Host of the top 1% Modern Manager podcast, author of Momentum, and founder of two businesses built on one idea: knowing isn't doing.
Two ways to work with me.
I run two businesses, built for two different people. Find the one that's you.
For individual managers
The Modern Manager
You manage a team and want to get genuinely good at it — the 1:1s, the hard conversations, the delegation you keep holding onto. Start with the podcast, go deeper with a program or coaching.

The Modern Team
You want to develop your managers and teams in a way that actually changes how they work — without losing days to training that doesn't stick. Microworkshops, delivered to your team.
Visit meeteor.com ↗Invite me to your stage or your show.
I speak and guest on podcasts about the real work of management — closing the gap between knowing what good management looks like and actually doing it. Warm, direct, practical, and built for the audience in the room, not a canned deck.
For events
Keynotes and fireside chats for conferences, companies, and leadership events.
For podcast hosts
A guest who shows up prepared, brings real frameworks, and makes your host job easy.
The Book
Momentum
Momentum: Creating Effective, Engaging and Enjoyable Meetings — my book on running meetings people don't dread and that actually move work forward.

“Mamie was wonderful to work with - professional, diligent, responsive, and engaged. Her presentation at the Lean Startup Conference totally hit the mark.”
“It was a pleasure to work with Mamie. She listened to what we needed, provided options that matched those needs, and delivered a series of workshops that exceeded our expectations. Her excellent ideas, tips, and tools provided a practical way for participants to implement healthy meeting strategies at work. We are still hearing from participants about how they are using her advice and bringing their team members along to make 'Mastering Meetings' part of their organizational culture. Thank you, Mamie!”
“Mamie's workshop was engaging, informative and empowering. The opportunity to focus on learning and increasing productivity and purpose in the workforce is truly valuable. Thank you!”
About Mamie.
I'm Mamie Kanfer Stewart. I help managers and teams turn what they know about good management into what they actually do — because the gap between knowing and doing is where almost every manager gets stuck.
I host The Modern Manager podcast (400+ episodes, over a million downloads, top 1% globally), and wrote Momentum. My work spans two businesses: direct support for individual managers through The Modern Manager, and team and company development through The Modern Team.
I've been starting things and fixing things that felt worse than they needed to be since I was twelve, when I ran my own summer camp because the one I'd attended could've been so much better. That pattern never really stopped: see a system that isn't working, rebuild it so it does. It's why I don't just teach management theory, I focus on the practical aspects of changing behavior. I recognize the knowing-doing gap because I've had to close it myself, over and over, not because I studied it from the outside.
Off the clock, I'm just as serious about practicing what I teach. I protect time for family, daily exercise, and the things that make life feel full (piano, travel, real evenings with the people I love) because a management philosophy that only works if you sacrifice your own life isn't one I'd want to sell you. If I'm asking managers to build sustainable, human-centered habits, I'd better be living inside my own advice.
