About Stephanie Wachman

I partner with senior executive teams, CHROs, and law firm Talent and Professional Development leaders to help leaders communicate more clearly, work better together, and stay aligned around shared goals. My work is highly customized and focused on creating real change—not just good conversations.I’m the Founder & CEO of Symetree Strategies, a boutique leadership consulting firm. Along with a senior team of experienced consultants, coaches, and facilitators, we work with organizations and law firms globally to strengthen leadership effectiveness, team alignment, culture, and how leaders navigate change.Most of the teams I work with are already strong. Things aren’t broken—but alignment can drift. Leaders can spend too much time managing friction instead of giving each other feedback. This often gets in the way of achieving goals. Culture can get diluted and impact performance across the organization, especially during mergers and acquisitions.Where challenges typically show upIn organizations, this often looks like slow decisions, competing priorities, and gaps in leadership readiness when managers are promoted without the support or structure to succeed.In law firms, it often shows up around partner alignment, business development capability, mentoring, time management, leadership readiness, and day-to-day behaviors that define firm culture.How we workOur work is grounded in behavioral science, neuroscience, and positive psychology. It’s practical and focused on what actually changes behavior in the conversations and decisions leaders have every day.We work with teams to clarify expectations, strengthen trust, and align around what matters most. We make culture tangible by addressing how decisions are made, how feedback is given, how conflict is handled, and how accountability shows up in practice. Every engagement is custom.Experience and credibilityThrough Symetree Strategies, we’ve delivered leadership programs, keynotes, and executive coaching engagements for organizations including KPMG, FedEx, Microsoft, Dish Network, and Ally Law, working with senior leaders, executive teams, boards, and partners across more than 20 countries. Nearly 90% of our clients work with us again.I’m also the author of OWN Your Time and Sell Without Being Salesy.A final noteIf you’re looking for a trusted advisor to support leaders and teams, let’s connect.
