Bothered by the state of the world and passionate about how she could use her life to make a difference, at the age of 19, Steph searched for ways she could create a better world through volunteering in different organisations and travelling the world in her search. At the age of 22 years, on a trip to Nepal, Stephanie stumbled across 7 disabled women living in a tin shed and heard their stories of suffering and stigma. Using her last $200, she paid for trainers for the women to learn new skills, which in turn empowered them to earn money, become independent and transform their lives.
Her visionary leadership led her to start an organisation called Seven Women, which has now educated, trained and employed over 5000 disabled and marginalised women in Nepal through education, skills training and employment pathways. Seven Women has developed many women-led enterprises, including a manufacturing business that exports fair trade products internationally, a cooking school and a guesthouse targeting the tourist market in Nepal. Stephanie also has a responsible tour company leading life-changing tours to Nepal, which allows travellers to make a difference in the local community and train marginalised women as tour guides. Stephanie believes in ‘trade not aid’ when seeking to empower; she provides examples of how all businesses can make a difference using the framework of sustainable development goals.
Stephanie’s impact in making a difference reaches far beyond Nepal. She has enrolled and empowered hundreds of volunteers and interns who have contributed to her organisation at different stages of its growth and shared her story on a global stage to audiences of thousands and of all ages in over 20 countries.
Currently, Stephanie Woollard continues to be a driving force in the realms of business and social enterprise. Leveraging her extensive experience and success with Seven Women, Stephanie has embarked on a new chapter, extending her impact by coaching business leaders and professionals in Australia.
Through her innovative 12-week Business Boot Camp programs, Stephanie imparts invaluable insights, strategic acumen, and a profound understanding of social entrepreneurship. Her coaching goes beyond conventional business practices, emphasizing the integration of social impact into corporate strategies. Stephanie's commitment to fostering positive change resonates as she empowers leaders to align their businesses with purpose, fostering not only financial success but also a meaningful and sustainable impact on communities. Stephanie Woollard's dedication to bridging the worlds of business and social enterprise continues to inspire a new generation of leaders committed to making a difference.
In 2016 Steph was presented at the United Nations New York with the Rotary International Responsible Business Award, followed by the Woman of the Decade Award at the Women’s Economic Forum in New Dehli in 2017 and an award from the Governorate for entrepreneurship in Bahrain and Junior Chamber International Young Person of the Year Award, presented in Estonia. This year Steph was awarded an Order of Australia.
