New Level Work

New Level Work was born from a desire to solve a challenge that countless professionals face every day—poor workplace management. After years of working in Silicon Valley, founder Stéphane Panier saw firsthand how ineffective leadership stifled innovation and growth. As a seasoned executive, he worked with teams across various industries and noticed a recurring pattern: managers were often promoted based on their proficiency as individual contributors rather than leadership ability, leaving them ill-equipped to inspire, guide, and develop their teams.

This experience inspired him to create a leadership development company that would address these gaps while making a broader social impact. Panier envisioned a solution that would not only provide executives with the tools to succeed but also help organizations foster a culture of continuous learning and high performance.

The company started with a traditional coaching model, offering personalized one-on-one support to managers and executives. This approach proved highly effective, and as demand grew, the team recognized an opportunity to scale their impact across multiple organizations. The in-person coaching proved to be highly effective, so to provide scale and reach, it was integrated with technology. The result was a powerful combination of personalized human support and AI-driven solutions—meeting the demands of modern workplaces without sacrificing quality.

Innovation at the Core

New Level Work’s strength lies in its ability to blend human coaching, structured training, and advanced AI. This combination provides organizations with a holistic, scalable solution that delivers measurable outcomes globally.

“We tailor our leadership programs to meet the specific needs of each organization, ensuring that leaders at every stage of their journey receive relevant and impactful guidance,” says Panier.

At the center of this innovation is Leora, New Level Work’s AI-powered leadership development platform. Designed to complement traditional coaching, Leora offers real-time guidance, helping leaders navigate daily challenges with confidence. It enhances the overall experience by providing continuous support and delivering immediate, personalized insights to improve communication, manage teams, and make strategic decisions.

The impact of this approach is reflected in the company’s high Net Promoter Scores, signaling strong customer satisfaction and tangible results. By combining human insight with AI capabilities, New Level Work empowers organizations to develop leaders who can adapt, grow, and succeed in an ever-changing business environment.

One such organization is Chadwell Supply, which turned to New Level Work to address its leadership challenges amid rapid growth.

Chadwell faced a common issue: many of its internally promoted managers lacked formal training, making it difficult for them to lead effectively. To bridge this gap, the organization partnered with New Level Work to implement a scalable leadership development program, combining personalized coaching, structured communication training, and AI-driven support through Leora AI. The initiative led to stronger leadership, improved team cohesion, and higher retention rates, with widespread adoption driven by internal advocacy. By integrating coaching, training, and AI tools, Chadwell built a culture of continuous leadership development, enhancing employee engagement and business performance.

The benefit of the Leora AI Platform is evident when used in conjunction with Human Coaching. Companies are using Leora in between coaching sessions giving participants the opportunity to practice and revisit approaches introduced by the human coach. Furthermore, Leora AI protects and extends the investment in leadership coaching once the program has concluded. Leora is a resource that leaders can lean on to continue their development.

A Future Built on AI and Scalability

New Level Work is not just focused on solving today’s leadership challenges—it is shaping the future of leadership development. The company continues to invest in AI-driven solutions, particularly expanding Leora’s voice-to-voice capabilities. The goal is to make AI an essential daily tool for leaders, providing them with real-time insights that drive smarter decisions and deeper engagement.

With a commitment to continuous innovation, New Level Work remains at the forefront of leadership development. By integrating technology with human expertise, it offers a comprehensive solution that bridges the gap between individual growth and organizational success. Leaders are empowered to unlock their full potential, while companies cultivate high-performing teams that thrive in today’s fast-paced world.

The company prioritizes customization, scalability, and measurable impact, helping organizations build resilient leaders and adaptable teams. With on-going advancements in AI and a dedication to continuous improvement, New Level Work is setting the standard for leadership development in the digital age.
