“Conversations with Peter are transformational! He listens intently then offers advice that provides the foundation for systemic change and personal growth.”

—Dr. Cassandra Walker Suggs, Director of Educational Equity and Access


“Stiepleman is a perfectly imperfect leader. When working with him, his head and heart are fully on display.

His past experiences serve as part rule book, part play book, and part post-game film—all bound together by a commitment to teachers, students and families, and the greater community he serves.”

Dr. Leigh Neier, Professor, University of Missouri


“Peter is the kind of leader who sees challenges and finds creative ways to resolve them.

His teacher pipeline initiative, for example, diversified a school district’s teaching force and made teacher retention more likely.”

Dr. Shari Camhi, Superintendent and President, AASA


Talking with Peter is a conversation which illuminates, through thoughtful listening, questioning, and dialogue, a transformational vantage on learning and leadership—leaving the conversation with renewed purpose and aspiration.

— Lindsey Troutman, Executive Director of College Readiness, Lamar CISD, Texas

“When you work with Peter you discover immediately the power of profound listening.

He listens, not to fix, but to understand the context of your work and your aspirations.

He listens with his heart first.”
