As the daughter of Mexican immigrant parents, I take immense pride in my Mexican American heritage. My father, a newly naturalized US citizen, joined the US Army, leading us to live in various places around the world. These experiences exposed me to diverse cultures and people. Growing up as a military dependent instilled in me the values of hard work, discipline, and unwavering commitment in all aspects of my life. Coming from a blue-collar family, I aspired for a brighter future. At the age of 18, I was juggling multiple roles as a college student, an NFL Cheerleader, and holding three jobs to finance my education and sustain myself.One of my jobs involved working as a sales consultant for a prominent fitness chain. By the time I turned 20, I was promoted to Sales Manager, and at 22, I became the General Manager. It was during this time that I honed my sales and conversion skills, managing a sales team and consistently meeting daily quotas. I firmly believe that every opportunity and experience we encounter in life serves as preparation for our future endeavors. As a wife, mother, athlete, and business owner, I intimately understand the challenges of achieving a work-life balance. Drawing from my personal experiences, I am able to provide guidance and coaching founded on real-world knowledge.Seeking a fresh environment, I embarked on a new chapter in Austin, Texas, in 2020. Within a mere three months of my arrival, I was fortunate to be offered a position as the Director of Growth and Performance at one of the largest real estate companies in the central region. During my first year in this role, I developed a comprehensive one-year training program for the company, introduced numerous additional training initiatives, and provided coaching to agents to support their success.This exceptional opportunity led to my promotion to Vice President of Training & Coaching within just one year.Throughout this transformative experience, I attained mastery in training agents, content creation, and expanded my knowledge in marketing, technology, and the development of company-wide training systems and schedules. I had the privilege of training thousands of agents over a span of two years. These achievements were recognized by the Platinum Top 50 organization, which recently honored me with the prestigious "Trainer of the Year" award.These remarkable experiences have now paved the way for my next journey as the Founder and Owner of Stephanie Perez Coaching and Consulting.
