Steffi August is not your typical coach she’s a force of nature.

A born leader, a powerful storyteller, and an unstoppable woman who turned her own pain into purpose.

​

​Originally from East Germany, Steffi knows what it means to live behind a wall both physical and emotional. After escaping the restrictions of a life she didn’t choose, she made it her mission to help others do the same.

​

Today, Steffi is a qualified Master Practitioner of Coaching, award-winning self-leadership and communication coach, keynote speaker, and creator of the transformational F.L.I.P. Framework a simple yet powerful tool to help people shift from stuck to strong, silence their inner critic, and lead with unshakeable confidence.

​

She has coached hundreds of professionals, entrepreneurs, and emerging leaders through her workshops, programs, and private sessions empowering them to speak up, show up, and own their space in every room they walk into. Her work blends neuroscience, psychology, coaching frameworks, and deep personal transformation.

​

In 2025, Steffi was named New Zealand BNI Member of the Year, recognising her impact and leadership across the country.

 

Whether she’s speaking on stage, leading a retreat, or walking barefoot on a beach in paradise New Zealand, Steffi lives by one truth: “You hold the switch. You’ve always had it. Now it’s time to flip it.”

 

When you learn to FLIP IT, everything begins to change.
