Stacey’s Weekly Newsletter
A weekly pause for people who lead people.
This isn’t a tips-and-tools newsletter. It’s a steady reminder that leadership doesn’t have to feel so heavy and that there is another way to lead without carrying everything alone. Each week, I share a perspective or reframe to help you find your footing, understand the patterns you’re stuck in, and lead with more clarity and less exhaustion. If you’re ready for leadership to feel more grounded even with people who challenge you - you’re in the right place.

Another needed another week.Someone else mentioned vacation.The conversatio...

How are you teaching others to dance with you?
A leader I was talking with recently was frustrated with his younger employees."They don't take initiative.""They're always waiting for me to tell them what to do.""They just don't seem to think for themselves."He wondered if it was a generational issue. As we talked, I asked him a different ques...

Why Great Leadership Programs Still Don't Change Behavior
One of the most common things I hear from HR and Senior leaders sounds something like this:
"We invested in leadership training. Everyone loved it…and six weeks later, nothing had really changed."
I don't think that's because leadership training doesn't work. And I definitely don't think it's bec...

The Wobble
Last weekend, I watched teenagers do things that made the audience gasp.Flying through the air.Balancing on unicycles.Launching one another high above the stage.Every act required extraordinary skill.But it wasn't their talent that stayed with me.It was their relationship with the wobble.They exp...

When You Find Yourself Dancing Alone…Again
Leadership has a funny way of convincing us we should be able to do it alone.After all, we're the leaders. We're supposed to know what to do. Stay calm. Figure it out. Be resilient.Somewhere along the way, many of us start believing that asking for another perspective means we're struggling. I do...

The Hidden Cost of Being the Reliable One
Many reliable leaders don't realize they're overleading.
I've been thinking lately about reliable leaders.You know the ones. They're dependable, trusted, and when something important needs to happen, everyone looks to them. They're the people who catch what others miss, step in when things get m...

What does your vacation say about your leadership?
The leaders who struggle most to disconnect often have something in common.
As I prepare for vacation this week, I'm thinking about leaders.Not the ones packing their bags. I'm thinking about the leaders staring at their vacation balance. The ones who keep saying they'll take time off "after this...

Great leaders don’t like line dancing...
Most leadership advice sounds like choreography.Do this.Say this.Follow these steps.Use this formula.But leadership isn’t line dancing.It’s a partnership.And the problem with trying to control every move is that you stop paying attention to the person in front of you.That’s when leaders start cal...

Why Change Feels Slow (until it’s not)
I’ve watched my high school son grow 4.5 inches this year.It’s wild.Changes are big. Sudden. Noticeable.  You can almost see it happening.With adults… it doesn’t work like that.The leaders I coach are often impatient. They want to see changes in their team in the first few weeks or months. They...

19 years later…
My birthday is coming up in a few weeks, and it has me reflecting a bit.In 2007 (19 years ago next month), I left K-12 education. I was a Curriculum Director, adopting textbooks and teaching teachers. On paper, it all made sense.But something in me knew… it wasn’t it.Nothing was dramatically wron...
