected to something meaningful and are energised to do their best work, both individually and as a team.
Stephanie's first book, Purpose, Passion & Performance, was named one of Australia's top three leadership books in the 2021 Australian Business Book Awards.
