Stephanie Joong is a dynamic speaker, author, and business leader dedicated to helping individuals embrace their power, silence self-doubt, and step into their most confident selves. With over 15 years in the life sciences industry, she takes pride in serving as an operational leader by day and a voice for women always.

Amplifying underrepresented stories and challenging societal stereotypes on what makes the most competent leader is a passion close to home. As a co-author of the bestselling book, Brave Women at Work: Lessons in Confidence, Stephanie shares her story about overcoming professional setbacks, navigating uncertainty, and emerging stronger, wiser, and with greater resilience.

As a solopreneur, she founded the Real Women Within Reach community and provides situational coaching for a range of women seeking advice to grow and exchange support. After reinventing herself more than once, Stephanie carefully measures her days with an “ALIVENESS Scale, 1–5” to counter conventional markers of success.

Stephanie’s educational highlights include an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management, M. Eng. in Biochemical Engineering from Lehigh University, and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Bucknell University.
