Biography and Summary
Stephanie Young,
Content Strategist
I have always been a good communicator. Early in my career, I attributed this strength to my chatty personality and love of the spoken word. Over time, I came to realize that the gift of gab is only part of the equation; without the ability to listen—actively listen—”communication” is nothing more than a word.
I love talking, engaging and sharing ideas. But what I love even more is hearing what others have to say and helping them say it when they can’t find the words. For more than 20 years, I’ve been offering strategic communications guidance and copywriting support to businesses of all sizes—from local start-ups to global industry giants. My sweet spot is turning complex internal jargon into real-people language that educates, informs and compels audiences to take action. I do this by asking questions. I listen, I learn, I understand my clients’ communication needs at an intrinsic level. Then I write.
As Content Strategist with Paradigm, I help clients boost their brand image, drive engagement and increase conversion rates through the development of unique and persuasive messaging that is meaningful to their audience.

‘When I joined Paradigm a few years ago, I learned very quickly that speaking up, challenging assumptions, and pushing back was not only accepted, it was encouraged. As a result, I continue to challenge myself to express my opinions (even the unpopular ones), add my two cents, and ask questions. My goal is to add value to the team beyond my day-to-day responsibilities and be a consistent source of thought leadership.’
