Stephanie Arnold
Strengthen intuition, communication, and team trust with Stephanie Arnold, Emmy-nominated TV producer and international bestselling author. Stephanie works with organizations to build psychological safety and high-stakes decision-making skills, drawing on her profound experience of predicting her own death during childbirth.
Stephanie Arnold is an Emmy-nominated television producer whose near-death experience during childbirth became the foundation for a body of work on intuition, communication, and survival.
During her third pregnancy, Stephanie predicted her own death in childbirth and warned her medical team repeatedly. No one acted until it was almost too late. She was clinically dead for 37 seconds before being revived, surviving only because one doctor finally listened. This experience, along with her time navigating the high-stakes, fast-paced world of network television, shapes everything she teaches about the cost of ignoring instinct and the value of being heard. Stephanie has gone on to author the internationally bestselling memoir 37 Seconds, which has reached readers across the globe.
Audiences leave Stephanie's sessions with a clearer understanding of how intuitive signals show up in high-pressure situations, practical tools for improving how they communicate when something feels off, and strategies for building the kind of trust that allows teams to act on instinct rather than dismiss it.
Book Stephanie Arnold when you need a speaker whose story doesn't just move people, but changes how they think and act.
