Allow me to introduce myself…My name is Dae (for short).
Hey there! I'm so glad you're here. If you're looking for a typical consultant who will give you a 100-page report filled with jargon you can't use, you're in the wrong place. However, if you're seeking a partner who will help you build a team that's both wildly successful and genuinely fulfilled, then we'll likely get along great.
My journey to founding Stephens Strategic Solutions wasn't a straightforward path. I learned my first and most important lesson about leadership on a football field. As a team captain, I had the perfect playbook, but I quickly realized that the playbook is useless if the players don't trust the person calling the plays. It hit me: leadership isn't about strategy; it's about trust.
I carried that lesson with me when I became the President of a large college ministry. I saw again that true influence doesn't come from a title, but from a towel—from a genuine desire to serve others. Now, as I wrap up my Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) in Strategic Management, I'm fascinated by how the research is finally proving what I learned in the trenches: the most effective, profitable, and sustainable way to lead is to put your people first.
That's why I started this company. I'm on a mission to help leaders like you bridge the gap between the playbook and the players. I want to give you the strategic tools to drive incredible results AND the heart to build a culture where people love to work because you shouldn't have to choose between winning and being a leader worth following.
Let's build something great together.
