Welcome back to All Things Recruiting! In this episode, I sit down with executive coach Stephanie Hitchins for a powerful conversation on leadership, scaling past the seven-figure mark, and the often-overlooked emotional side of building a business. Stephanie shares how she got her start in coaching and why helping business owners become heart-centered, values-aligned leaders is key to sustainable growth.

We discuss what really happens at that million-dollar revenue threshold, why hiring gets harder, how culture can drift without strong systems in place, and what it means to lead people rather than just manage them. Stephanie offers so many tangible nuggets, from how to structure meaningful one-on-ones that actually work, to how to get clear on your company’s vision, mission, and purpose in a way that aligns and activates your team.

Stephanie reminds us that, as recruiters, we’re not just building teams for our clients, we’re also building something of our own. With that, it deserves the same level of intention, care, and strategy. Whether you’re new to the business or a seasoned pro, this conversation will inspire you to see your role as a leader through a fresh lens.
