Hi Leaders!

Welcome to Your Ally in Leadership! I’m so excited to have you here because this space was built with leaders like you in mind—the disruptors, innovators, and ambitious trailblazers who know they’re destined for more. Let’s be real: leadership at the top is rewarding, but it can also feel like a tightrope walk, constantly balancing strategy, team dynamics, and relentless expectations.

Leadership isn’t waiting, and neither should you. The challenges of today’s workplace require leaders to have guts . Leaders who can adapt, connect, and inspire teams to thrive will win. This is your time to rise above the status quo, seize opportunities, and position yourself for what’s next.

Let me introduce myself.

If we haven’t met, I’m Stephanie Chung, and I’ve walked the path you’re on. I’ve made history as the first African-American to lead a private jet company, I’ve broken barriers. I’ve led teams that have generated nearly $1 billion in annual revenue. Companies hire me when they need explosive growth in their revenue results or in their people’s leadership results. I am a leader of leaders as an Board/Advisor to several companies. Along the way, I’ve shared my experiences as a #1 international bestselling author and keynote speaker, reaching audiences in over 101 countries and 60 languages. But what I’m most passionate about is helping others grow, lead, and achieve their own success.

Here’s what I’ve learned: Leadership isn’t just about titles, and success isn’t just about numbers. It’s about building trust, fostering connection, and showing up as the kind of leader people want to follow. That’s what helped me break through, and it’s what I’m here to help you do too. I created this Substack to bring those ideas to life in a dynamic, actionable, and truly personal way. This is where we dig deep, have honest conversations, and build the leadership skills that create lasting impact.

As I think back on my leadership journey, my biggest breakthroughs didn’t come from going it alone. They came from the people who challenged me, mentored me, and gave me straight talk. They helped me see what I was capable of when I didn’t even see it myself.

That’s what I want this space to be for you: a resource, a community, and a guide to help you navigate the highs, lows, and everything in between as you rise. Whether you’re managing a team, navigating office bs, or pitching to decision-makers, this space is here to give you the clarity, tools, and confidence to move forward. Because here’s the truth: getting to the top isn’t about having all the answers: it’s about knowing how to lead yourself and it’s about knowing how to lead your team with trust, connection, and purpose.

So, If you’re a leader with your sights set on the C-Suite but aren’t quite sure how to get there, I want you to join me. If you're a small business owner ready to ignite explosive growth this year, I want you to join me. If you’re a top-performing salesperson determined to claim the #1 spot, I want you to join me. And if you’re a woman thriving in a male-dominated space who wants to strengthen your executive presence, I want you to join me.
