Peter’s insights and guidance were a game-changer during our pre-seed round. His clear, actionable advice helped me refine the pitch for our EdTech platform, contributing to our successful funding.

Thank you, Peter, for being a pivotal part of our journey.

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

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.


— Dr. Linda Henke
Founder, Santa Fe Center for Transformational School Leadership

Peter is a conscientious human being who truly exemplifies human-centered leadership. I’m often in awe of his keen understanding of the impact of systemic systems of oppression and more importantly what is needed to disrupt those systems.


— Dr. Sharonica Hardin-Bartley
Superintendent, University City

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.
