Bio:

Meg Stevens is a leadership coach, consultant, and counselor. Shortly after college, after being a manager for several years, she went back to school to get a Master of Science in Leadership Development, knowing that there was an art and a science to great leadership and that she wanted to be a great leader herself. While this course of study left her with just as many questions as answers, she became even more passionate about working with and helping leaders so that workplaces could be better. Meg has subsequently spent her career helping leaders work through change and be the best leaders that they can be for their teams. She led small and large teams throughout her career. Working in HR consulting, organizational change management, leadership development, and as a Human Resources Executive, she helped leaders manage significant change as a key leader working with the C-Suite on a mega-merger and subsequent spin-off.

After working with leaders through such intense times and watching the breadth of trauma that was occurring for folks during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, Meg decided to return to school to work on additional credentialing to become a Licensed Professional Counselor so that she could continue to work deeply with leaders on their individual and organizational changes. Meg will finish this program of study in May 2024 and begin the process to become fully licensed.

In March 2023, when Meg left her role in a Fortune 500, she started Meg Stevens Consulting where she has been working with leaders in a coaching and consulting capacity to support their individual and organizational change. She spends time coaching leaders who are managing personal and professional changes or those who are looking to achieve big goals in their professional endeavors. Meg has especially been able to support leaders who are looking for a more natural way of working or who need help finding their own natural leadership style. She’s hosted a “Natural Leadership Retreat” which is an experience where leaders can come together to support their professional development, restoration, and sense of connection, and to create new rituals for resilience. Meg expects that Meg Stevens Consulting will continue to host these sessions in the coming years.
