Frequently Asked Questions

While both coaches + therapists help individuals improve their lives, therapists typically focus on diagnosing + treating mental health issues, while I focus on helping SYPs develop their own goals + expand their capacities in three areas to help them understand their motivations through quality questions + observations + suggestions.

Stephanie Butron follows a client-centered process that involves understanding the client's needs, goals, and challenges.

I’m going to try to get things on the table and aim the SYPs in the direction of action by being of help, encouraging check-ins between sessions, co-creating homework assignments, and monitoring your progress in 60-minute zoom session.

+ You will get quality questions, observations, and suggestions by my noticing, thinking, discerning, and connecting the dots.

+ Quality questions will help you understand your own motivations and will be delivered in a gentle and compassionate, but also straightforward and direct way.

+ I engage with an empathic, compassionate, curious “non-understanding” practice to double-check and achieve mutual understanding

I take my critical thinking and coaching practice extremely seriously. Personally, I want to spark the fire in our current and future leaders to strive for quality interpretation, decisions and actions as opposed to quality results. Professionally, I believe the broader impact on society will be decided by the quality solutions and creations from young professionals today. My objective is to inspire, engage, and empower SYPs to understand the foundational and powerful concepts that manipulate their lived experience by analyzing and assessing historical failures in their respective industries. With a reliable critical thinking, reading, and writing practice, the young professional might be able to analyze and assess their current circumstances more clearly, relevantly, and accurately while also reducing the likelihood of error. As a coach, my principle intent is to just be of some help to you.

A smart young professional (SYP) is a high-achieving individual at any education level in any industry. This includes SYPs in internships, entry-level positions, management roles, program

management roles, entrepreneurs, and so on —essentially, positions young professionals

—between the ages of 20 and 35– are in. I specifically mean to include industry positions

that emphasize doing as well as understanding: SYPs in engineering positions already understand the importance of applying mathematical models to real structures used by the wider public—they understand models and methods then apply them in the real world in high-risk situations. In SYP coaching, I help SYPs understand and apply historical concepts within their industry to their professional lives— the context where problem-solving and creativity are taking place. The SYP needs to learn and apply the concepts of their industry’s history to the current challenges in their industry today as a form of professional development.
