Dr. Stephanie Duguid is a woman on a mission — and nothing is slowing her down. As the founder of Do Good Leadership, an international best-selling author, speaker, and creator of Exponentially Elevate Your Leadership Impact: The Leadership Dance, Dr. Stephanie has become a powerful force in the world of educational leadership and women’s empowerment. Her work is centered on helping purpose-driven women lead with confidence, authenticity, and action, transforming their lives and the lives of those they serve.
With over 30 years of experience in education, Dr. Stephanie has walked the walk — from the classroom to the boardroom — and now helps others find their voice, own their strengths, and lead with impact. Through The Leadership Dance, she offers a powerful nine-step framework to help women move through personal and professional transformation with clarity, grace, and intention.
Her philosophy is clear: “Leadership isn’t about being in front. It’s about being in alignment with your purpose, your passion, and the people you serve.” That belief is woven throughout everything she teaches, especially in her signature keynote, “Exponentially Elevate Your Leadership Impact,” where she invites women to “step up, step in, and step forward” into the leadership roles they were meant for.
Dr. Stephanie empowers women with practical tools and mindset shifts that lead to real change. Her framework, The Leadership Dance, is more than a metaphor. It’s a movement. Each of the nine steps represents a phase of growth and intentional leadership development.
Women who experience Do Good Leadership coaching or take part in her courses often say they feel like they’ve finally been “seen.” That’s because Dr. Stephanie brings heart and humanity into every interaction.
Her journey hasn’t been without challenge. After the loss of her mother — her greatest role model and a fellow educator — Dr. Stephanie found herself redefining what legacy, purpose, and leadership truly meant. It was this moment of profound reflection that sparked the creation of The Leadership Dance. She leaned into what she calls the “Decide, Discover, Defy” method — deciding to honor her mother’s legacy, discovering her untapped strength, and defying expectations by turning grief into a catalyst for growth.
Now, she shares that story with audiences around the country as a reminder that adversity doesn’t define us — our choices do. Her vulnerability and transparency make her relatable, approachable, and deeply trusted in the leadership community.
From her Empowering Women in Educational Leadership, which has shifted to Exponentially Elevate Your Leadership for season three, podcast to her speaking engagements and powerful workshops, Dr. Stephanie is creating a ripple effect of empowered, action-oriented women who are leading with boldness and integrity.
She’s also building momentum behind the scenes. With a new book launch in August 2025, an upcoming coaching course, and national media appearances, Dr. Stephanie is spreading her message far and wide. Her goal over the next year? To speak on stages across the country, sharing The Leadership Dance with women who are ready to stop playing small and start leading with intention.
As Dr. Stephanie puts it, “You don’t have to change who you are to lead — you just have to step into who you’ve always been meant to be.”
In a world where burnout is high and authenticity is rare, Dr. Stephanie Duguid is lighting the way for women to lead from a place of purpose, power, and peace. Through Do Good Leadership, she’s helping women everywhere realize that leadership isn’t a title — it’s a dance. And once you learn the steps, there’s no stopping you.
