Stephen Graziani

From Technology Leadership to Empowering Human Potential

My journey spans four decades—from leading high-growth technology organizations to shaping modern workforce solutions. Today, I’m honored to serve as an executive coach and thought partner to individuals and organizations committed to transformation, growth, and purpose.

I help people connect deeply with what matters most, step into their potential, and lead with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re navigating a leadership transition, scaling your impact, or seeking greater fulfillment, I bring a grounded yet visionary approach to support your evolution.

Philosophy

I believe that people are inherently creative, resourceful, and whole. Each of us carries within the capacity to grow, adapt, and thrive—even in the face of complexity.

Coaching, at its core, is a collaborative partnership. It’s a space for courageous conversations—where truth emerges, blind spots are illuminated, and intentions become action. Together, we surface what’s possible, resolve what’s in the way, and build the capacity to lead well and live fully.

As a Fellow at Columbia University, I am also exploring the frontier of hybrid intelligence in coaching—where human wisdom and AI tools combine to deepen reflection, support clarity, and enhance results. Technology, when used wisely, becomes a force for greater insight and transformation.

Performance Foundation

My coaching approach draws from a diverse foundation of disciplines, lived experience, and research. It is shaped by:

30 years of technology and organizational leadership
Columbia University’s high-impact coaching framework
Decades of research into the journey of Mastery
The science of positive psychology
Certified Purpose Coaching methodology
Somatic awareness and life design practices rooted in yoga and mindfulness

Together, we activate inner resources, align action with purpose, and generate momentum that endures.
