STEPHANIE D. MCKENZIE IS AN ADDY AWARD-WINNING FRACTIONAL CMO FOR FOUNDER-LED BRANDS AND A FOUNDERSHIP EDUCATOR.

"Wow, this exceeded all my expectations. Today I decided to be uncomfortable, not because it is a punishment but because I'm feeling worthy of wealth, to even say it is uncomfortable."

D.W.

"I didn't trust you when we started working together because I had been through so many people who talked a good game. But now, I not only trust you, but I know you are the real deal."

K.C.

"I wanted to work with her [Stephanie] directly, so when she offered 'Nano CMO', I knew I had to go all in. She coached me unapologetically, pushed me beyond my comfort zone, and was the catalyst that took my business to the next level! I'm excited for what's next."

Bad Founder...An Unfiltered Guide to Why You’re a Bad Founder (and What to Do About It)

Don't get offended, but you are more than likely a bad founder and this unfiltered guide tells you why (and what to do about it). It calls out the overworked control freak, the guru-chasing yes-person, the excuse-maker, the founder performing for folx who will never pay and the mission-led business running on hopes and haphazard hard work. So yes, you’re probably a bad founder, because most are. That’s the point.

A LITTLE HEARSAY (TESTIMONIALS)

"From the first 10 mins of talking with Stephanie, I knew she was just the kind of partner we look for at DivInc. She's business minded with such a depth of experience, and she wraps all of that together with a human, almost a soul-first approach to coaching. Being aligned versus hustling without the right reasons, bringing our full selves to our roles and companies, and humanizing your brand to invite others into the journey with you are just a few lessons I and our cohort members have enjoyed working on with Stephanie D. McKenzie.

I can't wait to work with Stephanie more!"

Brooke Turner, FORMER VP of Programs

DivInc, National Non-profit Organization

"You can expect true authenticity from the facilitator/educator. Nothing cookie cutter about the content or format. A true learning experience field with inspiration, guidance, support meet and potatoes information, Splash of humor and an awesome community"

Kantrese Smith, STUDENT AND COACH

Enrolled in Your Brand in Demand

"Our company No-H2O Auto Detailing is a mobile and environmentally friendly car washing service and Stephanie and her team really embraced our core values and brough exciting new marketing ideas and events forward that aligned well with our brand. Stephanie and her team did a great job of laying out a week of events for our grand opening in the Heights and she even surprised us with an official proclamation from the Mayor of Houston naming the week of our grand opening a No-H2O waterless week in Houston! We would highly recommend Stephanie and her team if you are looking for creative and fresh marketing ideas to move your business forward to the next level."

Brand Development Strategy (Micro CMO)

If you’ve been selling for a while, showing up, doing all the “right” things—and it still feels like people don’t BUY it. (Literally) You don’t need another Canva template. You need a strong foundation to build upon and that's often what has been missing. A tweak here, tweak there, new logos and graphics create busyness, but rarely increase revenue or profit without strategy. That's what this program offers.
