"I simply cannot say enough good things about the team at Simplified Leadership Solutions. I grew up in a small business and saw the passion with which my father ran his business. But I also saw the challenges he had because he did not know how to be the leader his team needed him to be. And as a result, he didn't get the most out of them and burned himself out wearing so many hats in the business. I knew there had to be a better way. I just didn't know what that looked like. I had never seen it before.
Fortunately for me. I met Stephanie Resnick early in my entrepreneurial journey and she changed my life forever. She helped coach me and built a talent and performance management system that helped my first company go from $19M to over $100M in revenue. When I acquired my second company she was the first person I called to come join me. And then I was fortunate enough to hire Jennifer Smiles shortly after bringing Stephanie on board. Together, the two of them were instrumental in developing the team that helped me take that second company from $25M to over $1.2B in sales over a 6 year period. But more important than the revenue growth, I had a team that was committed to our success and the highest employee retention in the industry.
While I can't promise that kind of growth for you. I can promise you this. I know what it's like to spend money at a small business and I hate wasting money. But I love investing money when I know I am going to get a huge return on that investment. I truly believe that investing in the coaching and frameworks that Simplified Leadership Solutions will bring to bear on your business will yield great results for you if you are bought in and committed to the process. I have seen it firsthand two times in my life and if I ever bought or started another company again, this team would be my first call."

" As COO of a scaling platform, I was confident in our vision. It was ambitious and clear. But rallying thousands of employees around a shared set of goals, each requiring meaningful change, is far easier said than done. Steph and Jen helped our organization align on a framework and bring it to life. They engaged leaders and teams across the business around what we set out to achieve, connecting people, process, and purpose in a way that actually worked.
The results were tangible with steady improvement in engagement and eNPS scores, stronger execution, and faster, more consistent results. Our leadership teams grew in confidence and clarity, their connection with the company greater and focus on driving the business within the framework we built together.
Having led large-scale operations and integrations myself, I’ve learned (many times the hard way) that clarity, rhythm, structure, and accountability are the non-negotiable foundations of sustainable growth. Steph and Jen not only live those principles; they make them practical, actionable, and adaptable to the realities of a fast-moving business. They’ve been in the trenches, and it shows in how they coach and guide.
If you’re a CEO or founder looking to turn down the noise, get your team aligned around your vision, and see real, measurable results, I can’t recommend Simplified Leadership Solutions highly enough."
Shaquille Walker, Co-CEO, HealthVantage Partners
"Stephanie and Jen were incredibly structured, engaged, and knowledgeable as we worked together to set the foundation of our company. Everyone on our team loved working with them and always came away from every interaction feeling energized and ready to build towards the future. My co-CEO and I gained insights from their work that would have otherwise been difficult, if not impossible, to gain. I highly recommend working with Stephanie and Jen to any CEO who is looking for a structured and repeatable process to ensure that everyone in their organization is rowing in the same direction."
Nick Kerr, Co-CEO, HealthVantage Partners
"When we first engaged Steph and Jen, I was candidly a bit skeptical that it was the right time to bring in an outside party to help us with what I considered “culture work.” I thought perhaps we needed to wait until we’d grown more, and that we could come up with a decent enough first pass on our own. Upon completing our work with them, I am happy to report I was superbly wrong on both counts. The work they helped us do was truly foundational not just culturally, but strategically; and while we have a great team, there is no chance we could have gotten to the level of clarity, specificity, and polish that we did without Steph and Jen’s expert guidance and facilitation. Our team is coming away from this work energized, refreshed, and laser-focused on a mission and strategy that we all believe in. My only regret is that we didn’t start working with them sooner! "
Dan Markwalder, DVM, Chief Veterinary Officer, Mission Pet Health
"I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with both Stephanie Resnick and Jennifer Smiles, founders of Simplified Leadership Platform, and I can confidently say their impact is transformational. Their deep understanding of leadership, organizational alignment, and human potential enables companies to bridge the gap between vision and execution in a meaningful and measurable way.
During my time working with them, they were essential in scaling a large mentorship platform across our organization, which became a cornerstone of our talent development strategy. Through their guidance, we were able to create a structure that not only attracted and retained top-tier veterinary graduates but also nurtured them into capable and confident future leaders. Their approach balanced strategic discipline with human connection—empowering our teams to see leadership not as a title, but as an everyday behavior that drives culture, engagement, and performance.
What sets Simplified Leadership Platform apart is its practicality and purpose. Stephanie and Jennifer don’t just consult—they partner, coach, and inspire. Their framework for aligning strategy, talent, and performance has helped us build an organization that scales intentionally while staying true to its mission. For any company seeking to elevate leadership, strengthen culture, and build a roadmap for sustainable success, I wholeheartedly endorse Simplified Leadership Solutions. "
Adam Resnick, Principal & Founder, Resnick Roofing & Contracting
I’m a fast-moving entrepreneur, and Simplified's approach has helped me slow down, think more strategically, and build systems that actually scale, which allowed me to take RRC from $50k to $30M over 5 years. The frameworks they use at SLS aren’t theoretical - they’re practical, tested, and proven. They equip leaders to turn goals into action and action into results.
As Stephanie’s husband, I’ve had the unique privilege of seeing the impact of Simplified Leadership Solutions up close. While I may be biased, I’ve also experienced firsthand the power of their work. Through our conversations about business and leadership, I’ve seen how SLS helps leaders simplify complexity, create clarity, and align people around shared goals.
What makes SLS stand out is its real-world foundation. Stephanie and Jennifer have led from the front lines of multi-million and billion-dollar organizations, and that experience shows up in every engagement. They understand the realities business owners and executives face and translate them into structures that drive alignment, accountability, and performance.
Their work doesn’t just develop better leaders - it builds stronger organizations that operate with clarity, accountability, and purpose.
Nick Lovejoy, CEO, Altro Pharmaceuticals
"We expect the absolute best from our senior leaders and so I wanted to ensure that the mentorship and guidance I was giving my team was evidence based and effective – SLS helped me structure a program that delivered those results. Team communication, collaboration, and culture have all improved since we brought SLS on board. Team members who have worked with SLS have improved the way they interact with their peers showing more empathy and understanding while still providing clear and effective feedback. We’ve also seen people who worked with SLS begin coaching and mentoring their peers and direct reports which has help multiply the benefits. The work they’ve done with our senior leaders has enabled us to delegate effectively, set higher expectations of team members and hold them accountable to more significant outcomes. The SLS team also helped me better understand my own leadership style and how I can best support members of my team. We saw clear positive return on our investment in SLS. We look forward to offering their coaching programs across more of our senior leadership team!"
