Strategic Communications Coaching and Counsel Firm Takes on Clients of Longtime Friend, Colleague and Mentor

It is with immense pride and humility and satisfaction to announce Steve Johnson Connects (SJConnects) is taking a big leap in growth by acquiring the WPNT Ltd. client book of business. We’ve have been well underway with the transition which will be completed by 1Q27. It is an amazing new phase as we enter our second decade of operations. The WPNT Ltd tag line (“Stronger communications. Better business results.”) fits neatly with ours – “Beyond engagement to connection.”

It all comes down to the philosophy that thinking strategically about your communications daily moves your business forward.

This is a such a big deal for me in a few ways – and they all are connected into one big opportunity. Primarily, this grows the base and breadth of clients and industries (airlines, private equity, biotech, healthcare/devices, chemicals) SJConnects works with.

But none of it happens without the trust that WPNT Ltd. founder Stephanie Nora and her clients have in the service and counsel I’ve provided over the last 15 years. Specifically, I have learned from her not only how to be a better coach, but to be a trusted partner to clients and business owner to myself. See the theme?

"Given Steve's and SJConnects' long-time work with so many WPNT Ltd. clients, I have complete confidence that this is the right move. Steve is an exceptional coach and strategist of the highest integrity and an all-round great guy.  I am delighted to be supporting him as his number two moving forward as he refines programming further while maintaining a strong commitment to client service. I am excited for the next chapter of SJConnects and WPNT Ltd."

— Stephanie Nora White

To be clear, WPNT Ltd. is shifting its focus to new business and curriculum development and 60-Day Intensives. Stephanie will also still be a fully-active colleague for both WPNT Ltd. heritage and SJConnects clients.

Thank you to everyone else we have worked with along the way, as well. We very much look forward to finalizing the transition over the next several months. And I cannot wait to demonstrate to existing and prospective clients why our work is at the forefront of effective, engaging strategic communications coaching and counsel – no matter the industry, no matter the backdrop, no matter the titles in the room.
