Success and Balance by Your Own Design

Like so many, Stephanie Woodward learned young that success in business required major sacrifice. She skipped

vacations, worked weekends, and put dating on the back burner all to climb the corporate ladder. But after years of

promotions, responsibilities, and garnering a respected industry-wide reputation, her body rebelled from exhaustion

and unhappiness.


She decided she needed a transformation-a big scale back from being tethered to her smartphone and constantly

on call in her job as an executive-and declared what she really wanted and needed in life. By ripping apart

personality patterns and things she'd been taught and believed to be true, Stephanie, now a whole life and

leadership coach, created a series of steps to achieve the elusive work-life balance by finding joy in life and success

in business.


In The Big Scale Back, she shares the specific framework and processes that she followed and now shares with her

clients, so you, too, can put them into action and find fulfillment, inner peace, happiness-and success-on your

own terms and by your own design.


STEPHANIE WOODWARD is the founder of Agency II Change, where she helps clients thrive across all areas of

their lives by developing custom coaching programs and exploring their work-life integration, their leadership style,

their interpersonal skills, and deepening their self-awareness.


Stephanie has her Master's of Science from Boston University's College of Communication and is a Certified

Professional Co-Active Coach and a Certified Personal Resilience Practitioner. She's also certified to administer The

Leadership Circle Profile 360 Assessment, as well as the iEQ9 Integrative Enneagram Solutions and CP Enneagram

leadership profiles.

      A certified life coach provides a blueprint for life-changing thought. Before 2019, Woodward approached her professional life the same way many other people do in the 21st century: She let work consume her and shape every aspect of her life. She hollowed out her existence in order to fit it into the business world: "A blend of people pleasing, a need for external validation, conditioning, and fear had me dressing up in what felt like a costume, participating in meetings that felt cold and formal, and whizzing through my days powered by adrenaline," she writes. It brought her professional success, but not personal satisfaction, she writes, and she eventually realized that many of the givens in her life were "limiting beliefs." Eventually she decided to make a "big scale back" and fundamentally change her behaviors. The tool she used, and continues to use, is the well-known Enneagram of Personality--a model of nine personality archetypes, from Principled Reformer to Modest Mediator, which focuses on "external needs and demands over their own"; Woodward falls into the latter category, and learning this, she says, helped to recognize patterns in her life and change them. Woodward is a highly personable narrative presence over the course of this self-help book, and she lays out the book's concepts clearly. She spends the bulk of the work discussing and explaining the Enneagram, and although it's a famously dense and unyielding subject, she manages to skillfully combine her own deeply personal stories with insights into the minutiae of the Enneagram's workings to make them easy to understand. Along with her insights, she offers readers reflective questions to analyze their own behaviors. Readers looking to make a change in their hectic life will find plenty to consider in these pages. A lively personality-driven plan for reshaping one's priorities.
